Revved up and raring to go!

Our junior driver Doriane Pin has confirmed her return to F1 Academy in 2025, with another title challenge firmly in the sights of the French racer.

Driving the Mercedes-AMG F1 Academy entry, operated by Prema Racing, Doriane is looking to go one better than her impressive second place finish in this year’s female series.

Full Focus on Title

“I am excited to continue this journey together with the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team and Iron Dames next year,” said Doriane.

“After becoming vice champion in F1 Academy in my maiden season, I am extremely motivated to go for the drivers’ title in 2025.

“I will be pushing myself hard to improve over the winter and hopefully can enjoy an even stronger season next year.”

F1 Academy, which races on the F1 support bill, starts in China next year before visiting Saudi Arabia, Miami, Canada, Netherlands, Singapore, and concluding on the Las Vegas Strip Circuit in America next November.

Support from Mercedes and Iron Dames

“Doriane has enjoyed a very successful first season in single-seaters,” said Gwen Lagrue, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team Driver Development Advisor.

“Making the switch from GT and endurance cars is never easy, as both the driving style and skill set required is different. She has handled that change well, achieving success in several championships and competing strongly in F1 Academy.

“She has scored some notable successes and finishing second overall in her first season in the category is a superb achievement.

“Considering the progress she has taken this year and the experience she now has, we are confident that Doriane can fight for the F1 Academy title in 2025. We, along with Iron Dames, are looking forward to supporting her as she does so and looking forward to a successful year ahead.”

Deborah Mayer, Iron Dames founder, added: “Doriane embodies the values of the Iron Dames: passion, determination, and an exemplary attitude. We are proud to see her representing the Iron Dames on the international stage at just 20 years old and inspiring the next generation of female drivers.

“Her 2025 campaign will enable her to consolidate her place among the world's top single-seater talents. With the unwavering support of the Iron Dames family and elite partnerships with Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 and PREMA Racing, we are ensuring she has the best possible environment in which to develop and succeed at the highest level.”

Further Experience

Doriane’s F1 Academy campaign forms the centre piece of her 2025 plans.

The 20-year-old Iron Dame will also compete in the Formula Regional European Championship (FRECA) once again and take part in select rounds of the Formula Regional Middle East Championship at the start of the season.

The Story So Far

Doriane has confirmed herself as one of the foremost female racing drivers in recent years, impressing as she has risen though the ranks.

As an Iron Dame, the Parisian is a member of a ground-breaking project that provides a pioneering platform committed to promoting and supporting women in motorsport.

It is through this programme that Doriane has been able to truly demonstrate her talent behind-the-wheel and seen her career flourish.
