Doriane is one of the foremost female drivers in motorsport, and has just one target in her mind for the season ahead: Becoming champion.

Doriane said: “I’m really excited for the new season. I have been working incredibly hard over the winter to be as prepared as possible for the year ahead. I’m determined to give it everything I’ve got, and to push myself even further, to fight for the title. That is the only goal I have in mind.

“Revealing the livery for this year’s car is another milestone that helps build my excitement. I think it looks absolutely incredible and it’s such an honour to represent Mercedes and the team’s junior programme in F1 Academy.

That success precipitated a move into the FIA World Endurance Championship for 2023, competing in the LMP2 category alongside Mirko Bortolotti, and former F1 driver Daniil Kvyat.

The crew claimed a podium at the season-opening race and Doriane went on to become the first woman to win the coveted ‘Revelation of the Year’ Award.

She ended the year by getting her first racing experiencing in single-seaters, finishing second overall and claiming a race win in both the Formula 4 South East Asia and Formula 4 Middle East Championships.
