GRRL! SUMMARY:
- Fresh off her F1 Academy championship, DORIANE PIN is in Abu Dhabi this weekend for career-defining meetings with Mercedes. The 21-year-old French driver got the full celebration treatment at Brackley – 500 people, giant posters, the works – because when you deliver a title, that’s how a serious team responds.
- PIN isn’t playing coy about her ultimate destination: “For me, it’s F1 – that’s the goal.” While her 2026 path isn’t locked down yet, Mercedes is clearly committed to maximizing her options. That’s what backing should look like – opening doors, not limiting them.
- The championship has already shifted PIN’s profile at home, with media requests flooding in since Vegas. She’s smart about the visibility game too, knowing that “wherever I go, it needs to be publicized” – because women’s racing careers live or die on exposure. Decision coming before Christmas means we won’t wait long to see what Mercedes has planned.
UPCOMING:
- Doriane Pin Paris media tour in two weeks
- 2026 career decision expected before Christmas
