DORIANE PIN Claims F1 Academy Title While MAYA WEUG Falls Short in Vegas

November 23, 2025

• DORIANE PIN pulled off the perfect championship strategy in Vegas, needing only a top-six finish to lock up her first F1 Academy title. While MAYA WEUG mounted a last-ditch effort with a late-race pass for third, PIN’s calculated fifth-place finish sealed a 15-point championship margin that proved her season-long consistency trumped dramatic final-race heroics.
• The title fight took a decisive turn when WEUG crashed out during Saturday’s formation lap, handing PIN the reverse-grid victory that put her in the driver’s seat. CHLOE CHAMBERS delivered a perfect home-soil performance, leading every lap from pole to win the finale, while ALISHA PALMOWSKI grabbed second in what became a showcase of the series’ competitive depth beyond the title contenders.
• PIN’s championship crowns a meteoric rise from F1 Academy runner-up in her debut single-seater season to champion with Mercedes backing. Her celebration in parc fermé with Toto Wolff, George Russell, and Kimi Antonelli highlighted how seriously the F1 paddock takes this pathway – and PIN becomes the third different champion in three years, proving the series is developing genuine depth rather than just crowning repeat winners.
