DORIANE PIN Gets Mercedes Billboard After F1 Academy Title Win Over MAYA WEUG

December 1, 2025

• DORIANE PIN wrapped up the F1 Academy championship in Las Vegas style, finishing with 172 points to beat MAYA WEUG by a solid 15-point margin. Mercedes didn’t just send a congratulations text – they rolled out the red carpet with a billboard at their Brackley headquarters and a standing ovation that showed exactly how they value their junior driver investments.
• The 21-year-old French driver has been making the most of her Mercedes Junior Programme opportunity since joining in 2024, her debut F1 Academy season. With previous experience across Formula 4 UAE, World Endurance Championship, and European Le Mans Series, PIN brought serious racing credentials that translated into championship hardware when it mattered most.
• While PIN’s championship victory comes with a substantial prize fund for her next career move, she’s keeping her options open but hopes to maintain her Mercedes connection. Team principal Toto Wolff’s genuine pride in her season-long consistency suggests this partnership has room to grow – exactly the kind of long-term thinking women’s motorsport development needs to see more of.
