DORIANE PIN Climbs Through Chaos to Match Personal Best at Yas Marina FRMEC

February 17, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

DORIANE PIN bounced back from an unlucky first race incident to show genuine progress at Yas Marina, matching her personal best P16 finish from Dubai. The Mercedes junior got spun by Kai Daryanani in Race 1 while running just outside the top 15, but her pace throughout the weekend proved she’s closing the gap in what’s basically a mid-season crash course.
The Iron Dame’s weekend showcased exactly what we want to see from development drives – consistent improvement across all three races. Starting P23 in the reverse grid Race 2, she gained seven positions in the opening corners and fought hard in the pack, while Race 3 saw her capitalize on track incidents to climb from P17 to her weekend-best finish despite the chaos around her.
PIN’s preparation strategy is paying dividends as she gears up for her dual 2025 campaign in F1 Academy and Formula Regional European Championship. Running with Prema in Mumbai Falcons colors, she’s already collected four top-20 finishes in six FRMEC starts, proving this Middle East detour is exactly the kind of smart preparation that sets drivers up for success in their main programs.
