DORIANE PIN Survives Vegas Chaos as Title Rival MAYA WEUG Crashes Before Start

November 22, 2025

• DORIANE PIN delivered when it mattered most, navigating treacherous wet conditions in Las Vegas to claim victory and extend her championship lead to 20 points. The Mercedes junior showed championship composure, avoiding the chaos that claimed multiple drivers while methodically working her way past teammate NINA GADEMAN for the win. With just one race remaining, PIN now sits in the driver’s seat with 26 points still available.
• Championship heartbreak struck MAYA WEUG before the race even began, as the Ferrari-backed driver was eliminated in a pre-start collision with TINA HAUSMANN. The incident completely shifted title momentum, removing PIN’s closest threat from contention in what had been F1 Academy’s tightest championship fight. WEUG still holds mathematical hope but faces a nearly impossible 20-point deficit heading into Saturday’s finale.
• The wet Vegas opener showcased breakout performances from several rising stars, with ALBA LARSEN briefly leading before wall contact ended her charge, and rookie RACHEL ROBERTSON claiming fifth on her F1 Academy debut. AURELIA NOBELS secured her first podium shot in fourth, while veterans like CHLOE CHAMBERS and ELLA LLOYD saw their races end in the barriers, proving no one was immune to the Strip’s treacherous conditions.
