DORIANE PIN Beats MAYA WEUG in Thrilling 2025 F1 Academy Title Fight

January 20, 2026

• DORIANE PIN captured the 2025 F1 Academy title after a season-long battle with MAYA WEUG, securing the championship with 172 points to Weug’s 157. The Mercedes junior’s decisive moment came in Las Vegas when Weug crashed out of the reverse grid race due to confusion on a safety car restart, clearing Pin’s path to a crucial victory that put the title beyond reach with one race remaining.
• The expanded 18-driver grid delivered proper racing drama from Shanghai to Vegas, with CHLOE CHAMBERS consistently in the mix and finishing third overall despite missing the final title fight. Pin and Weug traded wins throughout the season – both ending with three victories each – but Pin’s superior consistency with seven total podiums versus Weug’s eight proved decisive in a championship that went down to the wire.
• Breakout performances came from rookies ELLA LLOYD and EMMA FELBERMAYR, with Lloyd jumping from seventh to second in Montreal after capitalizing on front-row chaos, while Felbermayr claimed her first series win in Canada. The season showcased genuine depth beyond the title contenders, with LIA BLOCK taking her maiden victory in Singapore and multiple drivers proving they belonged on the same track as the championship favorites.
