Mercedes star secures title at Las Vegas Grand Prix
Mercedes-backed driver Doriane Pin clinched the 2025 F1 Academy championship by securing a fifth-place finish in the final race held in Las Vegas. Leading into the last round, the French racer was nine points ahead of Ferrari’s Maya Weug, with the first race having a pivotal impact on the title contest. Despite winning the initial race, Weug’s collision with Tina Hausman forced her out of contention, setting up a challenging situation for the rest of the weekend. While Chloe Chambers emerged victorious in the subsequent race, Pin’s consistent performance, finishing fifth, was sufficient to claim the championship, alongside celebrated names like Marta Garcia and Abbi Pulling. Following her historic triumph, Pin was commended by F1 team principal Toto Wolff and F1 boss Stefano Domenicali for her impressive achievement in the prestigious motorsport event.
