Doriane Pin, a Mercedes driver, has been crowned F1 Academy champion. The 21-year old Frenchwoman needed only to finish in top six in Race Two after she won the reverse-grid race on Saturday while Ferrari rival Weug was involved in an accident during the formation lap.
Weug needed to win the race in order to defeat Pin. She passed her rival two laps before the finish line for third, but she finished behind Alisha Palowski, who was second, and Chloe Chambers (who won on home turf after leading every lap since the pole position).
Pin becomes the third female champion of the series after Marta Garcia and Abbi pulling in 2024. Pin was second in Pulling’s first single-seater season last year.
