In a world where speed and precision reign, Doriane Pin stands out as a true meteor. Last Wednesday, the young Frenchwoman saw her career take an exciting turn by joining the development team of Mercedes F1, a role that will allow her to shine even brighter under the spotlight of Formula 1.
A Well-Deserved Promotion
Mercedes announced this Wednesday that Doriane Pin, a member of its junior program and reigning champion of the F1 Academy, has been promoted to an “extended” development driver role within the German team in Formula 1. At just 22 years old, the young driver finds herself thrust into the deep end, within one of the most prestigious teams on the circuit. This promotion is not only a recognition of her talent but also a strong symbol for female representation in motorsport.
A Multifaceted Role
By joining the reserve and development driver team, Doriane Pin will participate in various activities, ranging from simulator work to on-track missions. She will be present at several Grands Prix, providing support to the Mercedes-branded F1 Academy driver. It’s as if she is becoming the conductor of a mechanical symphony, where every note matters to resonate the power of the machine.
Recognition at the Right Time
As she receives her trophy for being the champion of the 100% female discipline at the Autosport Awards this Wednesday evening, Doriane sees her career take on a new dimension. In Mercedes’ announcement, it is specified that she will double her role as a development driver with a competition program “that will be announced soon.” A way for her to not waste time and continue to gain experience on the track.
An Inspiring Speech
Doriane Pin does not hide her pride. “I am very proud and grateful to take on the role of development driver within the Mercedes F1 team,” she stated. Her two years in the junior program have allowed her to mature as a driver, and she sees this new step as a valuable opportunity. “I am excited to continue working with everyone in Brackley and Brixworth.” For her, this is not just a professional advancement, but a true human adventure.
A Strong Message for Women in Motorsport
Doriane knows that her success is also that of all the women who dream of making their mark in the world of motorsport. “I also want to warmly thank the entire F1 Academy team who helped me reach this position,” she added with emotion. “This championship offers a wonderful platform for female drivers, and I am honored to receive the trophy tonight.” As she continues her journey, she hopes to inspire other women to follow in her footsteps, proving that with determination and passion, anything is possible.
