Doriane Pin macht nach Mercedes-Test den Traum von der Formel 1 zum festen Ziel

Doriane Pin, die F1 Academy-Meisterin von 2025, absolvierte im April 2026 einen Test mit Mercedes und betrachtet einen Sitz in der Formel 1 nun nicht mehr als fernen Traum, sondern als konkretes Ziel.

Die 22-jährige französische Rennfahrerin, die 2024 dem Mercedes Junior Team beitrat, fuhr während der Einheit den Mercedes W12 aus dem Jahr 2021. Sie wurde die erste F1 Academy-Meisterin, die einen Formel-1-Wagen testete, sowie die erste Frau, die eine Mercedes F1-Maschine pilotierte. Pin beschrieb die Erfahrung positiv und äußerte die Hoffnung, dass dies zu weiteren Möglichkeiten in der Serie führen werde, einschließlich eines möglichen Einsatzes im ersten freien Training (FP1).
