Doriane Pin fait de son rêve de Formule 1 un objectif après ses essais avec Mercedes

Doriane Pin, championne de la F1 Academy 2025, a effectué un test avec Mercedes en avril 2026 et considère désormais un siège en Formule 1 comme un objectif concret plutôt que comme un rêve lointain.

La pilote française de 22 ans, qui a rejoint le Mercedes Junior Team en 2024, a piloté la Mercedes W12 de 2021 lors de cette séance. Elle est devenue la première championne de la F1 Academy à tester une monoplace de F1 et la première femme à essayer une machine de F1 Mercedes. Pin a décrit l'expérience de manière positive et a exprimé l'espoir que cela conduise à d'autres opportunités dans la discipline, notamment une éventuelle participation à une séance d'essais libres 1 (FP1).
