As the season comes to an end, seven drivers finish their career with f1 academy. Doriane Pin finished as the winner of the series and ended her career in the academy on a high. For the first time in F1 Academy, the battle for the drivers’ title was decided in the final race which shows the competitiveness the series has become.
Doriane Pin: Mercedes
After scoring points in every race possible across the seven rounds, Pin won the championship in Las Vegas. She won races in Shanghai, Miami, Montreal and Las Vegas with the latter two being the first time they have had races on these tracks.
She also reached the podium on a further four occasions including one P2 and three P3 with her lowest race position being in P6 (for race one in Zandvoort). Pin was also the fastest lap on seven occasions across all races in the F1 calendar.
Maya Weug: Scuderia Ferrari
Weug finished second in the championship after being 15 points behind Pin. In two races during the season, she failed to score points (one DNS and one Retirement). The Dutch driver finished on the podium nine times including three P1 positions (two where she started on pole).
In total, she had three pole positions, two fastest laps and three P2 finishes across the races in the F1 calendar. At the start of the season, she moved from Prema to HP while still driving under the Ferrari name.
Chloe Chambers: Red Bull Ford
