Pin wins 2025 F1 Academy title, PREMA claims Team Championship

It has been a perfect F1 Academy finale for PREMA Racing under the glamorous lights of Las Vegas, as Doriane Pin capped a strong full-season run by winning the 2025 Driver Championship. The French racer, a Mercedes-AMG F1 Team junior driver and an Iron Dame, made a key breakthrough on Saturday, when she cruised to victory in a hectic, wet Race 1. She then stayed out of trouble in Race 2 to clinch the title. Throughout the course of the season, she achieved four wins, the most of any driver, and eight podiums.
 

Nina Gademan and Tina Hausman also had solid weekends. The Dutch,  BWT Alpine Formula One Team-supported racer ended up sixth in points, securing her fourth podium in Race 1 with a strong performance in the rain. She then captured six more points in Race 2, highlighting a consistent growth that also handed her victory earlier in the year.



 

Hausmann had an equally impressive showing starting from practice and qualifying, which gave her a chance to fight for the podium. Unfortunately, she was taken out before Race 1 even started in an accordion effect contact. Racing under the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team banner, she then had a solid points day in Race 2, ending up P8 in the standings.
 

The results achieved by Pin, Gademan, and Hausman enabled PREMA Racing to secure its third consecutive Team Championship and carry on its undefeated status.

 

#3  Nina Gademan

"The weekend was quite solid in the end. I got P8 in qualifying and it was decent, especially without a tow. Race 1 was on the wet, and I finished P2, which was pretty strong. I had a good pace as well. Race 2 was not the easiest as we were lacking a bit of top speed, and it was very hard to defend on the long straight and fight forward. Driving-wise, we saw great progress during the weekend. It's been a pretty solid season in the end. If we hadn't missed out on all those points in China, we would have been fighting for P3 in the championship. To know that we can do it is quite good. I take the confidence and what I learned with PREMA and Alpine this year into next year to make it a good one."
 

Qualifying: P8 - Fastest lap: 2:07.987

Starting position Race 1: P1 - Race 1: P2
Starting position Race 2: P8 - Race 2: P7



 

#28  Doriane Pin

"What a season! We are Champions and got the Teams' title as well on Saturday! We have been working so hard to achieve this title, and PREMA has been there since Day 1, working together. I want to thank all the people who were there for me since the beginning, my family, everyone at Mercedes and Iron Dames, as I wouldn't be here without them. I'm very excited to be able to celebrate together, and I’m excited for what comes next."
 

Qualifying: P4 - Fastest lap: 2:06.978

Starting position Race 1: P5 - Race 1: P1
Starting position Race 2: P4 - Race 2: P5

 

#78  Tina Hausmann

"To be able to race on this stage and represent a Formula 1 team was amazing. I want to say a big thank you to Susie Wolff, F1 Academy, PREMA, and everyone from Aston Martin who made this journey possible. I'm so grateful to them and also to the fans who supported me so much. It was amazing and I cannot put it into words. I developed so much as a driver and as a person. We had a great start here at Las Vegas, an intense track I really like. It was tricky to drive with low grip in the rain. My motto going into this weekend was to enjoy everything as much as possible, because I knew it was the last time. Unfortunately, I missed out on my podium chance in the first race because I was taken out while in P2. A bit of a pity, but we knew that it was possible, and we ended the season on a high. It's tough to close a chapter, but I'm looking forward to the next one that starts today."
 

Qualifying: P6 - Fastest lap: 2:07.574

Starting position Race 1: P3 - Race 1: DNF
Starting position Race 2: P6 - Race 2: P8
