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.

F1 Academy put up a strong showing at Zandvoort as the hard-fighting pack came back from the winter break to compete at the challenging venue in unpredictable but mostly dry conditions. PREMA Racing wrapped up the Dutch weekend with a first-time win for home hero Nina Gademan and a good haul of points for championship leader Doriane Pin.

BWT Alpine F1 Team has confirmed Dutch driver Nina Gademan as a driver for next season in the F1 Academy. The 21-year-old talent will face her first full season in this all-female racing class in 2025. In 2024, she impressed in the fourth race of the season at the Zandvoort circuit. She was given the opportunity to compete with a Wild Card and crossed the line in fourth place in the first race and tenth in the second. This was good for a total of thirteen points in the championship.
