Whilst there’s no doubt Doriane Pin had a strong weekend in Miami, the French driver will probably leave the USA slightly disappointed.
The weekend kicked off well for Pin, who topped the timing sheets in Practice 1. After Abbi Pulling finished in P1 in Practice 2, it looked set to be a two horse race between Pin and Pulling throughout the weekend. But Pulling pulled clear in Qualifying to secure both Poles, and then dominated every lap of Race 1 and 2. Try as she might, Pin couldn’t get close to Pulling Race 1 and finished in P2. In Race 2, Pin slipped further behind and finished in P3 behind Bustamante.
It’s a sign of the quality Pin has, that she’s left disappointed with P2 and P3. But, Pin is now 34 points behind Pulling in the F1 Academy Championship. The Mercedes driver will have her work cut out when the next round in Barcelona comes around.
