Doriane Pin in line for possible DTM return with Mercedes-AMG

No woman has competed in the DTM since 2022, but Motorsport-Total.com reports that 22-year-old Frenchwoman Doriane Pin could return with Mercedes-AMG in 2027. Pin drove a Winward-run Mercedes-AMG GT3 alongside Maro Engel and Fabian Schiller during a two-day Pirelli tyre test at Le Castellet in late October, where she reportedly impressed with good times.

Pin joined the Mercedes junior team in 2024, won the all-female F1 Academy title in 2025 and was promoted to development driver for Mercedes in Formula 1 in 2026. A further Mercedes-AMG test is due at the Hockenheimring on Thursday, run by DTM team Landgraf, with Pin expected to drive.

Landgraf's second cockpit has been held by Tom Kalender for the past two years and is currently uncertain, while Lucas Auer is expected to stay with the team. The test could indicate that Pin is a candidate for that seat.
