Career

Karting

Berthon began his international karting career in 2006, with the highlights being a third place finish in the Copa Campeones Trophy ICA class and fifth in the French Championship Elite category. The following year he again finished fifth in the French Championship Elite class. He also finished eighth in the South Garda Winter Cup KF1 and 13th in the World Cup KF1 categories.

Formula Renault 2.0

In 2008, Berthon moved up to single–seaters, taking part in both the Formula Renault 2.0 West European Cup and Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series for Boutsen Energy Racing. In the West European Cup he finished in the points on four occasions, scoring nine points to be classified in 18th place, whilst in the Eurocup he failed to score a point, with his best race result being a 12th place at the Nürburgring meeting.

2009 saw Berthon remain in both series for a second season, this time racing for the Spanish team Epsilon Euskadi. He won his first Eurocup race at the opening round in Barcelona after team–mate Albert Costa was disqualified for a technical infringement.[2] He followed that up with a further podium at the Hungaroring to finish sixth in the standings.[3]

In the West European Cup, Berthon took a victory at Spa–Francorchamps along with six other podium finishes to finish third in championship, behind Jean-Éric Vergne and champion Costa.[4] He was also crowned as French Formula Renault 2.0 champion, with the series being run as part of the West European Cup season.[5]

Formula Renault 3.5 Series

In October 2009, Berthon sampled a Formula Renault 3.5 Series car for the first time, testing for Tech 1 Racing at Motorland Aragón in Spain as a reward for winning the French Formula Renault 2.0 title.[6] He drove for the recently–crowned champions Draco Racing during the next test at the Circuit de Catalunya and in December 2009 it was announced that he would drive for the team in the 2010 season.[7] He was joined at the team by Colombian driver Omar Leal.[8]

After finishing on the podium at the season–opener in Motorland Aragón and again at Brno, Berthon secured his first Formula Renault 3.5 Series win on home soil at Magny–Cours, holding off a stiff challenge from Tech 1 Racing's Daniel Ricciardo.[9] He followed that up with another podium finish at Hockenheim to be classified in seventh place in the championship standings.[10]

Berthon will return to the series in 2011, replacing Dean Stoneman at ISR Racing after the Briton was forced to pull out of the championship due to illness.[11]

Formula Three

In July 2010, Berthon made his Formula Three debut, racing for the ART Grand Prix team in the British Formula Three Championship round at Spa–Francorchamps as an entry in the Invitation class.[12] During the weekend he finished all three races, taking a best result of 13th place in the sprint event.

GP2 Series

Berthon made his debut in the GP2 Asia Series in 2011, partnering Spaniard Dani Clos at the Racing Engineering team.[13] He failed to score a point in the four races he contested and was classified in 23rd place in the championship.[14]
