Nathanaël Antonin Berthon (born 1 July 1989 in Romagnat) is a French professional racing driver.

Karting

Berthon launched his international karting journey in 2006, securing third place in the Copa Campeones Trophy ICA category and finishing fifth in the Elite division of the French Championship. The following year, he repeated his fifth-place finish in the French Championship Elite, placed eighth in the South Garda Winter Cup KF1, and ended 13th in the KF1 World Cup.

Formula Renault 2.0

In 2008, Berthon progressed to single-seater racing, participating in both the Formula Renault 2.0 West European Cup and Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 with Boutsen Energy Racing. He earned nine points in the West European Cup, concluding the season 18th overall, while his top Eurocup finish was 12th at Nürburgring.

Continuing in both championships in 2009 with Spanish outfit Epsilon Euskadi, Berthon claimed his maiden Eurocup victory at Barcelona following the disqualification of teammate Albert Costa and added a podium finish at Hungaroring, ultimately ranking sixth in the standings. In the West European Cup, he triumphed at Spa-Francorchamps and achieved six additional podiums, ending third behind Jean-Éric Vergne and Costa. Additionally, he captured the French Formula Renault 2.0 title, which was incorporated within the West European Cup schedule.

Formula Renault 3.5 Series

After securing the French Formula Renault 2.0 championship, Berthon tested a Formula Renault 3.5 car with Tech 1 Racing at Motorland Aragón in October 2009. Subsequent testing with reigning champions Draco Racing at Circuit de Catalunya led to his signing for the 2010 season alongside Colombian driver Omar Leal.

During that year, Berthon reached the podium at Motorland Aragón and Brno before achieving his first victory in Formula Renault 3.5 at Magny-Cours, narrowly defeating Daniel Ricciardo of Tech 1 Racing. Another podium finish at Hockenheim contributed to his seventh-place championship result.

In 2011, Berthon returned to the series by joining ISR Racing as a replacement for Dean Stoneman, who was sidelined due to illness. Teaming up with Ricciardo and Lewis Williamson, Berthon’s best performance was a third-place finish, concluding the season ranked 13th overall.

Formula Three

Berthon made his Formula Three debut in July 2010 with ART Grand Prix during the British Formula 3 Championship event at Spa–Francorchamps competing in the Invitation class. He completed all three races with a highest placement of 13th in the sprint race.

GP2 Series

In 2011, Berthon joined Racing Engineering for the GP2 Asia Series, partnering Dani Clos. He did not score points across four races and finished 23rd in the overall standings. He returned for the non-championship finale of that year and competed full-time in the 2012 GP2 Series alongside Fabio Leimer, ending twelfth overall with two runner-up race finishes.

Toyota Racing Series

Prior to starting his full-time GP2 campaign in 2012, Berthon took part in New Zealand’s five-round 2012 Toyota Racing Series driving for M2 Competition, securing seventh place among a competitive field of domestic and international competitors.

Formula One

Berthon experienced his first Formula One test on 16 November 2011 at the Abu Dhabi young drivers' session held at Yas Marina Circuit, where he piloted the HRT F1 Team's F111. During this initial outing, he completed nine laps and recorded a top time of 1:48.646, placing him 13th overall. The following day, Berthon ran alone for 51 laps, covering a distance of 283 kilometers, and improved his standing to 12th with a best lap of 1:45.839. He regarded the opportunity as brief yet beneficial and expressed a desire for additional track time.

Formula E

On 17 October 2015, Berthon joined forces with António Félix da Costa to compete with Team Aguri during the 2015–16 Formula E championship. However, after participating in three rounds, he was succeeded by Salvador Durán and has not returned to race in Formula E since then.
