Nathanaël Antonin Berthon (born 1 July 1989[1] inRomagnat) is a professionalracing driver fromFrance.
Berthon began his internationalkarting career in 2006, with the highlights being a third-place finish in the Copa Campeones TrophyICA 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 CupKF1 and 13th in the World Cup KF1 categories.
In2008, Berthon moved up tosingle–seaters, taking part in both theFormula Renault 2.0 West European Cup andEurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series forBoutsen 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 12th place at theNürburgring meeting.
2009 saw Berthon remain in both series for a second season, this time racing for theSpanish teamEpsilon Euskadi. He won his first Eurocup race at the opening round inBarcelona after teammateAlbert Costa was disqualified for a technical infringement.[2] He followed that up with a further podium at theHungaroring to finish sixth in the standings.[3]
In the West European Cup, Berthon took a victory atSpa–Francorchamps along with six other podium finishes to finish third in the championship, behindJean-Éric Vergne and champion Costa.[4] He was also crowned asFrench Formula Renault 2.0 champion, with the series being run as part of the West European Cup season.[5]
In October 2009, Berthon sampled aFormula Renault 3.5 Series car for the first time, testing forTech 1 Racing atMotorland Aragón in Spain as a reward for winning the French Formula Renault 2.0 title.[6] He drove for the recently–crowned championsDraco 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 the2010 season.[7] He was joined at the team byColombian driverOmar Leal.[8]
After finishing on the podium at the season–opener inMotorland Aragón and again atBrno, Berthon secured his first Formula Renault 3.5 Series win on home soil atMagny–Cours, holding off a stiff challenge fromTech 1 Racing'sDaniel Ricciardo.[9] He followed that up with another podium finish atHockenheim to be classified in seventh place in the championship standings.[10]
Berthon returned to the series in2011, replacingDean Stoneman atISR Racing after theBriton was forced to pull out of the championship due to illness.[11] Partnered variously by Ricciardo andLewis Williamson, he took a first finish of third place to finish 13th overall in the drivers' championship.
In July 2010, Berthon made hisFormula Three debut, racing for theART Grand Prix team in theBritish Formula 3 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.

Berthon made his debut in theGP2 Asia Series in2011, partnering SpaniardDani Clos at theRacing 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] He returned to themain GP2 Series, again with Racing Engineering, for thenon-championship race that concluded the2011 season, and raced full-time for the team in2012, alongsideFabio Leimer, eventually finishing 12th overall with a best race finish of second on two occasions.
In the winter of 2012 prior to the start of the GP2 season, Berthon travelled to New Zealand to compete in the five-roundToyota Racing Series in a grid which featured a mix of local and foreign drivers. As one of five drivers for theM2 Competition team, he finished seventh in the championship.
On 16 November 2011, Berthon had his first experience of driving aFormula One car. At the Abu Dhabi young drivers' test at theYas Marina Circuit, he drove theHRT F1 Team'sF111 for nine laps. He set a best time of 1:48.646, which left him 13th fastest.[15] The following day, Berthon had the whole day to himself with the car, completing 51 laps (283 kilometres (176 mi)) and finished the day in 12th position with a best time of 1:45.839.[16] Berthon described the day by saying:"Today was a great experience but it felt like it was too short. I would like to spend some more time in the car but, as a first step, it was very good".[16]
On 17 October 2015, it was announced that Berthon would partnerAntónio Félix da Costa atTeam Aguri for the2015–16 season. Berthon was replaced bySalvador Durán after three races;[17] he has not raced in Formula E since.
