Nathanaël Berthon began his international karting career in 2006, with the highlights being a third place finish in the Copa Campeones Troph 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.

In 2008, Nathanaël moved up to single-seaters, taking part in both the Formula Renault 2.0 West European Cup and the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 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 his best race result was a 12th place at the Nürburgring meeting. 

Nathanaël stayed in both series for the 2009 season, this time racing for the Spanish Epsilon Euskadi team.  He won his first Eurocup race at the opening round in Barcelona and followed that up with a further podium at the Hungaroring to finish sixth in the standings.

In the West European Cup, Nathanaël took a victory at Spa-Francorchamps along with six other podium finishes to finish third in championship.  He was also crowned French Formula Renault 2.0 Champion, a result that earned him a Formula Renault 3.5 Series test with the Tech 1 team.

In 2010 he drove in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series for the recently–crowned champions Draco Racing and finished seventh.  He also raced at the Spa round of the British Formula 3 Championship, finishing 13^th.

Returning to the series in 2011, Nathanaël finished the year 13^th on points.  He also raced in the GP2 Asia Series last year.
