FFSA F4 Champion Alexandre Munoz takes stock: “Difficult times motivated me”

Quick to state that he would approach Race 3 with confidence, Alexandre Munoz couldn't help but want to perform despite everything. Managing to quickly emerge in the lead, the Gers native then had to manage a position he hadn't held for several months. Leading the pack, the rider had made it a point of honor to finish the season with a flourish.

“The race was much calmer! I was on used tires so I knew I had a small advantage at the start because the conditions were complicated, it was very cold, he explained as he left the podium. I tried to make the most of it, which is what I did from the first lap where I came out second after starting fourth. After the first safety car, I managed to make a nice pass on Rintaro. (Sato. Ed.) to take the lead. Then I managed to widen the gap. Little by little, those who had chosen new tires caught up, but as I didn't make any mistakes, it wasn't enough for Arthur who was behind. It was a great race, in the end it's victory, it feels good to finish like that."

Munoz thinks about the future

Taking the opportunity to take stock of this year spent on the circuits of France and Belgium, the 2025 French champion does not hesitate to already look ahead to the approaching 2026 season. “This season, I really learned a lot. The difficult moments motivated me, he confided to us. I think this season will serve me well in the higher categories. Already in championship management, this is the first time I've fought for a title. I'll have to continue in the coming years, but there are some good things to remember."
