editFormula 4 (2024-2025)
editMunoz stepped up to formula racing in 2024, competing in the French F4 Championship.[2] He was the youngest driver in the field – he had to miss the opening round as it took place before his fifteenth birthday. After steady improvement during the season,[3] he took his maiden race win in the final round at Le Castellet during the reverse-grid race, which he started from pole.[4][5]
Munoz continued to compete in French F4 in 2025,[6] with mentorship from FRECA driver Enzo Peugeot.[7] He started strong in the competitive field, winning two races in the opening weekend at Nogaro.[8][9] In Dijon-Prenois he repeated this feat, along with claiming both pole positions and all three fastest laps.[10][11] Munoz became the first driver to win the first four non-reverse-grid races in modern French F4.[12] Spa saw an end to his streak, with a best result of third place along with his first retirement of the season in race 3 following contact with title rival Jules Roussel.[13][14] In the following round at Magny-Cours, Munoz once again finished race one on the podium as he held onto the points lead despite finishing no higher than fourth in the other two races.[15][16] Munoz then retired in race one at Lédenon after contact with Louis Iglesias,[17] before finishing second in the other two races behind Guillaume Bouzar and Rintaro Sato.[18] In the season-ending round at Le Mans, Munoz finished sixth and fifth in the first two races to clinch the title,[19] and then taking his fifth and final win of the season in race three.[20] At the end of the year, Munoz raced in the FIA F4 World Cup, in which he retired from the main race due to a technical issue.[21]
Formula Regional (2026)
editThe following year, Munoz joined ART Grand Prix to compete in the Formula Regional European Championship.[22]
