While Monte-Carlo (January 23-26) is fast approaching, uncertainty reigned on the M-Sport side. With the English, it has become a tradition. They are always waiting, there is doubt, but finally they are there. If it is not surprising, the announcement of the continuation of the collaboration with Grégoire Munster and Louis Louka brings two good news.
First of all, barring a turnaround, Malcolm Wilson and his structure will be present in 2025 with at least one car. Then, by trusting the Luxembourger again, the team continues its mission after hopes.
« I really enjoyed working with Grégoire and Louis this yearexplains team manager Richard Millener. Finding them in 2025 is therefore very positive for me. They have made huge strides in their first appearance and I think they thoroughly deserve this opportunity. Although we must remain realistic about the goals and expectations we must have in 2025, this is a great opportunity for them. I am very happy to work with this tandem again for a full season. »
Having discovered the Puma in 2023 with two positive participations in Chile (13e) and in Central Europe (7e), the 25-year-old driver was able to compete in the entire 2024 championship at the wheel of the American. Although he made some small mistakes with sometimes serious consequences (Monte-Carlo, Portugal, Acropolis), he also posted interesting times at the end of the year, demonstrating his progress (Japan). Fifth on three occasions during the completed financial year (Sardinia, Central Europe, Japan), the Luxembourger will have higher objectives in the months to come. “ I’m really looking forward to next year and having the opportunity to drive the Puma again and particularly within the efficient M-Sport structure.he says. I am also happy to continue with Louis, with the aim of continuing our progress in the higher category. »
Appearing as M-Sport’s No. 1 driver, Grégoire will be able to benefit from the test sessions and he will have to rely on the experience acquired to aim higher. “ Of course, we will try to improve our best ranking so farhe confirms. I hope we will be able to aim for the podium. I can’t wait to see what we can do. »
While it has not yet been specified with whom Grégoire Munster will collaborate in 2025, he leaves with the same browser. “ I’m very happy to be back in the teamcomments Louis Louka. I hope we will use the experience gained last year to improve. For young crews like us, it is a real privilege to be involved in the full championship and to be able to benefit from the expertise of M-Sport. »
The announcement of Grégoire Munster’s continuation with M-Sport was not really a surprise since both parties wanted to continue the adventure. The latter undoubtedly still owes a lot to the financial intervention of Jourdan Serderidis, who remains discreet about his involvement, but who must be congratulated. The ultimate doubt at M-Sport concerns who will accompany Munster in their 2025 campaign. Will there be just one crew or will there be several to share the 2e car ?
