Press release, 7 March 2025 – The 2025 season is off to a flying start for R-ace GP and its F4 team. Having just returned from the Middle East with the double title of Team and Driver Champion, as well as the title of Driver Runner-Up, it\u2019s time to reflect on the season. And with 22 podium finishes, including 11 victories, R-ace GP Team Principal Thibaut de M\u00e9rindol could not have hoped for a better result for his team.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018\u2018The level of performance and the results achieved<\/a> have been more than satisfying,\u2019\u2018 explains Thibaut de M\u00e9rindol, Team Principal of R-ace GP. \u2018\u2018The in-depth work we began in 2024, and the efforts made over the past year to get this team up and running again, especially with the involvement of Cyril Comte [R-ace GP\u2019s Technical Director], have paid off.\u2019\u2018 The team\u2019s technical and operational progress has been rewarded this year with three titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drivers who live up to expectations<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u2018\u2018Emanuele [Olivieri] and Alex [Powell] are excellent drivers who have done what was expected of them, which is to take on the role of co-leaders of the team,\u2019\u2018 he adds. \u2018\u2018We saw their potential last season, and we were convinced that such a pairing of drivers would make a major contribution to raising our team to the highest level. That\u2019s why I\u2019d like to thank them and their management for the confidence they have shown in us by joining our team.\u2019\u2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018\u2018On several occasions, Oleksandr [Savinkov] has shown real potential. But there\u2019s still work to be done to master and maintain his level of performance,\u2019\u2018 continued the R-ace GP director. \u2018\u2018As for Emily [Cotty], she has made good linear and continuous progress. Given her lack of experience, the starting point is really satisfying, especially for a rookie,\u2019\u2018 he concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
