Career

Beginning his motorsport journey in karting in 1995, Müller achieved third place in the BMW Formula Junior series while driving for Abt Sportsline. The following year, he secured the title in the Formula Renault Germany championship. In 1997, he progressed to Formula Three, finishing third overall in the German Formula Three Championship.

In 1998, Müller participated in International Formula 3000 as a BMW Junior with the Oreca team, ending the season 20th in the standings. The next year, he competed in the French Formula Three Championship, where he placed seventh. He then returned to German F3 in 2000, finishing second behind Giorgio Pantano while driving for Team Ghinzani. In 2001, Müller took third place in the Euro 3000 series, trailing only Felipe Massa and Thomas Biagi. He made a comeback to International F3000 in 2002, racing nine events with both Durango and European Minardi teams but did not score points.

Early in 2003, Müller tested with IndyCar’s PDM Racing and entered two short-track races in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, finishing 26th at Indianapolis Raceway Park and 25th at Martinsville Speedway.

After failing to secure sponsorship for further NASCAR or IndyCar drives, Müller returned to Europe in 2004. He was slated to compete with Taurus Sports at the inaugural round of the new Le Mans Series, but his car did not start. Later that year, he raced in the 2004 Spa 24 Hours with JMB Racing, finishing in 16th place.

In 2005, Müller contested the Italian Formula Three Championship with Team Ghinzani, finishing as runner-up to Luigi Ferrara, despite a points deduction due to a technical infringement.

Following a break during 2006, he returned to the Spa 24 Hours event driving a Maserati MC12 for Scuderia Playteam Sarafree and finished 18th.

In 2008, Müller joined Jetalliance Racing full-time for the FIA GT Championship, piloting an Aston Martin DBR9 alongside team owner Lukas Lichtner-Hoyer. He earned pole position at Monza but did not complete that race; however, the team achieved a second-place finish at Oschersleben.

For the 2009 season, Müller signed with Vitaphone Racing Team, sharing a Maserati MC12 with Miguel Ramos. Together they finished eighth overall and recorded three pole positions, aiding Vitaphone in securing the teams’ championship title. Additionally, Müller attained third place in GT1 at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans with Jetalliance Racing and claimed class pole position.

In 2010, Müller competed in the newly established FIA GT1 World Championship. Initially, he drove a Corvette C6.R for Mad-Croc Racing alongside Xavier Maassen before being replaced by Nicolas Armindo. Subsequently, he joined Triple H Team Hegersport at Spa-Francorchamps and remained with them for the remainder of the season.
