M-Sport hails Fourmaux’s WRC Sweden drive as his best yet
Fourmaux has surprised everyone by securing the second position in the challenging snow rally, trailing behind rally leader Esapekka Lappi by 1m06.3s with one day left. Despite a close battle with Toyota’s Elfyn Evans, the 28-year-old displayed remarkable pace and consistency on Saturday. He narrowly escaped a mishap with a snowbank on the final stage, the only hiccup in an otherwise flawless 15-stage performance. Fourmaux’s current position guarantees 15 points if he maintains it until the end of the rally tomorrow, including securing a fourth WRC stage win. M-Sport Ford team manager Wilson praised Fourmaux’s unexpected success and consistency, especially against top competitors like Evans and Neuville. Fourmaux’s impressive performance in Rally Sweden, only his second in Rally1 machinery, reflects his growing experience and potential in the WRC.
