Why tough love has allowed Fourmaux to reach new WRC heights
Adrien Fourmaux has been impressing in the 2024 World Rally Championship season, currently sitting in third place in the championship standings. He has achieved back-to-back podium finishes in Sweden and Kenya, following up a maiden podium with another top-three finish. Fourmaux’s improvement this season has been remarkable, already surpassing his total points from 2022 by 31 after just three rounds. M-Sport’s strategy of stepping back to move forward seems to have paid off for Fourmaux, who is now excelling in his Rally1 return. M-Sport boss Malcolm Wilson expressed surprise at the team’s success but praised Fourmaux’s smart driving. The team’s approach of developing young talent has been successful in the past, as seen with drivers like Elfyn Evans and Ott Tanak.
