“This season is extremely important for me and it is both moving and motivating that M-Sport renews its confidence in me, but also that Red Bull comes to support me, admits Fourmaux.

My 2021 season started well with a second place in WRC2 at the Monte-Carlo Rally. Now the aim is to be in contention for another good result at this weekend's Arctic Rally Finland.

I am also looking forward to preparing for my WRC debut at the new Croatian Rally and intend for this to be the first step in a long career at the highest level of world rallying. »

For Team Principal Richard Millener, Red Bull was able to detect in the young French driver, “the same performance Ogier-esque. » A great mark of recognition addressed to rally hopefuls.

And according to Malcolm Wilson, founder of M-Sport, this return of the red bull to Dovenby Hall after the Sébastien Ogier years (2017-2018), is an important step for the future.

“This is the first step in a concerted effort to address the new regulations, underlines the English boss. A lot of our resources are dedicated to ensuring we have the best possible package heading into 2022, and having Red Bull with us this year is a huge advantage for the team.

Not only do they believe we have a future star in our ranks, but they also trust our world-class designers and engineers to develop another car that can aim for rally victory. »
