The native of Seclin (North) becomes the 31st Frenchman to climb on the podium since the creation of the WRC in 1973. He joins Francis Vincent, Patrice Servant, Jean-François Piot, Pierre-Louis Moreau, Jean-Pierre Manzagol, Alain Coppier , Bernard Consten, Jean-Pierre Ballet and Bryan Bouffier among the French with a WRC podium. However, he is the 3rd Frenchman in history to achieve a podium on the Swedish Rally, after Sébastien Loeb (5 podiums including 1 victory) and Sébastien Ogier (4 podiums including 3 victories).

Since the launch of the Rally1 era, in 2022, Adrien Fourmaux is the 11th driver to achieve a podium in the premier category and the 3rd Frenchman to finish on the box after Sébastien Loeb (1 victory) and Sébastien Ogier (4 victories, 8 podiums).

After Bryan Bouffier in 2014, Sébastien Ogier between 2017-2018 and Sébastien Loeb in 2022, Adrien Fourmaux became the 4th Frenchman to finish on the podium with M-Sport since 2006 and the takeover of the Ford program by the private British team.

That is 10 years and 30 days: this is the date from which the last trace of a Frenchman other than Sébastien Loeb or Sébastien Ogier on a WRC podium dates back. It was Bryan Bouffier aboard a private Ford Fiesta during the 2014 Monte-Carlo Rally (2nd place).

28 years, 9 months and 15 days

Finally, Adrien Fourmaux scored his first WRC podium at the age of 28 years, 9 months and 15 days. For comparison, Sébastien Ogier gleaned his first podium at 25 years, 5 months and 28 days (2009 Acropolis Rally), while Sébastien Loeb climbed onto the box for the first time at 27 years, 10 months and 22 days (2002 Monte-Carlo Rally).
