Hi, friends!
My rally colleague @driipam wrote today about French rally star Adrien Fourmaux signing for Hyundai in a one year deal after being with M-Sport for years.
Current team M-Sport Ford helped him tremendously wjth giving him drive even in times when things didn't go good and when he was crashing cars more then it was expected from him.
Yeah, shunts are normal in motorsport and it is a part of development of every rally driver. But that season 2022 was really awful for Fourmaux. During the season he was departed to WRC2 squad and later demoted to British national Championship as well.
But he came back stronger and this year he achieved five podiums and many other great things.
Guys from Hyundai saw his progress and offered him a one year contract on a full season base.
The question is: did he betray M-Sport Ford team with leaving for Hyundai?
He probably did that but in a professional world, there is not much of a friendship
He wanted a better car which will give him chance of fighting for a Championship.
So, the answer is probably yes, but he did that by thinking on himself and better results in first place.

I wouldn't say betrayal - but sure a slap in the face of Malcolm and the Ford crew.....
Probably...
I don’t think it’s betrayal because M-Spory thinks of themselves too😆. Each for their own
Agree :)
