Fourmaux has a raw speed and personality, plus French federation, market and Red Bull behind him. If I were team manager, I would stick to him - he seems to have what it needs. Many years ago, there were Pirelli Star drive Competition - you know, Tanak and Paddon came out of it in 2009. There was a guy named Ari Vattanen who was involved at certain level and he said one very important matter - raw, natural speed matters the most. Therefore Tanak won. And those who are familiar with Tanaks drive on early carrier, knows how many Pirelli's Evos and later cars he "scratched"...but the speed matters. FIA championships are packed today with good drivers, but just few have that raw, extra speed.

Rally always had an endurance element. And I remember the (mainly Scandinavian) drivers moaning about long days, night stages, lack of sleep and it being dangerous way back in the 80's on the RAC...
