Despite this, he said, the team ‘only won race all season’ and ‘never made a Final’.
“I feel like there’s going to be a lot of pressure coming on that team really quickly,” he said. “I do think the team has made all the right moves, but how do you make that jump to challenging at the front of the fleet?”
Darmanin complimented the team’s starting ability in the latter stages of Season 4. “When they got it right, it was so good and it’s so hard to do – even the best teams get it wrong some times.” And looking ahead, she was optimistic about the team’s chances in the upcoming season. “They’re very humble and open minded, so I think we’ll see them mix it with the teams.’
