I\u2019m looking forward to building on that this year, and I think that if we can hit the ground running, we have a car that can be good enough to get more wins.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My personal goal is a top five finish in the championship, but overall, I want to really enjoy the environment in the team. I love all of the people in this team, and I\u2019m really looking forward to this season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cContinuing our relationship with Dan for Season 12 was the easiest decision we\u2019ve had to make as a team,&#8221; adds Russell O\u2019Hagan, Chief Operating Officer, CUPRA KIRO.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Since joining us in 2021, we\u2019ve been very fortunate to watch him grow and transform into one of Formula E\u2019s most gifted drivers. From securing his first victory in Jakarta to taking pole in London, Dan\u2019s performances last season proved what we\u2019ve always believed: that he has the makings of a World Champion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He has the drive, the instinct, and the pure talent to be the best, and we\u2019re very proud, and very excited to continue our journey together in Season 12.
