For Sergio Sette Camara, his Abu Dhabi Formula 2 feature-race win signified everything the young McLaren test and development driver's season should have been.
For DAMS, it meant the most emotional of triumphs as the Brazilian's victory sealed the teams' title just a few months on from the death of the squad's founder Jean-Paul Driot.
The DAMS drivers - 2020 Williams Formula 1 signing Nicholas Latifi in the other car - have carried stickers commemorating Driot ever since, and the squad could easily have suffered a slump in form or even capitulated. But its strong final quarter of the year proved everything Driot stood for: put good people in the right places and the results will come.
