In an interview with the Associated Press, Armstrong claimed that Cullen has brought wisdom with her from Hamilton’s championship-winning years, which has clearly had an impact on his IndyCar results.

“We’re still finding our feet. We’re still getting that foundation set. But ultimately we want to build a routine and a work ethic that is sustainable to where we can challenge for race wins and championships for years on end,” Armstrong said.

“To also have the reassurance from her that she’s obviously seen championships won before, that this is the right way to go about it — we’re on a journey.”
