He fared best in the latter, grabbing an unexpected second place in the season finale at Jerez. Latifi committed to a full season of Formula Renault 3.5 with Arden the following year, but failed to reach the rostrum all season. He also made another seven GP2 starts with MP, and switched to the F1-supporting category full-time for 2016. His season with DAMS began well – Latifi chased winner Norman Nato home at the Circuit de Catalunya – but he added just five points to his tally over the balance of the season, and ended the year 16th. His second full season in the category, now called Formula 2, was more promising.
