Even though they won't finish in the top four this season, they will still be of the contenders next season.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
But so far I have the feeling that the chances are there to repeat last year's season.
I don't expect to see them in the top six but I think of all the teams that have come up in previous seasons, I think Manchester City are the biggest club.
We're trying to put ourselves in the best position to win, period, if not this year, next year.
You're never guaranteed about next year. People ask what you think of next season, you have to seize the opportunities when they're in front of you.
I hate to admit that. I want to win every race, but I know that's not possible. To be in the top 25 is realistic if we have any luck this year. But anything to be in the chase or something like that is very unrealistic.
I count it as a major victory to not only be on a series that's had a full season run, but to actually be on one that's gotten picked up for a second season.
We felt like when we went into last year we had a pretty good chance to win the championship from the previous year with the fall we put together. We've got the same everything now, so I think we can come back and be as strong this year.
To win the Championship in the first year will be hard. We need time to become competitive and win races.
I look forward to another good year next year. It would be nice to win, too.
I had the opportunity to go with some other teams. But I didn't consider those teams to be contenders, and I was right.
