Championships are won in the first half of the season, not just the second half,

I couldn't do anything more. Alonso keeps finishing second, so we just need to do the best we can. You never know what might happen in these races.

As I have said on a number of occasions this season already when asked about the rumors, I am completely happy with my team.

I didn't feel as fit in the second half of the season as I did in the first half,

To join the list of names that have won championships and the Indy 500 in the same season would be pretty special, ... Those are all people I respect immensely. To be listed in the same category as them is a nice feeling.

It's been such a down couple years for a team that's won many championships. This team is not used to being in the back of the field.
