But I think the team is in a good place in terms of how much weve improved over the last few years and going through the difficulty of the new relationship with Honda last year, [which] was never going to be easy when youve had such a long relationship with another manufacturer. But its grown a lot over the last two years and every department has grown in the right direction and improved.There seems to be a good atmosphere in the team even though were nowhere near where we want to be yet. There is a good feel about the place, thats all I can say on the matter.Dont miss the Mexican GP on Sunday evening.
