"We signed up the Mercedes package way in advance, we started designing the 2014 car early, we dedicated the wind tunnel to the development of the 2014 car back in May. [That was] a lot earlier than we would normally have done and that's probably one of the reasons why we fell off in 2013 after the tyre change; because we didn't have the wind tunnel and other resources to try and fix that problem.
"Nevertheless, now with an optimistic design team, a hungry driver line-up, there's no reason why we should not be fighting with the big boys."
