I mean, if you did think that.

But I think there's a pretty significant transformation here.

Yeah, I did it first because there was a lot of arrogance in the team, given the unbelievable history.

And we were new with Honda.

Yeah.

and Honda was really struggling, and so I came in with the belief that I think the team believed and led everyone to believe, which is, we're great.

This is all on Honda.

And that was not the case.

You know, Honda definitely had their challenges, but when we replaced Honda...

And we put another engine in, Renault, while we took a step forward.

We went from being our worst year ever when I joined ninth.

We hopped up to an all-great sixth.

And it was like, okay, Honda might be responsible from ninth to sixth, but who's responsible from sixth to first?

That's on us.

So that's when I realized, wow, we're not as good as we think we are today.

Yeah.

We had record low sponsorship, less than 50 million.

Today, we're up over close to 500 million.

We were ninth in the championship, a team that has been the second most successful team in the history of the sport.

We had our worst year.
