“Our aim is to go one better in 2006; to win the title. We have the cars, team and people to do it. It will all depend on the improvements made to the cars because we were just as hopeful and keen last year. As it didn’t happen then, it has to this year.

Logically, it hinges on a lot of factors, including the fact that the first and second races are now separated by a longer break, allowing for testing, and this is something we must take advantage of. If things pan out like that, I hope to continue working for the team as I always have, although of course I would love to be the SEAT driver who is fighting for the World Championship.”
