In addition to the great team we have already, there are some good new people coming on board and I have confidence that we will make progress now.
"Jenson and I have a great relationship together as team-mates and stability will be key as we look forward to the challenge of 2008," he added. "For now though, we have eight races remaining and that is where our focus lies."
