I'm not too sure about this, it will be like Grubmuller. You have one "impressive" year thanks to a huge budget and despite this nobody rates you. GP2 struggles massively even now, 2 teams left the series in the last year, a third of the grid is hopeless... current budgets are right on the maximum.
