You also realize that no team on the World Champion alliance last year had any sort of facility to fabricate parts for them like 118 does. There's a plethora of good teams that don't. 118 just happens to one good team that has that kind of sponsorship.

Also, keep in mind: you don't become great because of your sponsors, you become sponsored because of your greatness.
