Said it a couple weeks ago, and I'll say it again. The elite aren't great because they have great sponsors. They have great sponsors BECAUSE they're great.

There are many teams with big sponsors and budgets significantly larger than 1114/2056 and the rest of the elite, and they don't perform nearly as well, so you never hear about them.

The elite are great because of their great mentors. All of the elites have stellar mentors, and it shows.
