Wilson confident of Coyne's potential

Having lost his Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing drive due to the team's need for sponsorship, the IndyCar and Champ Car race-winner is testing with Dale Coyne's small squad at Homestead this week.

"Obviously, we're looking forward to joining Dale Coyne Racing for this test and hopefully for the season," he said. "We're still working on finalising things."

The 30-year-old Briton insisted he was not concerned by Coyne's relative lack of resources and thinks the team will be boosted by the arrival of ex-Ganassi engineer Bill Pappas.

"I'm excited to be working with a great engineer in Bill Pappas," Wilson said. "We feel that we can do a lot with a little provided everything goes ahead."

Wilson was only 19th fastest on the first evening of testing, but said he had been concentrating on acclimatising to the Coyne team rather than chasing lap times.

"The main thing is take it easy, one step at a time," he said. "There are no prizes for the test. We'll build up to speed, work on our car and take it from there. It's more getting to know each other than proving ourselves right now."
