If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

The only thing that happens if you wait, is that you get older.

You dream what you're supposed to do

But really - look at the span of my career, and it's something people dream about. And to be spared major injury: I had some moments along the way, but being able to retire on my own terms after having driven during those decades when safety conditions were more precarious than today - am I lucky, or  what?

Motor racing is like one big family, ultimately, and when you come back to it, that's really what it feels like.

Speed is relative. You have to live it. You can't just jump into it. You have to live it all the time.

From the driver's standpoint I had the same horrors, the same satisfactions, the same everything. The speed is relative. It's faster and things are happening quicker, but you have the equipment to handle it.
