With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.
Helio Castroneves, June 2009
I'm tired of being nice about it. The fact is, grip created by aerodynamic downforce is our enemy... At the moment, the downforce is so great that it masks the handling and hurts the racing
Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015
It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.

Fernando Alonso on Turn 1 commitment at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
