    Ed Carpenter on finally winning his first race, Kansas, October 2011

  • F1 is for sissies, this is proper racing, you can quote me on that!

    Dan Wheldon

  • Some of the drivers roll out this 'safety' word, and suddenly it ties everybody's hands. But those arguments make no sense anyway. Remove downforce and you actually improve safety

    Rick Mears on downforce, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015

  • I am a connoisseur of information!

    Conor Daly on silly season rumours, Trackside, September 13th 2016

    Mario Andretti on Andy Granatelli after the 1969 Indianapolis 500

  • I was frustrated since Motegi and wanted to prove a point. When you're in a competitive package, you can't let points slip. I can eat breakfast tomorrow morning now instead of stabbing my fork into the table.

  • Fernando Alonso on the difference between an IndyCar and an F1 car, May 3rd 2017

  • ...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.

    Curt Cavin with a new twist on an old saying, GP of Baltimore 2013
