No way. That's the best part about our cars, no power steering, high aero, get it done.

I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.

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

Rick Mears is a great race car driver. Hopefully I have plenty of years to try to earn his respect again.
Tony Kanaan, Detroit 2007
They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.

Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016

This is just an excellent race and to be a part of the history, I'm really grateful for that.

NASCAR has nothing on us. Look at the crowd at Indy – that's three Daytona 500s all in one place.

Michael Andretti on aerokits, Autosport.com, 15th April 2016
When Will was going off on Versus, I was cracking up. I was like, man, I didn't know you could talk like that! And I never knew you could say 'wanker' on TV, but that's my new word for now on... so I guess something good did come out of Toronto!
