    James Hinchcliffe via Twitter, December 17th 2015

  • 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

    Dan Wheldon on Danica Patrick, June 2007

    Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011

    Sebastien Bourdais on the flip side of the Coyne, NBCSports.com, November 22nd 2019

    Rick Mears on what's wrong with IndyCar, Motorsport.com, October 28th 2015

  • It takes a lot of guts to expose yourself in front of millions of people, in front of all the media, in front of all your peers.
