I'm just so f***ing disappointed!

The wall came too close and too quickly.

It looks so easy when you watch it on TV, but it's not.

When you go home and you're slow, there's nothing you can do. But when you go home under these conditions it's kind of tough.

I have learned more in one week here than I did in my entire Formula One career.

I'm a moving chicane out here!

Who is the buff guy in blue with the big #Schnozolla?

I'm throwing this one out to Dan. This is his hometown, this is his car.

James Hinchcliffe after his first career victory, St. Petersburg, March 24th 2013

I keep getting asked by Europeans, drivers also, if racing around IMS was boring an' easy. I just want to shake my head and walk away.

Connor Daly, June 6th 2013, via Twitter

I kind of have half an idea of what it means to win this race now. I couldn't be happier.

Brad Pitt got a super license before me. Tough.

Colton Herta on Brad Pitt joining the F1 grid to film a movie, Twitter, May 4th 2023

As a past driver, I'd answer the phone if Roger or Chip called...

Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005

I can hardly believe it. Who would have thought it?!

I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!

Roger Penske on his older two drivers, motorsport.com, March 22nd 2016
