Tom Carnegie
You need to learn how to f***ing count.
Arie Luyendyk, Texas '97
Everyone thinks that running in dirty air causes the front end to wash out, but actually it affects the whole car and you just can't follow someone close in fast or medium-speed corners since the aerokits came in.

Gentlemen... restart your engines!
Tom Carnegie, Indy 2004

Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009
We're all back to square zero!

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

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
