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

Dan Wheldon on Iowa Speedway, June 2009
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!
