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.

The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.

Fernando Alonso on what his mother would think about the Indy 500, motor.as.com, April 20th 2016
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.
