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!
Tony Kanaan on Will Power, Toronto, July 2011

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
Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.

Tony Kanaan, May 2007
Some of the drivers who don't want to do the Indy 500, they just have small balls. I think that's the only explanation.

Josef Newgarden on The Indy 500, June 2023, via Twitter
I can't control what size I am and how I'm built. All I know is the NBA doesn't lower the hoop for short guys.

Ryan Hunter-Reay on the dangers of racing an IndyCar, Pocono, August 23rd 2015

Dario Franchitti, Homestead 2009
I arrived in Turn 1 and I was convinced that I was doing flat out, but the foot was not flat - it had its own life, it was not connected to my brain at that moment.
Fernando Alonso on Turn 1 commitment at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 3rd 2017
Again, I was scared to death. I had zero grip, and I was lifting at the start/finish line going into one. It's embarrassing.

Fernando Alonso on what his mother would think about the Indy 500, motor.as.com, April 20th 2016
We'd love to see Buddy Rice in a car and in the Indy 500, but as best we can tell, no driver has ever qualified for the Indy 500 from their couch.

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

For a moment, all is right with the world - Danica Patrick is leading the Indianapolis 500.
