Will Power on testing the Aeroscreen, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, October 2nd 2019
Whatever you heard, somebody made it up. For the first two days, he talked nonsense because he had a concussion. It doesn't matter what he was saying. He doesn't even remember it.
Tony Kanaan on the rumours of Dario Franchitti's retirement after Houston, 2013
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

Romain Grosjean on his rookie season, Laguna Seca, September 19th 2021

You won't believe it!
Tom Carnegie
