Marco Andretti on why the Honda teams were struggling, Barber, April 27th 2015

Will Power on aerokits, motorsport.com, May 4th 2016
Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it

Will he get through? Where is he? Where is he? There he is!

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!
