Autumnpuma 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2006 Some are drivers, some are not, but all are real good (various sources) "If Chris Amon were an undertaker, people would stop dying..." - Mario Andretti on Chris Amon (and Amon's notorious "luck" in F1). "If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari." - Gilles Villeneuve "As soon as I took one breath, I had that bloody red Sh#tbox all over my mirrors!" - Alan Jones talking about Gilles Villeneuve. "Aerodynamics is for those who cannot manufacture good engines" - Enzo Ferrari Sir Jackie Stewart: Where do you brake for the esses? David Purley: What do you mean, brake? Chris Economaki took Jackie Stewart to a dirt track sprint car race near Riverside Speedway when they were commentating together right after Jackie'd retired. They got there while the cars were practicing and Jackie's mouth was just hanging open. Later they're wandering through the pits and a mechanic says, "Jackie, my driver's sick do you wanna try this thing out?" Jackie: "Forgot me helmet." Mechanic: "We'll find you a helmet." Jackie: "Forgot me balls too!!!" "Auto racing, bull fighting, and mountain climbing are the only real sports ... all others are games." - Earnest Hemingway "The lead car is absolutely unique, except for the one behind it which is identical" - Murray Walker "... the lead is now 6.9 seconds. In fact it's just under 7 seconds." - Murray Walker "And now, excuse me while I interrupt myself." - Murray Walker "With two laps to go then the action will begin, unless this is the action, which it is." - Murray Walker "To finish first, you must first finish." - Rick Mears Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because it makes me 15 centimetres taller!" - Alain Prost The warm-up to the 1990 Mexican Grand Prix in Mexico City had to be stopped because of a big black dog on the track. "The dog was behaving better than many drivers when being overtaken. Besides that, it was very fast!" - Alain Prost "The difference between me and Senna is, to BELIEVE in god or to think YOU ARE god..." - Alain Prost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that still around though? I know McLaren used it when testing this winter, but is it actually on some cars? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stopkidding 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2006 At a given day and a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit, and you touch the limit, and you think "okay, this is the limit". As soon as you touch this limit, something happens in you so that you can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct and your experience as well, you can fly very high. - Ayrton Senna Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
