I have yet to meet anyone quite so stubborn as myself and animated by this overpowering passion that leaves me no time for thought or anything else. I have, in fact, no interest in life outside racing cars.
I build engines and attach wheels to them.
The client is not always right.
But each time I seemed to be climbing into a roller coaster and finding myself coming through the downhill run with that sort of dazed feeling that we all know.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The era of gentleman racing drivers is ended.
Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines.
Racing is a great mania to which one must sacrifice everything, without reticence, without hesitation.
The fact is I don't drive just to get from A to B. I enjoy feeling the car's reactions, becoming part of it.
I have never gone on a real trip, never taken a holiday. The best holiday for me is spent in my workshops when nearly everybody else is on vacation.
