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 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.
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.
Racing is a great mania to which one must sacrifice everything, without reticence, without hesitation.
Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines.
The era of gentleman racing drivers is ended.
