Coolest racing quote?

[xpensive]

"To a great extent"

Nico's dad when asked if Williams' development work in 1983 was limited to guesswork.

[Tim.Wright]

Heres a good one from this year from an official ferrari Q&A;

Trying not to get killed by a bull on a consistent basis i would call a sport. .

I take it you watched the Legends of F1?

I advise anyone to see the latest episode with Mika, it´s really brilliant hearing him talk about everything, including Senna.

[Helios]

Michael Schumacher being interviewed in a pre-season-talkshow with the BBC on a car accident he has been involved in a few days before the start of the 1998 season:

M. Brundle: Michael, what exactly happened?

Schumacher: The taxi driver I've crashed into irritated me because he looked like Damon Hill... and the blonde lady at the back looked like Jacques Villeneuve.

"I didn't see it"

Carlos Reutemann when xplaining why he didn't slow down to let Alan Jones pass to win the 1981 Brazilian GP,
despite intensive signaling from the Williams pit to do so.

I guess it's not really a racing quote, but it's something I related to when he said it.

"There's always a lot of talk about motivation, but nobody really knows what I do or what I think apart from myself, so I don't really care what people say."
Kimi Raikkonen, when he joined Lotus F1 Team after two years of absence from Formula 1.

[Websta]

Not sure if it has been mentioned here yet, but anyway: when testing a 'suspensionless' Williams in 1980, Alan Jones complained about the uncomfortable ride. Frank Williams suggested "you could sit on your wallet, Alan," to which he replied "then give me something to put in it."

"Right, in the back of your skull mate!"

Alan Jones, after Carlos Reutemann had suggested they should bury the hatchet.

[sandokan83]

Wasn´t a driver who said this but one of the best quotes i have ever heard was: " the rails deviate when Senna is racing"

Coulthard is funny as hell

=D> Great timing.

Some funny ones from Kubica:

- (team) Why are you in the pits?
- (RK) Because I crashed.

- obscure one but I find it funny, free practice, Massa crashed after running over oil from blown engine, they cleaned the track, team wanted to go out for a couple of laps, RK began explaining that it's a bad idea starting with:
- You don't understand Tony... [To his race engineer ]

- (After Montreal) - Did you watch your crash? - Yes, I was in it.
