As a driver, you want to race every lap possible, especially when you've got a good car.

In racing, we have a better chance of it happening quicker because we have attracted good people to come to work for us. It's the beginning of a great adventure, and we're looking forward to it.

When you're in a race car, you're going through so many different emotions throughout that race.

A racing driver has to be a good driver.
