Actually, I have to ask you: What's the weather going to be like tomorrow? |
All the drivers know the risks and the dangers, but we're here because we love what we do. It's not the first time it's happened and, unfortunately, it probably won't be the last time. |
Being patient, and backing off. A race is not won on the first lap. A car changes during a race. |
Close to the end, when I saw Sam coming, I tried to make a move. I tried to take advantage of the momentum, put me side by side with Dan. But it just was not enough. If we would be like NASCAR and have bumpers, I'm sure we would have won the race by now. |
Eighty-percent driver, I think the last 20 percent is the team, or 30 percent because of pit stops. |
Even when I was in the lead, I was getting too close to the wall, trying to make up time. I drove like I stole it. |
Every time you go out on the track, which is very technical and unique, you learn something different. This place, if you keep practicing, keep running and learning every corner, you'll be consistently fast. |
Every time you're out there at this place, you're always learning. Obviously, we want to be on top of the charts, but right now you need to be smart, take advantage of this day and put it in your pocket. |
Everybody has a destiny. That's the only thing I would tell him. He's there for a reason. He should just do the job he was hired to do. |
Everything is going the way we are planning but until the checkered flag, you can't count on it. Today, we are extremely happy. That's what we need to be thinking about and enjoy this moment. |
He had a great car. I don't know what he was thinking. |
Hey Rusty. It's not Hee-lee-oh! It's E-lee-oh! |
Hopefully the 2 mph advantage we have on the speed chart continues the same way in the race. |
I always like racing in Japan and I'm looking forward to (today's) race. |
I can't believe it. I actually thought I had won the race. I tried very hard. Based on previous races with Dan, there was no way I was going to give him much room, but he beat me anyway. I guess it was not meant to be. |
