Do you have any ambitions outside racing? My main ambition at the moment, whether inside or outside racing, is to become Formula 1 World Champion.
Kimi Raikkonen

Everything one does in life, even love, occurs in an express train racing toward death. To smoke opium is to get out of the train while it is still moving. It is to concern oneself with something other than life or death.
Jean Cocteau

Experience has taught me how important it is to just keep going, focusing on running fast and relaxed. Eventually it passes and the flow returns. It's part of racing.
Frank Shorter

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.
Dale Earnhardt

Fitness will be a major factor in the first race and I think that will play into the hands of drivers who have been racing recently, rather than people like me who haven't raced properly for a decade. I'am not one of the favourites to start with.
Nigel Mansell

From today I am no longer a racing driver. I'm retired and I am very happy.
Jackie Stewart

Gary Smith, when I came to America, taught me a great deal about racing.
Emerson Fittipaldi

Going to car racing school was phenomenal.
Michelle Rodriguez

Horse racing is animated roulette.
Roger Kahn

I am very happy because motor racing is very important outside the states, very big all over the world.
Emerson Fittipaldi

I don't sleep much. I'm on the go. My mind is racing. My wife says my mind is like the rolling dials on a slot machine. So, yeah, I think about everything.
Bill Walton

I drove long distances like the 24 hours of Le Mans for years. But even this racing is now over. I retired.
Jacky Ickx

I enjoy Saturday night racing.
Dale Earnhardt

I feel that after all those horrible reviews and jokes, I wasn't crazy all these years to stand up for the music I believe in. This album has proven that somewhere in the human race, the human heart is still racing and breaking and I am so grateful.
Barry Manilow

I found my interest lapse in both acting and racing.
Lillie Langtry

I guess everybody saw it. It's a deal where I'd been racing cars a long time and I knew going around the track the fender was on the tire hard.
Sterling Marlin

I guess it is the sense of personal satisfaction that racing gives you that I am probably going to miss, because in racing you get that feedback very quickly.
Bobby Rahal

I have to accept risk as a racing driver.
Emerson Fittipaldi

I know it can be dangerous, but I love racing. I worry my wife, but she knows it's important to me.
Patrick Dempsey

I know that a good many champions have entertained the thought that the more they discourage youngsters, the longer they would reign. However, this theory never impressed me, and I always made it a point to give youths the benefit of my experience in bicycle racing.
