Enzo Ferrari

“The era of gentleman racing drivers is ended.”

“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.”

“But each time I seemed to be climbing into a roller coaster and finding myself coming through the downhill run with that sort of dazed feeling that we all know.”

“One must keep working continuously; otherwise, one thinks of death.”

“Racing is a great mania to which one must sacrifice everything, without reticence, without hesitation.”

“Racing amuses me.”

“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.”

“I believe most things can be said in a few lines.”

“It's true that I have never met any man whom I thought altogether resembled me - but only because my faults are so enormous.”

“I build engines and attach wheels to them.”

“Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines.”

“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.”

“The client is not always right.”
