...Youthful
impetuousness and courage are not enough, nor is the will to succeed. To be a driver means
that one must be part of the machine for hours, hands at the wheel and gear lever, feet on
throttle, clutch, and brake, and eyes on the revolution counter, water, and oil gauge. God
help the man who loses control for even a fraction of a second, or who is mastered by
emotions and thoughts concerning matters other than racing. The machine will kill him
without a doubt...
