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

You have to visualize a second or two ahead of your car what line you are taking, what you are going to do, before you get there because it comes too fast.

You are going in one second the length of a football field. That means you brain is receiving information from your body what the car is doing physically, bumping, balance, performance.

I have to accept risk as a racing driver.

I think with new president Chris Pook of CART, he is very active and strong.

I wanted to be the best in the world.

The racing driver’s mind has to have the ability to have amazing anticipation, coordination, and reflex. Because of the speed the car goes.

When I came to America Al Unser, Jr. was very difficult. And Bobby Unser.

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

I know if someone is coming from my right side. I could feel it.

Indy car racing is much more aggressive.

A racing driver has to be a good driver.

You had to decompress the pressure before the race. I taught my heart to relax. I lay down before the race. It gave me more energy just before the race.

I was extremely aggressive from the start.

To race Formula three is very high risk and I am not going to take a chance. Thank god I am not doing it!

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

I based in Brazil, Sao Paulo, but I come very often to the states, and I travel all over the world.

Also, I am very religious. It gave me peace of mind all my career.

I was extremely lucky. I had some huge crashes and yet I am still here, thanks to God.

I go to see grand prix every year, and I watch every race on TV for sure. I probably go to three or four CART races and three or four Formula One races.

There are many young talents in Brazil. There is a lot of hope in Felipe Massa. It is very difficult to judge him in his first year, but by the end of the end we are going to have a better position how he does in Formula One.
