"Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win."
"Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines."
"What's behind you doesn't matter."
"The client is not always right."
Only 'Il Commendatore' could have produced such inimitable, self-confident one-offs - writing history and building the myth that is Ferrari, along with the most fantastic racing and sports cars ever conceived. You can just picture Ferruccio Lamborghini's face when thinking about #4 up there. But no matter what - Enzo's quotes, as his cars, do live on in history. The best ones (in both categories) probably conceived long before the introduction of autocue.
Their masters' voice...
Do you recognize the other familiar faces in the grid? And do you know who could've added to his own immortality by saying "Mr. Bentley... he builds fast trucks"?
Or: "People remember the crashes - but drivers remember the near-msses"? And what about "Auto racing, bull fighting and mountain climbing are the only true sports. The rest are merely games."
Here's a great lineup of some quotes to remember. You never know; it may come in handy to know your classics when the time arrives...
- Geert.
