More quotes by Mario Andretti
The experts or the cynics say, Oh, those were the good old days, that's when drivers were really drivers. They didn't have all these aids. You know what? What we had, we did the best with and when we got more we provided what was needed.

In racing, there is no question who is best - the first one to cross the finish line wins first prize. But with wine, even if you make the best wine in the world, someone isn't going to like it, because it isn't their style. Judging wine is very subjective.
Mario Andretti
Nobody is born with a steering wheel or a gear shift in his hand. It's something you choose to do or you don't.

Mario Andretti
Speed takes a little bit of getting used to, but rules have to be followed. At any speed, the more you run, the more you get used to it.
Mario Andretti
I don't have many superstitions, just dumb things I don't talk about. I will not sign an autograph with a green pen.
Mario Andretti
I go to bed is around 11, and I do that for every race. I get good sleep. I don't lie awake for any race. That's my routine.
Mario Andretti
The only thing that happens if you wait, is that you get older.
Mario Andretti
Love what you do. Believe in your instincts. And you'd better be able to pick yourself up and brush yourself off every day.
Mario Andretti
There's something special about racing in real streets. The 'artificial' circuits have a certain sameness to them. But every race conducted on real streets has a character of its own - Barcelona, Monaco, and now Long Beach.
Mario Andretti
You can't take a vacation from speed. I probably could have taken more time off and not driven in all the different disciplines, but I wanted to drive, drive and drive.
Mario Andretti
Failure is sucess if we learn from it.
Mario Andretti
Unfortunately, we don't educate drivers enough to be respectful on the road.
Mario Andretti
Do it no matter what. If you believe in it, it is something very honorable. If somebody around you or your family does not understand it, then that's their problem. But if you do have a passion, an honest passion, just do it.
Mario Andretti
