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
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.
