The only thing that happens if you wait, is that you get older.
Mario Andretti
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
When you are losing it can seem like there is a black cloud following you around, but like they say there is a silver lining in every cloud.
Mario Andretti
My last race was at Le Mans in 2000, my first race was in 1959, so I dodged a lot of bullets along the way, I can tell you that.

Mario Andretti
I will always enter a race car from the left side. Always. Why? I have no idea.
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.
Mario Andretti
But really - look at the span of my career, and it's something people dream about. And to be spared major injury: I had some moments along the way, but being able to retire on my own terms after having driven during those decades when safety conditions were more precarious than today - am I lucky, or  what?
Mario Andretti
The passport changes but the blood doesn't
Mario Andretti
From the driver's standpoint I had the same horrors, the same satisfactions, the same everything. The speed is relative. It's faster and things are happening quicker, but you have the equipment to handle it.
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
It takes a lifetime to build tradition.
Mario Andretti
Whenever you're aggressive, you're at the edge of mistakes.
