Michael Andretti
One thing I would like to see is a stronger ladder series for up-and-coming American drivers.
On the track, fluids are important I actually have a bottle in my car.
No, I've never had a desire to race in NASCAR.
My rookie year in Indycars went really smoothly, but the next year everything went wrong.
Last year was our first season together and we scored a win in Toronto, but there were some growing pains. That's not unusual for a first-year team.
It's good to see CART develop young talent because they are the future of the series.
It opened my eyes. You have to look at things rationally and not emotionally.
In Indycars you might have maybe six guys who can win instead of the four in F1.
In 2001, my sponsors - Motorola and Archipelago - were very keen to get back to Indy because it is still the world's largest one-day sporting event.
If you look at the way racing is structured in Europe, they're getting talent at a very early age.
If CART continues on, it's just going to drag all of open-wheel racing down.
I want to put on the best show possible for the fans.
I think when you're young, you have just so much energy and you're willing to take more chances than normal, things like that.
I think the physical challenge is a little different than NASCAR, where as you said, it's about the fumes and maybe the heat.
I think the good teams are still going to be at the top whether there's testing or not.
I think our product is the best in the world right now, but because we're divided, we're not getting it out there.
I think it's important to have the best drivers.
I think getting to places like Canada and Mexico are important because they are such great race fans there.
I obviously have opinions, but my job here is to race.
I mean, I'm very happy with the way things did go with my career in so many other ways that I still feel like I've been the most blessed guy in the world.
