“I never considered myself a daddy’s boy, I wanted to be able to have a life of my own, not simply the product of a certain family or a certain class. I thought I would be able to express myself within the sport.
You can buy your way into Formula 1, but once your arse is in the metal monocoque, the only person who can help you is yourself.” -Elio de Angelis
