Ferrari Quotes & Sayings

Now we get quite a lot of complaints that we don’t feature enough affordable cars on the show.. so we’ll kick off tonight with the cheapest Ferrari of them all!
Jeremy Clarkson – Top Gear host

Some questioned my petrolhead credentials when I returned and, after some medication, said the (Ferrari) F12 was a car with too much power. “‘Too much power’?” they wailed. “That’s like saying your penis is too big. It’s impossible.”
Jeremy Clarkson – Top Gear host

It’s managed to get 789bhp from the massive, gravelly 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12, through the gearbox and perfectly normal Pirelli P Zero tyres and onto the road in such a way that a perfectly ordinary driver with no astronaut training can keep it pointing in vaguely the right direction. (talking about the 2018 Ferrari 812 SuperFast)
Jeremy Clarkson – Top Gear host

Lewis Hamilton – Racing car driver

The Ferraris of the day had better engines but they tended to understeer and were less agile (compared with Maserati).
Stirling Moss – Racing car driver

Cars are what they are and you have to find a way to drive around them. That’s the way it was in the past and the way it still is. I didn’t expect to come into a complete new structure and restart where I had finished at Ferrari.
Michael Schumacher – F1 Racing car driver

I have had a great time at Ferrari and there is no reason to change. They have offered me to stay as long as I feel like driving. And that is the best compliment a team can give a driver.
Michael Schumacher – Formula One driver

My proudest moments are beating Ferrari for the World Championship in 1965, and working with Ford to win Le Mans in 1966 and 1967.
Carroll Shelby – Car enthusiast
