I've got a great team of engineers behind this race car. I've got a great bunch of mechanics that make it reliable. This car is developed to go out there and be better than the Reynard and I feel that it is.
I need to develop a car and engineer a car in a position that feels comfortable for me and I don't think anyone can do a better job than I can in that position. The problem for me is if I can't get the car there I do struggle more than some.
We all drive differently and have different styles. For me I need a car I can develop beneath me and feel comfortable in. If the car feels neutral and unbalanced it doesn't work for me.
We go through the whole season working on next season's car and developing the car and making sure we fit in the car and all that sort of stuff. And we obviously give ideas of what we would hope next year's car would have even if it's small things like buttons on the steering wheel and different positions and whatever.
Toyota was the first to put a commercial fuel cell powered car on the road and I have no doubt that Toyota will continue to be in the front lines in the development of competitive fuel cell vehicles.
The hydrogen powered car with its high fuel mileage and zero emission rate is just one example of the products under development that will help increase our energy independence.
I was criticized at some level within the Republican Party by those who say government should not be in the economic development business at all. My response is that the only country I know that doesn't have an economic development plan is Papa New Guinea.
In my business if I get too close to you and you die it hurts me. And so you develop a natural inclination not to be close to the patient so that if things don't work out ideally you can still get up the next day and care for the next patient.
We have in this country a federal government that increasingly is engaged in trying to determine which business which regions which industries will succeed which will not through a whole range of economic development regional development corporate subsidization programs.
In this business you have to develop a thick skin but I'm always going to feel everything. It's my nature.
