Quotes "Resistance from men does not bother me. Once I get on the track I like to use my technical skills, take control and dominate the other drivers." "Most of them, I think, are jealous, and I don't care about that. I am just going and going and hoping to be champion in the next years and I will really try to achieve that goal." "Every time I want to practice or make a test drive, the track staff ask me for a letter of permission -- even though I am the captain of the Proton speed team. Men never have this kind of hassle."
