"The qualifying sessions at Le Mans were even more dangerous than the race itself. Everyone was experimenting with the latest technical solutions on their car, mechanical damage was very common and oil that subsequently spilled over the Hunaudières was only fixed on the Cleaned up in the evening of a test day. Juan Manuel Fangio weaving through the wrecks and crashed vehicles in front of him seemed like a miracle to me. He must have had a sixth sense to avoid scratching our car. His extraordinary experience certainly saved him few times life."
