A motorsports driver describes how setbacks and sponsorship losses shaped his path to Formula 1, IndyCar, and winning the Indy 500. He argues that failure is essential to success, though the sport discards drivers who stop performing.

You hit roadblocks, you had failures. The failures helped you be successful because you made those failures. Same thing. Even when I got into Formula 1 and I got into IndyCar and even when I won the Indy 500. But there's always the pressure, right? Because you don't keep delivering. Yeah, you're done. You're out.
