A quotation about cars is meaningful only when its source and context are reasonably clear.
What to Consider
Short statements are often copied without the interview, speech or technical discussion that surrounded them. That omitted context can change the meaning.
Practical Perspective
Readers should distinguish a verified quotation from a paraphrase or unattributed saying. If the source cannot be established, present the idea without quotation marks.
Expert Perspective
FIA's official technical and regulatory publications demonstrate why statements about motorsport and vehicle requirements are best read in their original context.
