"In this kind of situation, we tend to cling to his convictions, we believe that, by magic, we are going to recover. Then we agree to drive less good cars and we are fatally more exposed. It is what finally happened to me with Ensign"

- Jacky Ickx

About this Quote

Jacky Ickx's quote is a reflection on the effects of clinging to one's convictions in a tight spot. He recommends that when confronted with a tight spot, we typically hold on to our convictions, believing that we will have the ability to recuperate from it. Nevertheless, this frequently results in us making decisions that are not in our best interests, such as driving less trusted cars. This is what happened to Ickx when he drove for Ensign, a group that was not as successful as he had actually hoped. His experience works as a cautioning to others to be mindful when making choices in tight spots, as clinging to one's convictions can cause more damage than great. Ultimately, Ickx's quote functions as a pointer to believe carefully before making choices in difficult situations, as the consequences can be dire.
