It turned out Mario beat Michael by about four inches. “That was so disappointing,” Michael Andretti says today. “It’s funny the way it worked out. That’s probably what cost me the championship that year.” The “funniest” thing of all? That race, where father beat son by those fateful four inches, went down on Father’s Day.
It couldn’t have been easy growing up the racing son of the most famous racing driver of all time. But today Michael Andretti, 59, has fulfilled his destiny. He has had a fabulous career—statistically, he’s one of the most accomplished American open-wheel hotshoes of them all, with scores of victories and a CART Indy-car national championship under his belt . As chief of Andretti Autosport, he’s won four IndyCar championships and five Indy 500s.
From Michael Andretti’s standpoint, all of that naysaying is “shortsighted.” Formula 1’s popularity in America is exploding. Michael can bring the most iconic name in American racing back onto the international stage. That, he argues, would result in a boon of dollars and euros and yen. Andretti’s vision is ambitious as all hell and entirely different from what Haas has done.
Michael Andretti’s F1 stint with McLaren in 1993 did not go well. Could that be a reason for Andretti’s F1 ambitions today?Now stop and think about the bigger picture. Why is he doing this? Where is the drive coming from? The deeper you dig, the more interesting the story gets.
