Question: Any chance Mario Andretti might get his team in F1?
Sure would like to see that. After all, he's got some good history. Easy guy to like also.
The last time I spoke to Mario he didn't say much. Last edited by yellowperil; 01-16-2023 at 10:27 AM.. |

Mario is a great guy, but not going to be around much longer, he is 82 now.
The have a good chance, just big loads of American money needed to fill the hands of the right people to get in to F1.

It would be Michael's team and if it keeps going like it is now I would doubt it will happen.

"Mario" or General Motors? F1 is looking for manufacturer participation. It's not the days of Williams or Jordan anymore.

Mario is and always will be a great race ambassador. But this deal is all Michaels and the racing empire he has built . With GM/Cadillac coming on board they have a real chance. But F1 is a tough nut to crack . If they get a spot on the grid I look forward to how they handle the challenge .

Listening to what people say who know far more about their bid situation than can be read in the press I'd put the chances at 75:25 of it happening

I couldn't care less if they ever get a car onto the F1 grid.
