If I recall correctly, Andretti's irritation with McQueen at Sebring had less to do with McQueen's abilities behind the wheel and more to do with the fact that Peter Revson, who Andretti respected as a driver, was getting far less attention than McQueen but was doing the better part of the driving. That race was one of Mario's best, in his last stint behind the wheel during the race.
I would give the nod to Paul Newman over Patrick Dempsey, because anybody that can pedal a 935 around Le Mans as well as Newman did has got more than a little talent. I was fortunate enough to spend a little time around those cars at the end of their racing life and they were quite a beast.
