love Mario and respect Michael. My wall next to the computer is filled with a collage of Mario and Michael huddled in the pits at Pocono in the early 90's, taken by yours truly in the days when CART still allowed mere mortals in hot pits during qualy.

I grew up in racing in 78 reading Rob Walker's accounts of Mario, and his winning and Ronnie dying made a great impression on a 17 y/o.
And I lived most of my life a half hour from Nazareth.

That said, no way Andretti Global goes to F1 and cleans up. They can't even dominate a spec series (Indycar) in the USA with 2 great drivers. They're spread thin.

But there was no need for those that wrote the manifesto to insult them, it looks petty.

But the point that made sense-why come to F1 this year, spend mega millions developing a car that will be obsolete when the regs shift in a season? Come back then. And this makes complete sense.

Hopefully they will. And I pray that Mario will be healthy enough to see it.
