This is the silliest idea about motor racing I've ever read.

Originally posted by Tervuren Sammy, Mario still lived in the US, and had a heck of a time in F1 when he didn't live near any tracks, not a fun schedule. He was good, quite good, but also was better with mechanical cars, rather then electronic. I feel he'd of croaked in modern F1 even more.

Andretti was / is one of the most talented and smart drivers ever. He won poles, races, and championships in every type of car and racing that existed during his career (except Paris-Dakar or rally's I don't believe he ever competed) There were very few drivers as fast as he at his best. And he brought quite a few setup tricks to F1 that are still in use today. Very much under-rated for his setup and testing abilities.
Andretti would win in any era in any car.
