...Which is why Mario didn't really like McQueen. While McQueen wan't a bad driver, he wasn't a pro. He got all of the credit for his placing at Sebring, when it was really the driving of his co-driver that got them second place. Mario was pissed that nobody gave credit where credit was due and McQueen got all of the accolades.
Pop quiz: anybody remember McQueen's co-driver?
And, don't forget, the real story of the race had a lot to do with Mario. One of his best drives, ever. Yet, all people remember is that McQueen got second.... it was impressive that he drove the race at all, becuase he had one foot in a cast. Still, he wasn't a pro and he'd get his ass whipped today in any decent racing series.
