Great video! In my time amateur racing and talking to officials who had worked races with the Andretti’s, some did not have a very high opinion of their behavior behind the wheel from a safety perspective. I don’t have first hand knowledge to judge, but to me at least interview wise, Mario always comes across as being both very intelligent and honest in his answers. Qualities that have become ever less important over recent decades with all the focus shifting to marketing and regulation politics in F1.
If Ronnie and Mario would have competed on equal terms, Ronnie would have been the world champion in 1978. He was so much better than Mario, but he was treated unfair by the team and Colin Chapman.
@@lumpymattress5649 Just see the movie "Super Swede" and hear what the LOtus mechanics says about how Ronnie was treated by the team and Colin. That is answer enough for me.....
@@lumpymattress5649 No bias because Lotus own mechanics are telling what they felt and experienced at the time, but I guess you are in full denial so it is useless to convince you...just see the movie and see for yourself...
If Chapman and Andretti did not play clean with Peterson, both paid the price. Neither of then ever won a GP again and sank in the insignificance. Besides, one must underline that at that point of time Lotus was the most successful team in F1 after Ferrari. They experienced a revival in the midth 80s with de Angelis and Senna, but Chapman was no longer manager of the team.
Eppure dopo la vittoria di Peterson la sua ultima in Austria Chapman si dimostrò molto felice con Ronnie. Sembrava tornato l amore come del 73. È successo qualcosa nel gp successivo in Olanda. Sembra che Peterson in quel fine settimana firmò con McLaren per la stagione successiva e Chapman non la prese bene. Peterson ebbe la conferma che Andretti sarebbe rimasto in Lotus anche nel 79.
@@marcorinchi5150 Ronnie did not mind Andretti but he refused to sign a no.2 contract again. By Monza Chapman all but knew Ronnie had signed somewhere else and they situation within the team was tense
Heute noch am Leben der Mario obwohl er Autos von Chapman fuhr. Die wirkliche Leistung. Vielleicht, weil der Lotus so überlegen war, dass er nicht ans Limit gehen musste.
@@wolfgangscholz6666 das ist keine Leistung sondern Chapman hat das aus Gewichtsersparnis gemacht wie z B. beim Lotus von Rindt...der 1970 im Training auch Nicht am Limit gefahren wurde und trotzdem brach die Bremswelle...was ich damit sagen will : durch die Stallorder Andretti/Peterson wurde er auch durch Andretti nie am Limit gefahren...im Gegenteil Peterson ist hinter Andretti immer mit 3/4 Gas gefahren um Lauda fernzuhalten und seinen Team"Kollegen" Nicht zu kompromentieren...so war die Abmachung in 1978
Why ausnahme? Perez doesn't get what Max gets, not even close. F1 definitely should have only 1 car teams. This second driver joke must end. What AJ Foyt wrote in his book about the F1. He didn't want that kind of crap and never raced in F1, but won everything.
There are people who prefers to believe in chance because they just cannot live with the thought that they must pay for bad actions.

Besides, one must underline that at that point of time Lotus was the most successful team in F1 after Ferrari. They experienced a revival in the midth 80s with de Angelis and Senna, but Chapman was no longer manager of the team. By the way, you just have to inquire in the case Regazzoni/Frank Williams.😔

Super Doku, die zeigt, dass Andretti 1977 viele Fehler machte! (Kollisionen mit Watson, Hunt, Reutemann....)!

Not likely & Colin hated Americans

And Cheever was the best american in F1 actually.

Colin Chapman war der charismatische Lotus Chef, leider ist er viel zu früh verstorben!
Niki, the best ever ❤❤❤
In Zeltweg 1978 hat sich gezeigt wer der Beste war
✌️🤠💥🌟🌀👍
Formel 1: 90% ist das Auto und nur 10% der Fahrer, dass ist auch heute noch so, Ausnahme Perez/Redbull!

Sehe ich genauso
Avec Ronnie 25%😉
Lotus was too dominating this season and 1979 they were nowhere
Man merkt richtig wie Lauda mal so überhaupt keinen Bock auf das Interview hat und gerade auf die Fragen zu Andretti nur genervt antwortet
Ich finde ihm recht entschpannen und locker.
Seen Himmel zandvoort 78 with ronnie
Haha geil…Stuck zum Unterschied Lauda/Andretti: „Mario ist sehr sympathisch“ :)
Watson und Reutemann haben Recht
Nach Petersons Unfall in Monza 1978 gewann Andretti nie wieder einen Grand Prix. Zufall?
Er gewann allerdings noch 20 Rennen und eine Meisterschaft in der Indycar. Also ja. Zufall.
I still think Cheever was the best american in F1. So far.

1979 spielte Andrettii keine Rolle mehr...
Dommage Ronnie peterson était bien plus fort que Andretti! 😮💨
OMG, diese rollenden Brandbomben😂
