In an impressive Formula 1 career that featured starts with March, Ferrari, and Lotus, it took just one unfortunate car to bring Mario Andretti’s international open-wheel legacy to an end.

In the mid-1970s, when Andretti joined Team Lotus, Colin Chapman was busy with side ventures producing road cars and boats. But it was Mario Andretti who convinced him to come back full time.

Former F1 and IndyCar driver Mario Andretti won the Daytona 500 in his second start in 1967. Driving Holman Moody's No. 11 Ford, he secured the win despite his team apparently trying to hold him back.
