Determined to become World Champion, he joined Colin Chapman’s Lotus team in 1976, and together they set about restoring the winning ways of the legendary marque. While not abandoning Ind圜ars entirely, he sought new challenges by turning to Formula 1 where he won his first Grand Prix, driving for Ferrari, in South Africa in 1971. In the early 1970’s, Ind圜ar racing became an all-oval track series, which did not appeal to the adventurous Andretti. Winner of the first Driver of the Year award in 1967, he topped this on its 25th anniversary in 1992 by being awarded the title Driver of the Quarter-Century – a feat few drivers are likely to emulate.Īndretti first achieved success in 1965 when he finished third in his first Indianapolis 500 and went on to win his initial Ind圜ar race and subsequently the championship, which he retained the following year. At the age of 53 he shows no desire to retire but is set for another season of Ind圜ar racing with the Newman-Haas team and new teammate, Nigel Mansell.
