I LOVE this guy. I met him first in 1980 and he was very nice and explained to a 13 year old me that wanted to be a photographer where to be around the track. For 30+ years we'd be at different tracks and I could learn something new from him each time.
He's a great driver and a better man.
I cannot express enough how impressed I am with these interviews. You're how old? I can't even imagine where you're going to be 5, 10 year's from now!
Dale, Kelley and Mike, I imagine are like the proudest of proud as a peacock. The driver's, crew chiefs, engineers, Dirty Mo Media personal to go through their company to achieve bigger and better things is incredible.
What makes a good interviewer when talking to genuine greats? You keep quiet and let them do the talking. Mario reminds me a bit of the first Finnish F1 driver Leo Kinnunen, who was also the World Sportscar Champion in 1970 together with Pedro Rodriguez. I had the pleasure to meet Leo several times; a charming gentleman who was not as talkative as Mario but every bit as likeable, someone whom you'd welcome as your friend. Very best regards to Mario from Finland! 🏆🇫🇮
That dean van lines car ........my favorite open wheel single seater race car of all time..........
An amazing man with an amazing legacy!!
The whole family have had incredible careers in Motorsports.
I wouldn't necessarily say John Andretti had an incredible career, but a career nonetheless
Even though the Lotus 77 wasn't good enough to win a championship, it was one sexy-looking car.
Mario Andretti is my racing hero!
Mine too!
8:10 "Today’s drivers have the best chance ever to retire on their own terms."
Well said.
This was awesome content !
Oh hell yes. I'm so excited for this one!
The interviewer does a good job. Mario seems quite comfortable with him. Is the car in the background Mario's 65 Indy entry?
No, his car number in 1965 was 12. The car in the background may represent 1966 or 1967, when he was national champion in the previous year.
He was not the greatest F1 driver of all time, wasn't the greatest Indycar racer of all time, wasn't the greatest NASCAR driver of all time, wasn't the greatest short track or midget racer of all time; but he was maybe the greatest race driver of all time. You could just drop him in anything it was fast. When I was a kid he was legendary: drive it like Andretti was the phrase that meant fast and aggressive. The closest equivalent today would be 'drive it like you stole it'. Not everyone knew who Richard Petty was but every single person in America knew who Mario Andretti was; he was American Racing. On the playground everyone wanted to be Mario or Evil Knievel.
Funny thing, when my son was very young, like five year old, we got a Nintendo system and at first he thought Mario Kart was named after Andretti.
Man! I didn't know Mario Andretti was still alive!
He's on almost every indycar pre race
@@precesionnoreaster1507dude quiet obviously doesn’t pay any attention to Indycar if he thinks mario was dead 😂
mario still drives the two seat indycar it's awsome to see
Love Mario thanks
I love Mario really do
70s and 80s open wheel drivers were the gladiators of the sport! The only drivers today that compare to them are racers on 2 wheels like MotoGP and ISLE of MAN TT
Mario is the best race car driver history will ever see
No. Jim Clark, Stirling Moss, Ronnie Peterson, There you have the best driver there was.
The whole GOAT thing is pointless, era to era, but at age 78 I don’t think there has been a better all -around driver in my lifetime. Who takes a year off USAC and goes to Europe and wins the GP championship? How many F1 drivers have won the Daytona 500? The list goes on, and he’s genuinely respected across the board. A great driver and a great human. And Mr. Kurland, your interviewing skills should be emulated by people a lot older than you!
The best.
I saw Mario "Snap Spin" the evil Ferrari 126-C2 @ the Ceasars Palace Grand Prix in 81 or 82....never thought he would recover the car and drive off after doing a 360 degree pirouette exiting looking like a NHRA "Top Fuel Dragster" smoking the rear tires....AMAZING FEAT of driving skill & talent. It's a shame when Michael Andretti was given a F-1 opprotunity that he didn't fully dedicate himself to the task @ hand and chose to "Commute to Europe" instead of relocating and giving it 100% of his attention.
Like A.J. said Langhorne separated the men from the boys.
Especially before it was paved.
That's where we live.
70s F1 cars were the best looking cars , but deadly as hell.
One of history's over-hyped drivers. Granted he won one F1 championship, but that was in the 1st car to exploit under car aero and one of the 1st "downforce" cars. After '78 they all had downforce cars for '79 ending his dominance in F1.
Insane to call this man over hyped. Just look at his stats
@@MPerry-dg1me Insane to argue with the F1 facts. 12 wins in 131 starts is less than stellar, and most wins were in '78 with the "loop hole" car I mentioned. I, like F1, don't even consider indy or cart as racing. It's more of a joke compared to F1. The only F1 drivers that went that route couldn't make it in F1, or were undesirable. But if you insist in calling "wins", 87 wins in 570 starts is 15.25%, not much better. Juan Manuel Fangio had a 45% win ratio. Be informed before you troll.
