Marco seems like such a genuine dude. Doesn’t act like his last name makes him better than anyone
He’s been humbled.
His last name kept him in racing cause he certainly was better than anyone else when it came to racing
@@JanitorIsBack Was or wasn’t? Wasn’t, right?
The Nascar drivers had nothing bad to say about Mario. Couldn't help but like him. Waddell Wilson said all Mario ask for was a good engine. And waddell changed numbers around, at Moody for team ford so Mario didn't get screwed. Mario gave all credit to waddell.
The combo we never knew we needed. Great to hear from Marco!
Man I wish Marco would win I would cry like a baby
Been a diehard Marco fan since the late 2000s. He had such a unique driving style when I first started watching the series. First one to create a third lane at texas, first one on slicks on a drying track...It was always something and extremely entertaining. I hate that it hasn't worked out at the 500 so far and that he's been uncompetitive in the race for a few years now. If he somehow can find that old Andretti form he had for so many years at this race and can pull off a win, I'd be the second happiest person in the world behind him. Good luck MA
that style was called finishing in the back
What's been his issues driving? Anyone know?
Marco running the double would be so cool. Hopefully he can get some solid results building on the truck and Arca side later this year.
As always I will be rooting for Marco in the 108th running. I have been pulling for an Andretti for most of my life. Sunday, "The Greatest Spectacle In Racing" once again! Miss you Dad!
Both cups are obviously empty. At least put something in them and fake it.
Yeah idk what the point of any of that was
If James doesn’t do coffee, name it “Bros and Boba” or “Tea with JH” or “sit down with the mayor” 😂
This is the first one I watched bc of Marco. Is that the the joke? Java with James but never any Java?
@@elliotblair171 Sometimes he does drink what they drink.
Love you two! Huge Andretti fan for decades, and I love that Hinch (Mayor of Oakville!) is a broadcaster now! 🙋♀️💜🇨🇦
I'm Andretti fan myself, since the early 80's grew up in long beach crown jewel, i heard saw the Andretti family roar down our streets. Yes i would live to see Marco with st indy.
When he was doing SRX, I had a feeling that Marco was more of a stock car driver than an open wheel driver.
Hopefully things continue to go well in the stock car world for Marco!
Idk how. You should watch old Indy races from his first in 2006 to present. Marco has ran so well at Indy so many times
@@alanluscombe8a553 oh yeah that is true. Maybe I’m referring to his later years in the sport.
@@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT yeah that is true. He did well in srx for sure I forgot he won the championship in that series. I wish he could find an Indy win before he is done. He will probably be the last Andretti to try unless I’m forgetting about someone
@@alanluscombe8a553 It's easy to hate on the guy behind a burner account on social media...but what people don't want to ever admit is the guy's got talent. He's shown it many times and should probably have closer to 5 wins in the sport compared to the 2 he actually achieved. If you've been a fan for more than 5 years, you know how good he CAN be at this race
I think like a lot of the IRL drivers, Marco is more comfortable on ovals that road courses. I know he won at Sonoma, but when reunification happened, Marcos best finishes were on the ovals.
did anyone notice how Marco looked in his cup with a smile knowing it's empty
Been routing for Marco all 18 and will continue to the win! 👊
Background music is way too hot. Drop a few dbs.
I wish you the best at Indy Marco👍👍👍
I was with my family in the South grandstand for Marco's first race. We were about at the track exit gate before we learned he hadn't won. We were shocked because nobody had eve been passed for the win after exiting Turn 4 for the last time.
I first tasted coffee when I was about 12. My second taste was in my mid-sixties. It reminded me why had not wanted a second taste.
GO MARCO !!! ♥
Great stuff! Definitely rooting for MARCO!
Indycar isn't the same without you, Marco. Keep racing the 500 and maybe come back to full time. Great interview as always, Hinch.
Great job on SRX and you almost won Indy. This is a hard group to join. Best luck to your family and the mayor of Hinchtown.
Marco deserves to win this. Michael deserved to win it. Not to mention the Mayor of Hinch Town. Go Go Marco!!!
Let's Gooooooooo Marco!!
"You need the opposite of coffee"
I would love to take some bong rips with Hinch.
Marco is the most relaxed Italian/American diver to ever live and Hinch is the most exuberant Canadian driver in history. What gives?
There was I thinking James and Marco were going to do a tech talk on Java programming!
Was that marco saying takuma was his favorite episode lol
Need to jump in here and just say that there is in fact coffee in the cups! They don’t pour me a full cup because they know I’m not going to drink more than 2 sips!
The cups are empty. It doesn’t really matter but that’s kind of the point. Why even bother with empty cups and all that? Just talk about Indy
Because it's an easy excuse to be able to get two very prominent Honda logos into the camera's frame.
If Andretti Global got an F1 Charter, would Marco give F1 a shot?
Fair enough, appreciate you being objective…I typically hear how I’m nuts….but facts are facts and results don’t lie. Agree, NASCAR not a good fit for her. The good old boys didn’t want to accept her either….and you can bang a lot more in NASCAR… that’ll put you out in Indy cars.
Is there ever even coffee in the cups?! 😅
In the final seconds of this clip from IMAX Superspeedway there's little Marco with grandpa Mario watching his dad at Road America czcams.com/video/rqGp3wAHCpY/video.html
Drink tea
When Marco was a rookie and even a few years after I was a huge fan, but it seems like anymore he's lost the passion. It seems like he just settles for mediocre. Not hating cause I love the guy but he has so much talent.
I loved Marco when he first entered indycar, but come on man it’s been like 20 years and you still get to keep trying? Give a younger driver a shot
Probably goptta do all the Ovals Marco to learn more. Just sayin'
Riding on the Andretti name got him to Indy.
Maybe it got him into racing at an early age (and financial backing to start) but he's more than earned his spot in the field year after year.
Yet he won a pole and came oh so close more than a few times. He wasn’t a champ, but me thinks you judge too harshly.
@@ntnstyThere are multiple winners who can’t get a full-time ride, let alone pole sitters.
Marco is literally riding on his name.
And you're saying that you wouldn't, if the opportunity presented itself?! Michael didn't want him to race, because he (Michael), Al Jr. and "just Al" had all been pretty much pushed into racing because of their family names. Marco had to convince his father that he was SERIOUS about driving and was willing to put in all of the effort required. Yes, the family (and the family name) got him the ride this year, but HE had to qualify and put that car in the show!
@@patlatorres7000 Most people would take the opportunity if it presented itself. Who wouldn’t choose being a professional race car driver over a boring 9-5?
Yes, he had to put the car in the race, but there were only 34 cars that attempted. Other vets who have proven themselves can’t stay on a team. Marco hasn’t produced and they keep bringing him back. If it wasn’t for his name, his career would’ve ended a long time ago- considering it started at all.

Mediocre driver at best. Riding daddies coat tails his whole career. John and Jeff the same.
the definition of nepotism
Eh, he was fairly competent and competitive for most of his driving career. It was only the last 2 or 3 years before his break away from it that it kinda seemed like he was phoning it in, driving wise.
Only one lid for the air, how impoverished is the series? Surly Honda could spring for at least water.
Can’t help but think he’s a male Danica
His main problem was the same as most IRL drivers in they had issues on road courses after reunification. He’s still a good driver, but when the schedule went from 90/10 ovals to only 30/70, his weak areas as a driver were highlighted.
NO! I DON'T want to see him in a bikini!
Marco….is and always has been overrated. Why? Compare his record to Danica Patrick who everyone says is overrated right? He’s won twice, she’s won once. And he’s driven in roughly twice as many times as she has.
Both Danica and Marco were _decent_ Indycar drivers. Saying that, however, Danica never came to terms with stock cars, though. It'll be interesting to see what Marco does in them, after his success in SRX.
No one who knows anything considers Danica overrated in IndyCar. She was just dogshit in stock cars.
@@VoxxyNZ Was she still over rated in Indycars? Sure, she was overhyped, but she was still fairly competent. She just wasn't the god tier level driver they tried to sell her as. But also, she for sure wasn't a 'Milk 'n Donuts' type driver, either.
@@hippyjason I'm saying the opposite; she was a fairly talented IndyCar driver and is/was probably rated about where you'd expect for her skill level.
But now people only remember her for her rough time in stock cars which, like you said, she never really came to terms with.
@@VoxxyNZ OK, so we do agree, then. Cheers
One of the biggest chumps to ever be put in a race car because of his daddy owning the team. No skills at all
Eh. There was about a 7 or 8 year period back then where he was a pretty decent shoe, and even won a few Indycar races. I mean sure, he kinda coasted for the 2 or 3 seasons after that, probably a bit burnt out. Maybe him winning in SRX, and the few seasons away from daily grind of the sport, relight the fire in him.
