Mario Andretti turns 70 on Feb 28th. As a teenager, he was my hero-- first at Indy and then in F-1. Few drivers have had careers in so many forms of motorsports -- Open wheel, sprint cars, endurance racing, hill climbs, even Nascar. So, to the last American to win an F-1 race... Happy Birthday Mario -- and many more! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Buon compleanno, Mario! Maybe you should enter a race somewhere this year in car no. 70, like your friend Paul Newman did when he turned that age! And since this is a Ferrari site, here's a photo of Mario winning the South African GP in a Ferrari. Image Unavailable, Please Login
