Just to correct the record

(de Cad’s heroes, March), Mario Andretti had many more than one drive for Scuderia Ferrari in addition to the 1982 Italian GP, including the ’82 Caesar’s Palace GP, the ’71 South African GP – in which he scored his maiden F1 win in his debut for the Maranello squad – and two weeks later the non-championship Questor GP in Ontario, California.

Mario had a particular flair for driving Italian cars. I wonder if he would have relished his World Championship even more had he won it driving for Ferrari.
