Mario Andretti: “Cadillac has taken on the challenge”

F1 in the United States owes him a great deal, and the Cadillac team practically everything. Without him and his son Michael, General Motors would never have entered the premier sport. We meet the 1978 world champion and new director of the Cadillac F1 Team.

What Mario Andretti is present this weekend in Miami: the sports legend or the ambassador and director of Cadillac F1 ?

The two that are one! (Laughs) A lot of good things are happening. I'm very confident in the success of this Cadillac project, which is progressing by leaps and bounds. The company has taken on the challenge and is showing how committed it is. I'm pleased and impressed by the work already done. This is an important long-term commitment for GM, but also for the sport.

Let's hope that the Cadillac / Ferrari duo will have more success than the previous Cadillac / Pininfarina duo with the Cadillac Allanté (2-seater convertible coupe produced from 1987 to 1993 with only 21.430 units) also nicknamed "the flying Italian Cadillac" because of colossal and unprecedented production logistics (bodies produced by Pininfarina in Turin before shipping to Detroit on the Hamtramck assembly lines in Boeing 747s fitted out to transport 56 at a time!
