It Quot racing Roundup another Andretti Aims up Arrow the United states has been without a Driver in the formula one grand prix world championship series since Eddie Cheever bowed out at the eted of the 1989 now that Michael Andretti has signed a testing contract with Mclaren International that situation could change. Chances Are that Michael the son of former world Champion Mario Andretti will be on the Mclaren roster for the 1992 Campaign. And while Mclaren Honda is the top team r at least for now a no one would envy Andretti his position if he does go racing with that prestigious organization. A a a a a a a r a a Why because his teammate would probably be Ayrton Senna the brazilian who reigns As defending world Champion this year. And being teammate to Senna would be a frustrating business As both Alain Prost of France and Gerhard Berger of Austria have discovered. A a a a. A a. A a at Mclaren Senna is King and that is that. But Andretti has Only signed a testing contract and once he gets the formula one car experience tie wants he could sign on with some her team. Still it appears that racing for Mclaren is his goal and As his contract with the Newman Haas racing team expires at the end of this season we can expect to see Andretti in a Mclaren Honda next year. We re assuming Here that the austrian Berger would give Way for Andretti but then who knows perhaps Senna will go elsewhere if he can get More Money. In formula one racing today Money is what its All about. / because of wet weather Andretti a recent test Outing in Portugal was inconclusive but his times were not far off bergers so its a Case of a so far so regardless Andretti is a first class Driver and he will have no problems in formula one racing if he. Does decide to go that route. The same can be said for Many of her Drivers in american cart indy car racing. A a a a a a Quot but Andretti Winner of 14 indy car races and twice runner up in the american cart series is More formula one oriented than other american Drivers. This figures because his father Mario competed in formula one grand prix racing for More than 10 years. Mario who drove for Ferrari Gra Natelli March Lotus and Alfa Romeo capped his illustrious career by winning the world driving championship in 1978 aboard a Lotus. Mario has been More than supportive of his songs plans to go into formula one and said recently a a he a definitely going in the right direction. He a going to get his feet wet in the proper Way with the proper people. In a very Happy for the Mclaren International statement meanwhile said in part that a Mclaren International and Michael Andretti have announced the signing of a testing agreement which is designed to enable both parties to develop Long term alternatives to their respective programs. These tests will be timed so As not to jeopardize either party a 1991 Andretti a 1991 program is to continue cart indy car racing for Newman Haas with his father running once again As his teammate. During the 1991 season Michael will have five or six test sessions with Mclaren when the dates done to conflict with his cart efforts. His immediate goal of course will be to win the cart championship As this would give him added Mclaren Engineer Tony Alexander left and Driver Allan Mcnish right advise Michael Andretti in Portugal.
