Indycar - Mario & Michael Andretti crash in safety vehicle

[tigasc78]

I'm crying! They had radios, they had a white flag & waving yellow at the corner station... The guys on the truck must have been shitting their pants

[Alilim8]

Right..... Mario Andretti is a bum. You my unknowledgable friend are a MORON! Mario is an ex Formula one Season Champ, an ex Indycar Champ, an INDY 500 champ, and a Daytona 500 champ...... nevermind distance events. He's a bum allright. You are truly A MORON. I'm surprised you were able to spell bum.

[85devotee]

Which channel is this?

[dreamflextor]

яблоко от яблони не далеко падает

[NapalmRiotSpaz]

I love it how the guy in the truck at 0:04 is like "Are you shitting me?"

[jamie24cfc]

Is that ken squier calling that race?

[melkaman8200]

@jamie24cfc The first commentator is David Hobbs. I'm about 90% sure you're right that the other announcer is Ken Squier

[sbazsi]

LOL. It was the most stupid crash, that I've ever seen :D

[Crisgo3d]

Andretti luck

[danieldeibler]

Even in unusual situations, this safety crew seems to immediately react appropriately and remains pretty much unfazed, continuing to perform their duties. They have come a long way. Compare them to the safety crews of 20 years earlier. As a driver, that would make me feel very grateful to have people like them around.

[hurri2002]

that's what happens when you fail to slow down for WAIVING YELLOW AND WHITE FLAGS.

The safety car was not needed there (it is used so much today because Barnhart is too damn stupid to use a local yellow). The entire field got through except for the Andrettis

[lightbulbsun43]

You gotta wonder though, what were the guys on the headsets in the Newman Haas camp doing instead of telling their drivers that there was an incident in this corner? There's a fair amount of driver error, of course. And it's hilarious it's the father/son duo, but I'd think especially after Mario does it, that the crew would be like, "hmm, maybe we should say something to Michael..."

[C0LL1N]

Screeeeech CLUNK, then the guy on the truck was like "wtf youre gonna make me get outta this thing AGAIN?!"

[Tolyngee]

like father, like son...

[Marcus666Sund]

Thumbs up if you laughed your ass of when the car hitted the medical car @ 00.3!

[lemans24fan]

do these cars have brakes???? lmfao i love how david hobbs and ken squier were calling this one too. ha ha

[InstantMash13]

The first three seconds just made my entire day. :D

[MrZachGW]

i bet that those safty workers have some great storys to tell there grandkids....... 

[EarthNightIcedWish]

LOL, that is actually really funny. At least they didn't have to wait very long for safety crews to get there:).This crash makes me wonder, are there safety crews for the safety crews? :)

[deezynar]

I don't understand the statement that this is the most stupid crash ever. It looks like the safety vehicle was out of sight around a blind corner. Other cars piled in as well. It looks to me that the safety guys didn't use their heads by stopping where they did.

[penske13]

you don't have to understand it. i think he just don't dig the andrettis. :)

[penske13]

don't get me wrong....i'm not blasting you or him but in ANY sport there are very few people who watch the sport for the love of the sport. the vast majority of fans love one or two players or teams and hate everything else. i personally think the chief steward dallenbach should have gone to full course yellow. it would have eliminated this crap altogether. if this indicates anything ...it was the willingness to put your people at risk for no reason.

[iutuber1]

like father like son..crash wise

[bblocker68]

Guys, this was a CART race, not the IRL.

Comparing the two is like apples to oranges.

[sixtolojunior]

wow, son and father?

[C906070]

funny i got an advert for car accident Compensation pop up,LOL

[sefero]

what a bunch of dumbasses haha

[Trex1980]

Alboretto, Johansson and so on has never been considered as good F1 drivers.

As for Michael and Mario Andretti, Nigel Mansell, Jacques Villeneuve and Ayrton Senna.

Why is it so hard to recognize them all as good drivers?

As for F1 vs Indycar.

F1 is recognized as a "better" racing league. But personally i find Indycar to be much more exciting and competitive with combination of oval track races and racetracks.

F1 has sucked since late 80's.

[thehackneyaccount]

Ken Squier and David Hobbs calling IndyCar. Odd.

[jbracer86]

yeah ocassionally CBS would cover a race or two. That's when Ken Squier and David Hobbs would announce it. I think the last time they did that was Nazareth 1995.

[EBrokovitch]

MArio's " Indy car" is now Honda-Indy or HINDY-car.

MArio's " Penny candy" is diferent also-it now costs $%.00.

They made some interesting changes this week so the cars are not "identicle"

...so not Japanese!'

what's up with T.george....boy does he look sad....The golden parachute opened to late? The girls rule the show,now-

[fladave99]

Like father like son.

[shmarmkilla]

What a "SAFTEY" vehicle eh?

[Corvatinha]

jajajaja very funny.

[bromvall]

lol cute

[emmasclown]

Mario always has been a bum. Its always the other guys fault. He took out 4 or 5 of the factory Fords at one corner at LeMans in '67 (it was someone elses fault). Damn! I can't seemed to remember all of Mario's greatest hits but there were a lot of them and they were always someone elses fault.

[xobrentox]

Sure this IS amusing, and probably could have been avoided, but you don't win as many races as Mario and Michael did without a lot of skill.

[BSNFabricating]

I remember that... Marco learned his lessons well.

[BSNFabricating]

If I remember right, they taped up the nose on Mario's car and "wrote" the #6 on the nose with duct tape... Michael took his fool self completely out of it... And in spite of his best efforts, Michael DID win the championship that year...

[Waterfall64]

Hahaha, only in America! Incompetent amateurs!

[hammet411]

Yeah. that's why mario won the world championship in where? OH YEAH EUROPE. Shit head.

[Formule1fan21]

some american people-_-think racing in europe is easy well look at cart champion zanardi, michael andretti, christiano da matta, 4 time champ car champion sebastien bourdais and bobby rahal. American hero's who sucked in europe;)

[AJ1964]

Michael Andretti never won Indy 500. Bourdais was a complete joke in IRL or Indycars. His 4 ChampCar titles mean nothing. Zanardi and da Matta even didn't make it to Indy 500. Bobby Rahal used F1 as a step stone to IndyCar racing. Best american drivers haven't even cared about F1 (AJ Foyt., Rick Mears, Al & Bobby Unser). Nelson Piquet when came to states being a three time "World Champion" sucked bigtime at Indy.

[hammet411]

@Formule1fan21 all of the drivers who you just named were not with really good teams. bourdais was with torro rossi. da matta was with toyota who just pulled out this year due to the fact that they couldn't perform.

[AJ1964]

Jaques Villeneuve came from Indycars and almost won two straight title in F1 - it was easy. Where was Mansell in 11994, when his car wasn't a full second ahead of others? Nowhere. Bourdais raced in ChampCar with no oppostion - NewmanHaas had no competition. All best drivers were in IRL.

[Formule1fan21]

You said where was mansell in 94, I can say the same thing about villeneuve, where was villeneuve after 97, no points in 99, never won again, Danny sullivan won indy 500 in 1998, cart champion (1988) in F1 2 points, Michele Alboreto his teammate a win in belgium and 30,5, points, ABOUT BOURDAIS, CHAMP CAR NO GOOD DRIVER, YOU THINK PAUL TRACY IS A BAD DRIVER?

[AJ1964]

What did Alboreto accomplish in IRL? Stefan Johansson? Well there are a lot of guys who were good in F1, winning, but failed in Indycars.

[Formule1fan21]

I compare F1 driver alboreto (no IRL) and teammate Danny sullivan ( indy 500 winner and cart champion) in the F1 1984 with tyrell, sullivan 2 points alboreto a win and 30,5 points, STEFAN JOHANSSON DIDN'T WIN A RACE IN F1.

[jbracer86]

i think alot of it depends on the timing each driver was at in their carreer.... the teams each driver drove at the time..... whether the team they drove for was actually competitive or not in that given year. Its hard to say exactly who was better than whom. and if each of the drivers had the adequate equipment to be competitive in either f1 or indycar racing.

[ElleSerif]

There are no Sebastian Vettel's in this league...just "so-so", as they say in my country.

Can't picture Sabasyien in an Oscar Myer Weiner Car.... or dressed up like Indiana Jones...or...hitting his team mates parked car on the track....parked.LOLAOF

[EBrokovitch]

You mean H-INDY cars don't you?

[jraybay]

Please give us a break. IRL is nothing compared to formula 1. But it's good to see some IRL drivers step up to f1 successful or not. But statistically the best drivers have come from Europes other open wheel series. face the facts.

[ltcmed]

Just another of "Mario's Greatest Hits". Funny how he always says it was the other guy's fault!

[radonma]

Sorry, but everyone else managed to get through. They really ARE dumb-shits!!

[solaire66]

@radonma Cmon, things happen, it dosent mean they cant drive and it dosent cancel out everything they accomplished in their careers. It was just a crazy incident. Get in your own car and see if you can do it.

[Dimage25]

What a nice familly meeting they had there at that corner :) I don't know if i saw this clearly, but i think there was a car going by the accident, without crashing into the safety vehicle or one of the stationary cars, so it is possible ;)

[LABRATproductionz]

brilliant

[affortunatus]

listen to a tribute song to Mario Andretti "Exactly Like Mario".

Search youtube for affortunatus like mario

[EdD5556]

huahuahuaauhu what is it!

[rockypc24]

when did ken sqiur do commteing for indycar

[MrSalomas]

hahahaa!!!! Ok....great racer....

Poor Andretti... smashed as a bug by Senna in F1! :)

[penske13]

HAHAHAHA!!! i guess no one should argue with you eh?

[luisolf]

Poor Alonso, smashed as a bug against Hamilton in his debut while in most tracks he only knew by simulators.

[fishflake1209]

Too bad this wasn't Belle Isle, but the old downtown course.

[geemo77]

Michael Andretti is a great racer - He would have won in F1 if hthey put him in the best car and chopped the arms off all the other drivers.

[kingofrunescapepking]

same goes 4 the indy 500

[SLVRBLLT40]

HAHAHAHAHA! You are correct sir.

[gnarkillkicksass]

Dude your joking right? He HAD the best car in F1. In the 9 years before he joined the team Mclaren had won 6 championships and came 2nd for the other three! Yet he still managed to be made to look like a idiot by Senna and Mika. Even both Lieger (the worst team out there almost) drivers beat him.

[geemo77]

nah i disagree - he was going to move onto great things. They put michael andretti at a disadvantage by allowing all the other drivers to race without blindfolds on.

[jbracer86]

Well Mclaren was on a decline, The car was no good, (only a legend like Senna) can pull off such great performances on it like at dontington park 93') look at the next year 94' Hakkinen did terrible in the mclaren peugot, it wasnt for a couple years until mclaren came back to top form when they got the Mercedez power plant.

[jbracer86]

not in 93, Senna the whole season complained how bad the car was compared to Williams and even Benneton was stronger in alot of ways in 93. Sure Mclaren got some wins but that was with the Legendary Ayrton Senna who could find a way to win in any car. But it was definately not the best circumstances for Michael in his rookie year in f1.

[EBrokovitch]

Blah, blah, blah-

Watch Michael try and follow Danika-

[toiletsrus]

yeah, belle isle sucks and needs to go. toronto and australia are good street circuits too though

[WillG75]

I agree, that is one of the tightest hairpins in all of racing, and it's a blind corner to boot with all the barriers.

[ryanjonik]

OH MY GOD ITS DAVID HOBBS!!!!!hahahaha

[Mr911cerrera]

You know the really funny thing about this was is they had both been by the wreck twice already. A couple of really bright guys!!

[alanamp]

conclusion: No Organisation!

[pdesil]

Mario Andretti Crashing into a big yellow truck classic lol

[JcTran92]

hahahahahahah!

[rodrigopioio]

Se repararem bem o Marco Andretti bate de velotrol ali atras....srsrsrsrsr

alguem passa isso para Ingle rsrs

[birrman2008]

oops i didnt see the truck there!!!! lol

[AyrtonSennaGODsPilot]

exactly but i suppose you don't excpect to see a truck on the circuit your racing round though

hehe

[SIMIHIGH2008]

doh!

[11010646]

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[heraldofoliveira]

Familia unida faz barbeiragem unida!!!

[jbracer86]

just like the grand prix of St. Petersberg!

[SpeedDennis]

That safty cat needs to be black flagged ! :)

[doctordazzled]

Mario & Michael Andretti are Babies

[26andretti26]

so do you think you could handle a hitting another car and flying thru the air upside down at 200 mph? i don't think so...

[PapaChipi]

Funniest thing is that when the #2 crashes the commentators don't even mention it. WTF? Maybe an Andretti crashing during a caution wasn't unusual back in the day?

[sbmrunning]

lol

[toribaltimore]

Michael's car is for sale on Ebay. It's the yellow w/ blue car coming into frame at the end. You can buy it outright for $59,900. Item number: 200191569667

[kp1401HU]

lol

[speedracergal07]

Well, it proves that everyone makes mistakes, even mario Andretti!!!

[watamon666]

David Hobbs is the man

[iluvmarcoandretti262]

wow i think even marco has better sense than this...

[SVSC3]

Was this on CBS?

[Radzio2006]

hahaha...

[MetalMilitia1811]

lmao! thats weird shit

[phatmattcowboys]

fuckin dumbasses....

[hammet411]

"ah he's just a cry baby like his daddy"- A.J. Foyt.

[26andretti26]

who'd aj say that to?

[hammet411]

Michael and his little bitch son Marco.

[26andretti26]

you suck....don't call marco that!!!! he's better at driving than you are!!!

[jazzbo1974]

that was 1990 detriot street race before belle islee

[Nxtl68]

Does anyone find it funny that they failed to notice Michael had crashed until the very end?

[bubbafan383]

wow. thats doesnt happen to often

[ballistic76]

That was so stupid, sorry.

[Ministock85h]

and thats why its funny, cuz its stupid.

[herbie916]

Another fine example of the main instructor for Michael Andretti's driving school for the blind.

[daboucane]

mwhahahahaha F1 ???? kid go back to your lolipops and probably your clown's pants (thats how i call those pants they wear too low)

[FroJoeKoolaid]

ahhh, the andretti's like father like son

[MartySchrader]

Wasn't there a corner marshall waving a yellow somewhere uptrack?

[indyjim1969]

Indy car races on street circuits are terrible for the most part. Nice party weekend, but the racing is for ovals.

[indyfan2]

Not all ovals though... :P

[davegto67]

Which of course, is why the IRL is abandoning ovals for street races, right?

[jbracer86]

not all the racing on street circuits are bad and its a great atmosphere. a good combination of ovals and street and road circuits are good for the indy car series.

[BSNFabricating]

I agree about the atmosphere at a road or street race...even though I've never been to a street race and am not a fan of them. It's like a big party...but the racing is usually not great. There's little or no run-off area before you hit the wall, and passing is next to impossible. Next to natural road courses, I prefer airport courses like Cleveland and Edmonton...

Personally I want to see the IRL remain mostly on ovals, with some road and street races to balance it out.

[derdevilder]

lol

[curling07]

WOW..I remember watching this race live...Never thought I would see this again...

[ALCUS52]

F1? Could have fooled me..

[geek49203]

Uh, this wasn't an F1 race.

[fueldragster]

This is Indy Car

[indyfan500]

its funny how they crashed their

[deadmanCLR]

the road was too narrow to turn for them too pass

[zomgjabroni]

I guess the other drivers have narrower cars

[penske13]

O5fan,

 what's your beef son?

[O5fan]

You called me and all other NASCAR fans redneck asswipes. But now I see that you said it's all good, so I don't get it.

[penske13]

i called the fuckers that throw shit all over the track redneck asswipes. i probably wasn't too clear about that. sorry for the confusion.

[O5fan]

Oh ok, I understand now. I hate those fuckers, lol. Make us all look bad. I never threw stuff on the track just because my driver got a bad break.

[indyjim1969]

They had just come around the corner and had little time to react. Oval's allow spotters to see the entire track and would have communicated that to the driver, Road courses the driver relies on flag man up the track.

[Brantoc]

The IRL will be racing in the same place this fall. Will Marco make the same mistake?? Would be REAL funny.

[doctorindy]

Yes that was at Detroit. Actually that was the old Detroit downtown course. The IRL race will be on the Detroit Belle Isle course...which either way, isn't any wider.

[rbb9753]

Andretti curse? No, Andretti stupidity.

[HexStylee]

no jagoff look at the safety crew they dont even wave down the incoming cars

[mtrizd1]

This incident happened at Long Beach not Detroit.

[cgdale]

No it didn't. It was at Detroit.

[controlwl]

family things...

[TheSmokinDuck]

you see this here... "Comment on this video"

This allows me to comment on videos. Now as i see it running into a big yellow truck is not only a bit dumb, but then to crash into it and nearly run over a marshall they should have had their licenses revoked. And i think stock-cars are shit too man, driving round in circles does nothing for me either. Also im not a redneck. hehe i like the "what are you smokin duck?"  that made me lol :P

[TheSmokinDuck]

hahahahaa this goes to prove all you indycar drivers are shit. Should stick to your leaf spring, big block 4000rpm pieces of shit!

[penske13]

what are you smokin duck? any asshole worth their salt would just accept that they made a mistake and move on. the andrettis did that. if piloting a 3400 pound dumpster around the track is your idea of racing then more power to you. fuck stock cars and all of the redneck asswipes that watch em!!

[O5fan]

Then fuck you too.

[racefan815]

What bout the guys that watch all racing including open wheeled and stock car?

[penske13]

if you like stockers that's great. i live in the trenches and i do know just a little bit about the politics of the sport. i do not like what's going on with nascar or open wheel and it's going to get worse before it gets better. like what you want to. it's all good.

[KingSnowman]

David Hobbs and Ken Squier - THat IS Odd lol Hobbs is like my Hero

[doctorindy]

Old days when CBS had a race now and then. I think it was due to CBS having the contract for the Detroit Grand Prix (the F1 race), but since that event was no more, and was turned into a CART race, CBS may have actually had a couple years left on their Detroit commitment.

[O5fan]

Actually, Hobbs and Squier were the announcers on CBS's NASCAR coverage, too.

[thechad4493]

f1 used to race in detroit?

[mustang6172]

They did from 1982 to 1988.

[StevenJamesJ]

Why does the commentator continue to talk about '#1 and #2' safety vehicle when something clearly more important has just happened on track? Poor.

[doctorindy]

They were actually not commenting on it live. It had just happened moments before. CBS was showing a replay for the first time time, and everyone already knew what had happened, just didn't see it happen.

[whompus02]

Retard #1 and Retard #2. What is it about a yellow flag they dont understand? YOU SLOW DOWN dum dums.... I remember this race and how Mario pissed and moaned and blamed everyone but himself. Yes its a narrow track. probably too narrow for racing of this caliber. But as a pro driver you need to compensate for that

[satoisalegend]

well said

[dlracer2]

Call me crazy, but I think the safety car is on the outside apex, because the wrecked car is there too, and these guys can see the top of the safety truck over the barrier in an otherwise blind corner.. Guess the Andretti's weren't paying attention though he he he

[DixieGurl333]

Ok I am sorry but that was a great laugh. I am glad no one got hurt though. They were lucky.

[AtomicMutant]

*L*

Like father like son I guess hey?

[LunceFordPrefect]

It was a stupid crash but it's a pretty stupid narrow track too. Interesting announcing team for an IndyCar race: David Hobbs and Ken Squier.

[alexcool79]

Im sure that guy got fired right away.

[JJKF1]

lol. both of them.lol

[zoostation64]

lol, why is park a safety vehicle outside a blind trun???
