F1 - Michael Andretti's Brief F1 Career (1992)

Footage and interview with Michael Andretti during his short F1 career with McLaren Honda. The former Indy Car champion arrived in the high-profile world of Formula 1 with McLaren in 1993 holding great expectations, only to be embroiled in a catalogue of collisions, spins and mechanical gremlins which seemed to sap his confidence visibly race by race. A lack of testing mileage, the FIA's rationing of practice laps and his unfamiliarity with the circuits all told against the pleasant American, who was under pressure to produce results.
