Could you summarise the reasons given for MA's problems?

| I, too, read the article in SI. If I read between the lines correctly,
Michael's problem is his wife, Sandy. The only time he's scored F1
points this year were the times she wasn't around for the weekends.
The article also mentioned that even the McLaren team was banning
together to keep her away from trackside on racing weekends.

2127.4 | A dead loss | EUSEBE::STURT | Totally wired | Tue Aug 03 1993 09:30 | 9 |
| Michael Andretti must be the biggest disappointment of the year. He
rarely does more than ten laps, and even when he does he is simply not
fast. He lacks all the talent and class of Papa Mario. I'm sure that
Senna sets a cracking pace, but the distance between the two is
sometimes colossal. Did he really win the Indycar championship last year?
I'm sure that Mika would have done much better.

No he didn't. Bobby Rahal won it last year. Michael was second, 4
points behind him.

2127.6 | Micheal = Sloppy? | YUPPY::PATEMAN | Scuba Dive in my Think Tank | Tue Aug 03 1993 12:45 | 8 |
| Interesting comment by the ESPN Europe commentators on Sunday (Guy
Hobbs & ???) that Michael was a "sloppy" driver and the he could get
away with it in Indy but not in F1. I would reckon that his experiences
will stop drivers like Little Al thinking about F1 but possibly not
Tracey and Gordon. However, expect a flood of ex-F1 ers in Indy
(Boutsen, Gugelmin, de Cesaris?, Warwick [unfortunately] etc)

2127.7 | Replace MA with Robby Gordon in F1 - Yes! | STAR::BOIKO | ALPHA/VAX Performance Group - ZKO3/4 | Tue Aug 03 1993 16:10 | 5 |
| I read somewhere that Robby Gordon has stated that he has (ie. Ford)
sights set on racing in F1. With the help of Mikey K @ Ford I can see it
happen.

2127.8 | Hi there honey... | IOSG::DUTT | Nigel Dutt | Tue Aug 03 1993 18:49 | 7 |
| So what is it that his wife does to affect him? Maybe she stands by
the armco somewhere round the first corner and he just gets this
uncontrollable urge to drive straight at her....
I notice that Indy drivers do tend to have their partners in the pits
while F1 drivers don't these days. So, for example, Roseanne Mansell is
now always there while she wasn't in F1 (except for Silverstone).

| I don't think any F1 team will touch an Indy driver after MA, unless they bring
enough bucks to float a team in financial trouble!

2127.10 | My wife's always in the pits | VANTEN::MITCHELLD | "Management is opaque" | Wed Aug 04 1993 15:26 | 5 |
| And I cant say it causes me to only complete one
lap...(finished every race this year!!!)
may be MA should get his wife to fix the car
during the week?....
