Another race weekend, another bucket list day for motorsport legend Mario Andretti.
The 1978 F1 World Champion returned to the cockpit last weekend at Laguna Seca where the 82-year-old ran some demo laps onboard a 2013-spec McLaren MP4-28.
But it turned out that the event, gifted to Andretti by McLaren boss Zak Brown, was just a warm-up for another blast behind the wheel of the Mercedes-powered car at the Circuit of the Americas.
On Saturday, Andretti took to the track with Brown, who was strapped into an ex-Lewis Hamilton machine, much to the pleasure of the fans in the grandstands.
And as an added bonus to his US Grand Prix weekend, Mario had a corner – COTA's final Turn 20 – named after him!
Perhaps F1 should make these demo sessions a regular feature of race weekends? We'd love it!
