Mario Andretti drives his hero Alberto Ascari’s car at Goodwood

Mario Andretti got the thrill of a lifetime at Goodwood this weekend – his got to drive his childhood hero’s Ferrari F1 car at Goodwood – Albert Ascari.

Alberto means to Mario what Mario means to so many of us, Mario. Thank you being you, you’re as much an idol for millions as Ascari was for you.
