1978 world champion Mario Andretti has said that the introduction of customer cars won’t devalue the sport in anyway.
“It would also be a way for new teams to be a part of formula one, even if they don’t have their own racing car factories. I find the idea of a blue Ferrari overtaking a red Ferrari very interesting. It would give formula one a whole new appeal,” he said.
He also said that his son and owner of Andretti Autosport team in the IndyCar Series, Michael Andretti will be a part of Formula one if the sport allows customer cars.
“My son (Michael) would be one of the first who would come in, if he could buy a car from one of the top manufacturers,” he added.
Mario also confirmed that he has already held talks with Bernie Ecclestone regarding the matter and the dream could be a reality in the near future.
