Honda invites Marco Andretti for F1 debut 09 December 2006 IndyCar Series 'Rookie of the Year' Marco Andretti will experience a Formula One car for the first time courtesy of the Honda Racing F1 Team when he joins the team's test in Jerez next week. The team has invited Marco to drive its 2006 RA106 race car on Friday 15 December, the final day of its scheduled test, in recognition of his achievements in the Honda-powered IndyCar Series this year. The 19 year old recently completed his first season in the IndyCar Series, driving the #26 NYSE car for Andretti Green Racing. A superb 'rookie' year saw Marco finish second in the 2006 Indianapolis 500, capture his first career victory at the Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma and finish the season in seventh position overall in the drivers' standings. Marco was further honoured with the Bombardier Rookie of the Year Award and the Rising Star Award. Marco Andretti commented: "I am thrilled that Honda has offered me this incredible opportunity. 2006 was a fantastic inaugural year for me in the IRL and I look forward to fighting for the championship next season. However, as you would expect of any racing driver, when Honda offered me the chance to drive, I grabbed it with both hands - no hesitation! I can only imagine what an awesome experience this is going to be and I'm just going to take my time and enjoy every moment." Marco is the son of two-time IndyCar Series championship-winning team owner and former CART champion Michael Andretti, and the grandson of racing legend Mario Andretti. He is also team-mates at Andretti Green Racing with Brazilian Tony Kanaan, who also experienced a drive in a Honda F1 car in December 2005, Scotsman Dario Franchitti and Danica Patrick. 資料來源:F1 Racing ====================================================================== 本田車隊邀請年僅19歲 (1987年生)的IndyCar年度最佳新秀Marco Andretti 試駕F1。 Marco Andretti出身顯赫的賽車世家:父親Michael Andretti是1991年CART 的年度冠軍,現在是IndyCar中拿下兩屆冠軍的Andretti Green Racing的老闆, 也曾在1993年效力過F1的McLaren,因為不適應F1,儘管在義大利站拿下第3名, 還是提前離隊,空缺由一個叫Mika Hakkinen的老兄遞補。祖父則是駕駛革命性的 地面效應傳奇賽車Lotus 79奪下1978年F1世界冠軍的傳奇車手Mario Andretti。 之前Mario Andretti被訪問時提到:"I would love to see Marco race in Formula 1 with Ferrari.",嗯...... 柴犬M -- Mika Hakkinen -- Born: September 28, 1968 F1 driver: 1991-2001 Career: 20 wins, 51 podium finishes, 26 poles, 25 fastest laps, 420 points 1998 F1: West McLaren Mercedes, World Champion, 100 points (8 wins, 11 podium finishes, 9 poles, 6 fastest laps) 1999 F1: West McLaren Mercedes, World Champion, 76 points (5 wins, 10 podium finishes, 11 poles, 6 fastest laps) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.134.134.113 ※ 編輯: MikaHakkinen 來自: 220.134.134.113 (12/10 14:26) ※ 編輯: MikaHakkinen 來自: 220.134.134.113 (12/10 14:27)
