I really thank Bernie Ecclestone that I was able to retire from the sport having gained a good, solid financial background for life. I don’t think without Bernie it would have been pos- sible, so I raise a glass to him every second day. These days, I find 1982 looking me straight in the face every fortnight at the races because Frank Williams, Patrick Head and Frank Dernie are all still at the team and of course my son Nico is there driving for them. It was an amazing season, something happening all the time. We had ten more cars than now and some were forced to pre-qualify. That made a difference. There were twenty-six on the grid and a lot more depth in the whole thing. In 2006, if you looked at it, you had two cars that could really win, Renault or Ferrari. Back then - because of the unreliability of the turbos - almost anyone could win and eleven did in the sixteen races. That’s why I smile when people talk about my one. It was enough.

"I was never getting enough," he told IBD. "I felt there weren't enough races. If I had a weekend off, I would book something else." Talk about an adrenaline-fueled schedule. Andretti uniquely captured the trio of the Daytona 500, Indianapolis 500 and Formula One world title. AFP/Getty Images Days after finessing his Formula One car around the 2.6-mile track in Buenos Aires, Argentina, he'd duel on dirt at a sprint car race in Du Quoin, Ill. Each event offered a different spin on competition, new insights into driving and the all- important checkered flag. "I wasn't gallivanting to other disciplines just to be there," he said. "I wanted to win. Then, mission accomplished." Such hot pursuit yielded versatility. Sweep Andretti's Keys • Auto racing champion. • Overcame: Being a WWII refugee and starting from zero in America. • Lesson: Harness your drive, grab each opportunity and learn at every turn. • "I value individuals who are goal-oriented. You have to formulate something you want to achieve. Then it's all about perseverance." Andretti is the only driver to clench this trio: Daytona 500 winner (1967), Indianapolis 500 victor (1969) and Formula One world champion (1978). Add longevity — Andretti's professional career spanned 31 years — and the honors pile up: Four-time IndyCar champion ('65, '66, '69, '84).

The company is believed to have taken the decision after indications in Japan that the automotive markets are not getting any better, Honda having recently announced a 56% drop in earnings in the last quarter, compared to 2008. Prior to that the company was looking at other options, such as selling the team on to someone else. This has now been axed and the company will simply close things down and settle all the necessary contractual commitments as quickly as possible. The news, if confirmed, will be another blow to the manufacturer power in F1 as it will be the third withdrawal by a major car company in 11 months, following in the footsteps of Honda and BMW. There are also doubts about the future of Renault's factory team. The news will also be a blow to the Formula One Teams' Association, although the members have learned that working together produces much better results than trying to take on the authorities alone. It also means that there are now just three manufacturers left: Ferrari, Mercedes and Renault, and engine supply from Cosworth will become essential to ensure there are sufficient engines to go around.
