Talk:Michael Andretti

message: This article needs a rewrite.  It simply does not cover enough of his time in IndyCar/ChampCar.  There is too much discussion about his ill fated season in F1, and not enough discussion about the rest of his career.  I don't understand why Wikipedia highlights a driver's Formula 1 career so much when they were best known for being in another form of racing.  It makes sense for drivers like Michael Schumacher or Aryton Senna, but not Andretti.  What if Dale Earnhardt drove a season in F1, would that write out all of his NASCAR accomplishments?  He has had a great IndyCar and ChampCar career, and there needs to be more emphasis on that. Tkd73
:There is a large number of people working on F1 articles, and unfortunately not many on CART/Indycar. CART has lost favor, and NASCAR seems to have taken over the void. We occasionally have problems with too much F1 in WikiProject NASCAR drivers too (but there have been very few crossovers - "Marshall Teague"). When I think of Andretti I only thing about his CART career, and his F1 career is an afterthought. Royalbroil 03:50, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: F1 is considered...and considers itself...the absolute pinnacle of all racing, period.  While it would not cancel out a driver's NASCAR perfomances, international motor racing would care vastly more about Earnhardt's theorized single season (or single race) in F1 than all his NASCAR performances combined...and on that vein, most F1 fans consider Montoya's move to NASCAR from F1 idiotic, or worse, throwing in the towel against the absolute best, or worse. Not my opinion, just reporting F1's. --Chr.K. 03:37, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I recommend combining the two "Champcar" tables into a single table (labelled "CART" - I think the series was called "CART" the whole time Andretti competed in it). I don't think it matters that he did a year of F1 in the middle.  DH85868993 (talk) 06:46, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
