If you know motor racing, you’ll know that there’s a lot of talk about the ‘Andretti curse’. Indeed, Mario certainly seemed to have more than his fair share of bad luck, and there were plenty of times when he was leading Indy only to break down through no fault of his own. What’s more, Michael and even his nephew and grandson seem to have inherited his luck. I wouldn’t know about that. I can’t say I believe in ‘curses’. What I would say is that he had amazing courage and resilience to keep getting back in the car when he was suffering shunt after shunt, never losing his nerve.
