Mario Andretti

I did enough of google but still it doesn't look like another Formula 1 related stamp will be released anytime soon. It's already March and Formula 1 2012 season is on the way. Last year we had the first Formula 1 Indian Grand Prix , guess who is the newcomer this season ? Yes , Formula One returns to United States and this time it is in Austin, Texas. Circuit of the Americas, a brand new racing track will host the 19^th race of the 2012 season.

Let's look at one of the greatest drivers US has ever produced - Mario Andretti. He owns the rare feat of winning all the major racing championships such as Formula One World Championship ( 1978 ) , Indianapolis 500 (1969), Daytona 500 (1967). He is also the last American to win a Formula One race , 1978 Dutch Grand Prix.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines issued a commemorative stamp to honor this greatest driver in the auto racing history. This stamp has the caption “Greatest Sportsmen of the 20th Century” , well who can deny it.
