In 2021, Helio Castroneves joined an exclusive club with his 4th Indianapolis win. 13News followed Helio from start to finish that year.

Mario was with his son, Michael, last week when the team opened its new facility for an F1 team in England.FILE - 1969 Indy 500 champion Mario Andretti watches during practice for the Indianapolis 500 on May 19, 2023. said Friday he was deeply offended by the language Formula One Management used in denying his family and General Motors the opportunity to join the global motorsports series.

Among F1's claims were that it did not believe Andretti would be a competitive team; that the Andretti name does not bring the value to the series that Michael Andretti believes it would; and that getting on the grid in the next two years would be a challenge Andretti has never faced before. "That's another offensive statement there. We're the ones that worked it out, and GM said it over and over, 'Andretti or nothing,' and then still tried to take it," Andretti said."There's an undercurrent there that I don't understand, quite honestly, but if they want blood, well, I'm ready."Andretti then pointed to his forearm and pretended to slice a vein to show his commitment to the F1 effort.

"We're trying to say 'We'll do whatever you ask of us. We'll do whatever is there. Now, if you think of something, you tell us,'" Andretti continued."But they haven't told us yet except for some excuses like, 'Oh we don't want you coming on, we don't want you to be embarrassed.' But we don't want to embarrass ourselves, and the fact is General Motors has made it so clear that they're excited about this project.
