[h=2]40 years ago today: Mario Andretti wins Long Beach F1[/h] Monday, 03 April 2017

It was 40 years ago today that Mario Andretti overhauled Jody Scheckter's Wolf in the closing stages of the Grand prix of Long Beach to win the second-ever Formula 1 race on the streets of the Soutern California city. Aside from giving a significant early boost to the Long Beach event – which will be staged for the 43rd time this weekend – the win foreshadowed Mario's world championship victory from Lotus the following year.
