With Andretti Global still trying (and currently failing) to gain a place on the Formula 1 grid, And Colossally That’s History! takes a look at the history of American teams in grand prix racing.
Hosts Matt Bishop and Richard Williams tell the tale of the American upstarts who shocked the French establishment in the 1920s, delve into the story of the billionaire named Lance (no, not that one) who hobnobbed with movie stars before starting his own team in the late 1950s, and look back on the rise and fall of the first iteration of Haas - a team completely unconnected to today's team of the same name.
Richard also provides his personal recollections of watching Dan Gurney win the first race for an American constructor at Spa in 1967, while Matt has another boatload of anorak facts about everyone from Scirocco to Shadow and from Penske to Parnelli.
There's also chat about the previous time Michael Andretti was blocked from competing in Formula 1, the failed USF1 bid of 2010, and Ford's involvement in F1 via Jaguar Racing - so stand by for another Niki Lauda impression!
