The "MA" in "MAC-26" is a reference to early Cadillac F1 team advisor and 1978 Formula 1 champion Mario Andretti.
Cadillac is naming its first Formula 1 car in honor of 1978 champion Mario Andretti, who calls it the “ultimate compliment” ahead of the team's inaugural race next week at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix. F1's new 11th team announced on Friday its car will be the MAC-26, short for Mario Andretti Cadillac, for the most recent American F1 champion.
The Cadillac MAC-26 likely won't be quite as successful as Super Mario was, but just getting this car to the grid with his name on it is so great.
