(GMM) Michael Andretti says F1 kissed America goodbye by allowing a six car shambles to descend on the US grand prix this month.
The son of 1978 world champion Mario, and Ayrton Senna's short-lived McLaren teammate in 1993, told the Toronto Sun that it would 'never have happened' in the States.
''You can't treat fans that way,'' 42-year-old Andretti said. ''We think about the fans.
''Over there the fans take a back seat to the politics. I was over there a full year, so what happened didn't surprise me.
''It's a different world with ... completely different priorities.''
Andretti's grand son Marco Andretti won the IRL Infiniti Pro Series USGP support race during the chaotic weekend
