Galahad,

I'm not sure that you can count Andretti as a teammate of Amon. Mario drove for the STP team, while Amon drove for March Engineering. Admitedly, both cars were fundamentally the same, however.

 

[The Artist.....]

... That has put the cat amongst the pigeons....

BUT - as a saviour, you could consider Amon - Ickx (Ferrari, 1968)
Ickx - Andretti (1971).... and the link holds up!

 

[Galahad]

Mario's car was still run by the works, like those of Amon and Siffert, I believe, despite the difference in sponsorship. Unlike Jackie Stewart's car, which was run by Ken Tyrrell of course.

 

[siffert_fan]

Galahad,

Totally off-topic, but an interesting thing about the Tyrrell team was that they received upgrades from the March factory BEFORE the factory team.For the Dutch GP, Stewart was given a lightweight chassis, incorporating more magnesium and titanium, while Amon and Siffert had to muddle through with old, overweight version. Imagine how pleased THEY must have been with that arrangement.

 

[Galahad]

That whole arrangement stunk to high heaven. Max Mosley still owes Amon about two-thirds of his agreed retainer for the 1970 season...allegedly.
