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