Not exactly a Retro Car, ut instead a Retro driver instead. I was lucky enough to be in Monaco at the weekend, and was distracted by the delight of a Ferrari Daytona SP3 (a mere snip at $2.3 million each). This eye-wateringly expensive car (with Swiss Plates) was driven into the Casino area and several members of the public has selfies with the driver. I recognise him, and believe he's a former F1 driver, but because he's a lot older now, I can't place him. Can anyone identify him? It's been bugging me since I saw him...  He's the older guy in the middle!  Thanks in advance  PS I will upload some pics from the trip in due course. |

They're not Swiss plates - they're Czech.

My first thought was Derick Warwick, but I'm not sure, so I'll stick with it anyway. Have a free retro car incase I'm wrong.  |

Google Lens suggests it's Mario Andretti, which might be true  |

Google Lens suggests it's Mario Andretti, which might be true Mario's 83. I know he looks good for his age, but I'd say this chap is mid to late 60s. He seemed pretty well-known though. I'm not convinced! |

Deffo not Lawrence Stroll. He owns Aston Martin and races against Ferrari, so you wouldn't see him in a Ferrari.

Sure as hell looks like him, and he has a MASSIVE Ferrari collection  If you Google "Lawrence Stroll Ferrari" you get: "Stroll has a large car collection mostly consisting of Ferraris, including a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO, a 1958 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, and a 1967 Ferrari 330 P4." |

If that's not Andretti and the car has Czech plates it might be the owner of an old racecar that was once seen on the Autobahn. And / or the Czech who drove a bugatti at 400+ km/h on an Autobahn near Wolfsburg. link |

Nah, Stroll is an ugly mf. That guy is way better looking.   |

I have spoken to a friend who's in the know, and he's stumped, so he's asking his motorsport pals if they know.
I found some more info out about the car - it was purchased in April 2023, registered in Prague, but is kept in Provence. I am guessing that the owner lives in Monaco, presumably due to some sort of tax "arrangement". And the colour is Rosso Ferrari F1-75 apparently! But I still don't know who's driving it...
