Peterson's main drawback though was his lack of technical brain. He was lucky he was team mates with both Fittipaldi and Andretti, who helped develop Lotus cars into winners. It's interesting that when he was partnered with Jacky Ickx, things went downhill, as Jacky too wasn't interested in testing and the like. That shouldn't though detract from Ronnie's great talent, he would push a dust cart 100% if he could!
