12/07/08 Legendary American team owner Carl Haas was presented with the John Bolster Award for technical achievement on behalf of his Newman/Haas partnership with the late Paul Newman at tonight's Autosport Awards in London.

"It was a great program we had together and we really miss him," he said. "In 24 years we won a lot of races and worked with some great people."

Mario Andretti paid this tribute to his former team boss: "As I look back with fondness on the 12 years I drove for you, I know this honor is truly deserved.

"Your victories and championships were a testament to your passion and love for the sport, and the outstanding team you assembled during the years.

"Congratulations on this lifetime achievement award, well done my friend."
