Enzo’s grandfather Emerson Fittipaldi is a two-time F1 World Champion
Emerson Fittipaldi is a retired Brazilian automobile racing driver who won both the Formula One World Championship and the Indianapolis 500 twice each and the CART championship once.
He enjoyed considerable success with Lotus, winning the World Drivers’ Championship in 1972 at 25. He was the youngest ever F1 world champion, and he held the record for 33 years. He later moved to McLaren for 1974, winning the title once again.
He surprised the paddock by moving to his brother’s Fittipaldi Automotive team before the 1976 season, being replaced by James Hunt. Success eluded him during his final years in Formula One, with the Fittipaldi cars not competitive enough to fight for victories. Fittipaldi took two more podium finishes, before retiring in 1980.
Following his Formula One career, Fittipaldi moved to the American CART series, achieving successful results, including the 1989 CART title and two wins at the Indianapolis 500 in 1989 and 1993.
