some of the best sideburns to ever race

First of all: Brilliant, amazing footage. Second: Too bad for us brazilians to have forgotten this driver. Fittipaldi was a trailblazer and a truly sportsman.

Emerson won the WDC twice with diferents teams, raced in his brother team and won indy WDC and Indianapolis 500 twice. What a legend. 🐀

Emerson Fittipaldi: The First Brazilian, The Young Champion, The Werewolf, The Entrepeneur, The Door-Opener to many brazilian drivers to race at F1 and F-Indy later. A pity that brazilian media used its power to destroy the Copersucar Dream. Emmo is a legend!

Without Emerson Fittipaldi we would never have Ayrton Senna or Nelson Piquet.

I am super fan. No matter what they say, he is the greatest driver of Brazilian history. 2 f1, Indy 500 and Indy champion

[wesleylira]

The Fittipaldi's family is one of the most importants in the motorsport history. Emerson, Wilson, Christian, Pietro, Enzo, Emmo, Papis...

[LauttenVideodump]

Twice champion in F1, twice in Indy500 and once in Formula Indy – and he drove for his brother's Formula One team, Copersucar, first and unique Brazilian team.
Emerson and his family have all my respect. I hope his grandchildren Pietro and Enzo can become titular F1 drivers some day :)

Unfortunately Brazilian people – generalizing – only thinks about Senna (he was epic, i know, but not the unique who represented well the country)

I got a chance to race go karts against Emersons most recent son, and it was truely astonishing how humble he is, he was just like every other Dad, just excited to see his fun race, and had zero entitlement on the grid

[zxr-cade]

Formula 1’s original Brazilian

I love Emmo he’s so full of joy and is a bit of a comedian too plus he is a fantastic racing driver

To be able to win the world championship twice and the IndyCar championship in 1989 is very special

Ayrton Senna may be the greatest Brazilian racing ace but Emerson Fittipaldi is my favourite Brazilian racing legend🇧🇷🏎🇧🇷🏎🇧🇷🏎🇧🇷🏎🇧🇷

2 WDC (for different teams), 2 runner-ups(for different teams) and saved his fallen teammate's WDC in his first year. I mean... The best first 5 years of any driver ever. Emerson literally deserves a lot more credit and praise.

Also, chose to run for his brother team, not getting paid, raising debt, stayed there for another 5 years and took 3 podiums for what was the worst car on the grid.

I mean... Jackie Stewart loved the guy, Lauda loved the guy, Piquet and Senna loved the guy... This must mean something.

Emerson is a treasure!

[sonqasawa]

The driver that caused me to fall in love with Formula One. Will always be one of his grestest fans.

[keithrichards]

And lastly, he still launches his own GT car designed by Pininfarina. What a life, ladies and gentlemen. Haven't him dived into the Copersucar adventure, surely he would've achieved 1 or 2 more F1 titles, before the ground-effect era. Such an underrated legend.

[FUNDOSOBERANOMALLER]

é o pioneiro nas conquistas do🇧🇷 na F1. não fosse seu sonho de uma equipe própria, poderia ser tetra campeão . Mostrou seu talento até os 46 anos na Indy. e andando forte. Um amante do esporte. e um grande Patriota.

[FM-xobr]

Emmo only really had a competitive F1 car during four seasons, winning the championship twice and coming second twice. Cool, calm, technically gifted, and a master in car setup. He went on to Indycar to prove it all over again in the 80’s and early 90’s. Not Senna, not Piquet, Emerson was and still is my favorite Brazilian driver.
