F1Weekly Podcast # 883
WE HAVE A SPECIAL INTERVIEW PODCAST NASIR HAMEED EXCLUSIVE WITH ENZO FITTIPALDI GRAND SON OF FORMULA 1 WORLD CHAMPION EMERSON FITTIPALDI!
Fittipaldi, the 19-year-old grandson of two-time Formula 1 champion, two-time Indy 500 winner and 1989 Indy car champion Emerson Fittipaldi, has just completed a four-year spell in European open-wheel racing.
Enzo, whose brother Pietro ran a part-time schedule for Dale Coyne Racing in the 2018 IndyCar Series, won the Italian Formula 4 championship that year, while in 2019 he finished as runner-up in the Formula Regional European points table.
Fittipaldi’s success means Prema drivers have won four of the five titles in the series’ history, with three of those going to Ferrari Driver Academy racers – as Lance Stroll had won the inaugural trophy and Marcus Armstrong triumphed last year.
Following a season at HWA Race Lab in the FIA Formula 3 Championship, Miami-born Fittipaldi is returning to the U.S. to compete in Indy Pro 2000 for Fabio Pampado’s RP Motorsports squad.
He will also have available to him assistance from Andretti Autosport in terms of driver coaching, fitness training and setup advice – as well as a guaranteed ride for 2022 in Indy Lights.
“I am very happy to announce my move to the United States in a championship as competitive as the Indy Pro 2000, which is one of the main ones on the already established Road to Indy. I want to thank Michael Andretti and Fabio Pampado for this amazing opportunity. I will continue to work hard every day to fulfill this opportunity and to become one of the top drivers in the series.
