## Bio

Emerson Fittipaldi stepped into Team Lotus in 1970 as a third driver and became its lead by his fifth Grand Prix after Jochen Rindt's death at Monza. Two years later he won the World Drivers' Championship with Lotus, then moved to McLaren and won again in 1974, delivering the team's first Constructors' title in the process. He stunned the paddock by leaving for Fittipaldi Automotive in 1976 — his brother's outfit, where James Hunt took his McLaren seat — but the cars never had the pace; he scraped two more podiums before retiring in 1980. He turned to American open-wheel racing and found speed again: the 1989 CART title, Indianapolis 500 wins in 1989 and 1993. At 67, he ran the 2014 6 Hours of São Paulo.
