Fittipaldi
Brazilian · raced 1975–1982
Fittipaldi Automotive was a Brazilian Formula 1 constructor founded by brothers Emerson and Wilson Fittipaldi. Active from 1975 to 1982, it was a unique effort to establish a genuinely Brazilian team on the world stage, initially known as Copersucar-Fittipaldi due to sponsorship. Despite Emerson's two world championships as a driver, the team struggled for consistent success, securing 3 podiums but no wins across 101 starts. The project ultimately proved financially unsustainable, but remains a notable, ambitious chapter in Formula 1 history.
