 F1A&G - Emerson Fittipaldi
With his first crown at age 25, Fittipaldi nonetheless drove for years in the shadow of Jackie Stewart, who dominated the early 1970s with Team Tyrrell.
But the Copersucar (renamed Fittipaldi in 1980) was never competitive — with a 2nd in the 1978 Belgian GP and a 3rd at Long Beach in 1980 being their best results — and the team was disbanded after the 1982 season.
This photo of Fittipaldi in the JPS Lotus is from the the season-opening 1972 Argentine Grand Prix at Buenos Aires, a race in which he retired with suspension problems after 61 laps.

 8W - What? - Fittipaldi
In 1975 the elder and less talented of the Fittipaldi brothers managed to sway Brazilian sugar conglomerate Copersucar into supporting his F1 project, which effectively was yet another kit-car project spurned by a driver who was passed over by the established teams.

With the F6 proving a dud on its Kyalami debut, Fittipaldi had to rely on the ageing F5A to do the job, and while its form had been encouraging during the 1978 season, it was less-than-average a year later.

 pitpass - the latest, hottest F1 & A1GP news
God forgive me for saying this, but, sadly, Chris Amon is just a little too old to seriously consider taking part in GP Masters, though his many fans - of which I proud to admit I am one - are confident that the Kiwi could 'see off' Messrs Mansell, Fittipaldi and Jones.
Amon first raced in an F1 Grand Prix in 1963 (Spa Francorchamps), and though just over three years older than Emerson Fittipaldi, it was 1970 (Britain) before the Brazilian made his F1 debut.
Amon's F1 career, which began with a Lola entered by Reg Parnell, and ended with a one-off drive for Walter Wolf in the Williams in 1976, included time at Ferrari, March, Matra, Martini, Ensign, and even a short-lived stint as constructor.

 Classic Driver: Emerson Fittipaldi
Taking over as number one driver for Team Lotus after the death of Jochen Rindt in 1970, Emerson Fittipaldi won two F1 World Championships — with Lotus in 1972 and McLaren in 1974.
