Now it transpires that Wilson Fittipaldi Junior, brother of Emerson and former Brabham F1 driver, also died.
Wilson was the team owner and team creator of the Fittipaldi (Copersucar sponsored) team. His brother also drove for that team off course. Wilson Fittipaldi, like his brother, is also a legend in Brazil. Their father (also named Wilson, hence why his son is often called Wilson Jr.) was a famous sports journalist who also started racing and both his sons became F1 drivers.
Wilson Jr. is the father of former F1 (Minardi & Arrows Footwork) & IndyCar driver Christian Fittipaldi.
