Sauber Academy racer Emerson Fittipaldi Jr. will take the plunge this year and attempt to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father when he joins the ranks of the Danish F4 championship.
The 14-year-old charger, whose lineage oddly makes him the uncle of fellow racers Pietro and Enzo Fittipaldi - Emerson Fittipaldi's grandsons, will dovetail his current OK karting programme in the US with 21 F4 races spread across seven events in Denmark and Sweden.
"I look forward to getting my formula car debut and getting to know the Danish racetracks," said the teen with the good genes.
"Even though I do not know much about Denmark, the series and tracks, I believe that this is a great opportunity to learn a lot from the Scandinavian drivers, and I look very much forward to that."
