Emerson Fittipaldi was the youngest world champion at the time when he won his first title at the age of 25, driving for Lotus in 1972. He followed that up with a second championship in 1974 after a switch to McLaren, and it appeared records were there to be broken for the Brazilian. However, family loyalty saw him join his brother's Fittipaldi Automotive team - also initially known by the sponsor's name Copersucar - in 1976. James Hunt replaced him at McLaren and won the drivers' championship that year, while Fittipaldi - who had enjoyed a run of 1st, 2nd, 1st, 2nd, in the drivers' championship - scored just two further podiums before retiring from F1 in 1980.
