and Russian
descent. He was named after American author and philosopher, Ralph Waldo Emerson
. Both his parents had raced production cars shortly after the Second World War and Wilson Sr was also responsible for the first Mil Milhas
race in 1956, in São Paulo, having been inspired by the 1949 Italian

driver Christian Fittipaldi
. He was married to Maria Helena from 1970 to 1982. They had three children together, Juliana, Jayson and Tatiana. He was married again, to Teresa, in the mid 1980s.

In his youth in Brazil, Emerson was known as 'Rato' - mouse, which contrasts with 'Tigrão' - big tiger - for his brother. By the end of his career he was most commonly known as 'Emmo' in the United States and the UK.
In September 1997, Fittipaldi, while recovering from injuries in a crash at Michigan International Speedway
a year earlier, was flying his private plane across his orange tree farm estate in São Paulo, Brazil. The plane lost power and plunged 300 feet (91.4 m) to the ground. He suffered serious back injuries. He recovered, and became a born again Christian

s, and aged 16 hydrofoil
s. While racing one day, his brother Wilson
took off at 70 mi/h and landed upside down - they both decided that although he had survived, they would no longer race hydrofoils and moved onto to racing karts.
The pair moved to racing Formula Vee
s, and built up a company with their parents. In his second season in single-seaters, Fittipaldi won the Brazilian Formula Vee title at 21 years old. He left for Europe in 1969, with the ambition to convince team owners of his talent in three months. After some podiums and his first victories in Formula Ford
, Fittipaldi was first trained and then subsequently engaged by the Jim Russell Driving School Formula Three
team.

Fittipaldi continued to win, drawing the attention of Colin Chapman
, who was looking for a driver to support the Austrian Jochen Rindt
in the 1970 Formula One season. The team's No 3 driver, he ended up becoming No 1 driver after Rindt was killed at Monza
and John Miles
left the team. Thrust into the spotlight by leading F1's top team, he proved up to the task and won for Lotus
in its first race post-Rindt.
In his first full year as Lotus' lead driver in 1971, Fittipaldi finished sixth in the drivers' championship as the team further developed the previous season's Lotus 72
. Armed with what was arguably the greatest Formula one design of all time, the Lotus 72D, Fittipaldi proved dominant in 1972 as he won five of 11 races and easily won the F1 Drivers' Championship from Jackie Stewart
by 16 points. At 25 he was then the youngest champion in F1 history. It appeared he might do it again in 1973. But after three wins from four attempts with the 72D, he began to struggle in the new 72E that was unveiled mid-year. It resulted in the reverse of the previous year, Stewart beating Fittipaldi for the Drivers Championship by 16 points; though the combination of the 72D and E's points earnings were enough to gain Team Lotus the 1973 F1 Manufacturers Championship.
Fittipaldi left Lotus to sign with the promising McLaren team. Driving the highly efficient McLaren M23
, he had three victories in 1974, reached the podium four other times, and beat out Clay Regazzoni
in a close battle for his second championship. The following season, he notched two more victories and four other podiums, but was second to a dominant Niki Lauda
. However, at the height of his F1 success, Fittipaldi shocked everyone by leaving McLaren to race for older brother Wilson Fittipaldi

team.
It was hardly a world class organization and the double champion regularly struggled, even failing to qualify for three races in his time there. Despite this, he remained with the team for five seasons but only managed a best finish of second. Emerson Fittipaldi decided to retire from racing at the end of 1980. He has since said that his last two years in Formula One were very unhappy: "I was too involved in the problems of trying to make the team work, and I neglected my marriage and my personal life", although at the time he cited the deaths of many of his colleagues as his reason. He was only 33, but had been racing in Formula One for a decade. He had failed to finish seven of the last ten races that year and had several times been outpaced by his Finnish teammate Keke Rosberg
(a future champion himself). He moved into the management of the team alongside his brother. The team struggled on for another two years with minimal sponsorship, going into receivership at the end of 1982.
as an injury replacement. He stayed five years with the team, recording six victories and solid finishes in the overall standings. In 1989 he had five wins and finished in the top five in every race he completed, giving him a CART championship. Among his wins was a dominant performance in the Indianapolis 500
where he led 158 of 200 laps and won by two laps, but only after a dramatic duel with Al Unser, Jr.
in the closing laps of the race. With both drivers a commanding six laps ahead of third place Raul Boesel
, Unser ran down Fittipaldi after a late-race restart and passed him for the lead on lap 196. Three laps later, Fittipaldi used lap traffic to his advantage to pull alongside Unser on the backstretch. Neither driver would give way, and the two cars touched wheels as they went through turn three side by side. Unser's car spun out of control to hit the outside wall, while Fittipaldi was able to maintain sufficient control to keep his car moving straight. In spite of the altercation, Unser saluted Fittipaldi from the infield with a double thumbs-up sign as he brought his car through turns three and four on the subsequent caution-slowed final lap.
Roger Penske
hired Emmo for his racing team
in 1990 and he continued to be among the top drivers in CART, winning a race with Penske for six straight years. In 1993
he added a second Indianapolis 500 victory by taking the lead from defending Formula One World Champion Nigel Mansell
on lap 185 and holding it for the remainder. The race was more well known for him breaking Indy victory lane tradition when he drank a celebratory bottle of orange juice instead of the traditional bottle of milk. He was only the second driver to not drink milk at Indy since the tradition was founded in 1936 (and firmly established in 1956). Fittipaldi owned several orange groves in his native Brazil, and wanted to promote the citrus industry. He was widely criticized and ridiculed for the action, even though he later took a sip of milk (after the television cameras were off).
Fan reaction to the milk snub was highly negative, and he was booed a week later at Milwaukee
. In the years following, many fans continued to hold the action against him. In interviews since, Fittipaldi explained his action, and apologised for the wave of negativity that followed. Fittipaldi returned to Indianapolis to drive the Chevrolet Corvette
Pace Car for the 2008 Indianapolis 500
. Despite coming clean, he was again booed and heckled by some fans during the Public Drivers' Meeting.
Approaching 50, he was still with Champ Car
in 1996 when an injury at the Michigan International Speedway
ended his career. Fittipaldi did not return to the series as a driver after the injury but in 2003 he made a return to Champcars as a team owner.
In 2005 Fittipaldi made a surprise return to competitive racing in the Grand Prix Masters
event held at Kyalami
in South Africa
, finishing second behind former CART
sparring partner Nigel Mansell
.
In 2008, Emerson and his brother Wilson entered the Brazilian GT3 Championship, driving a Porsche 997 GT3 for the WB Motorsports team.. In 2011 he started embracing social media by opening up an official twitter
