Emerson Fittipaldi: Last News

Formula One champion Emerson Fittipaldi has conceded his vision on Ferrari was 'wrong' having witnessed Red Bull's valiant comeback in the last two races at Imola and Miami. The title rivals took maximum points in Ferrari's home race with Max Verstappen winning the Sprint and the race itself, as well as securing the fastest lap, while Sergio Perez came in second.Similar success was enjoyed by Red Bull in Miami, where Verstappen won for the second race in a row and, while Perez could only come fourth following issues with his car, it left Charles Leclerc's lead at just 19 points but Ferrari's advantage in the Constructor's Championship lies in single figures.That has seen Fittipaldi rethink his assessments on the battle for the title after he admitted he never expected such a strong response from Red Bull following the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.“I think I had the wrong opinion previously.

Formula One champion Emerson Fittipaldi has backed McLaren driver Lando Norris to emulate his career, stating the Brit has 'world champion material'.Norris have five podium finishes to his name so far in his career, though he is still seeking a maiden victory, but is widely regarded to be one of the most exciting young drivers on the grid. Last September, he was agonisingly close to a first win in Russia but late rain and poor decision making ultimately cost him that glory - though he finished a career-high sixth in the Driver's Championship last term. It's widely expected that Norris' first win isn't too far away and Brazilian Fittipaldi believes even bigger success is on the horizon.

Formula One season, there's nothing to separate Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen at the top of the drivers' championship. For the first time since Emerson Fittipaldi and Clay Regazzoni in 1974, the top two in the standings will go to the final race level on points, knowing that a single error could undo a whole season's work.If last weekend's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix proved one thing, it's that neither Hamilton or Verstappen will give the other an inch in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.
