Pietro Fittipaldi

Pietro Fittipaldi is a Brazilian driver from the famous Fittipaldi racing family. He made his Formula 1 race appearances for Haas in 2020 after Romain Grosjean’s serious Bahrain accident, contesting the Sakhir and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix. Thrown into the car at short notice, he completed both weekends and provided the team with a reliable replacement. Fittipaldi’s wider career has included IndyCar, endurance racing and Super Formula, while in F1 he has mainly contributed as a reserve and test driver. His role in the 2020s highlights the importance of prepared backups in a small team environment.
