Emerson Fittipaldi (1970-1973)

He was the youngest Formula One World Champion when he captured the 1972 crown at the age of 25, a record since broken numerous times.

In 1973 Fittipaldi finished second to Jackie Stewart in the Drivers’ Championship but Team Lotus won the Constructors’ Championship. That season Fittipaldi won three-races and had eight-podium finishes.
