Enzo Fittipaldi da Cruz (born 18 July 2001) is a Brazilian-American racing driver, the grandson of two time Formula 1 champion Emerson Fittipaldi[1] by his daughter Juliana and Carlos da Cruz, and brother of racing driver Pietro Fittipaldi.[2][3] He currently drives for Charouz Racing System in the FIA Formula 2 Championship.

Career

Lower formulae

In 2016, Fittipaldi graduated to car racing in the Ginetta Junior Championship with Douglas Motorsport.[4]

In 2017, Fittipaldi was signed with Prema Powerteam for the Italian F4 Championship,[5] where he finished 9th in the championship. He remained in the championship for 2018, which he won against drivers like Leonardo Lorandi and Olli Caldwell.[citation needed]

Formula Regional European Championship

In 2019 Fittipaldi competed in the 2019 Formula Regional European Championship for the Prema Powerteam alongside Frederik Vesti and Olli Caldwell. He won two races, scored 11 more podiums and finished 2nd in the championship, only behind Vesti. He also helped his team win the team championship.

FIA Formula 3 Championship

2020

Fittipaldi drove for HWA Racelab in the 2020 FIA Formula 3 Championship, partnering Jake Hughes and Red Bull junior Jack Doohan. With a best race result of fourth at the final race of the season Enzo placed 15th in the standings, eight places behind his vastly more experienced teammate Hughes, but eleven positions ahead of fellow rookie Doohan.

2021

Fittipaldi at the 2021 Spielberg Formula 3 round

In May 2021, it was announced that Fittipaldi would drive for Charouz Racing System in the 2021 FIA Formula 3 Championship, partnering Reshad de Gerus and Logan Sargeant.[6] He scored his first and only podium of the season in race 2 at the Hungaroring.[7] After that round he was replaced in his seat by American Hunter Yeany.[8]

Indy Pro 2000 Championship

In February 2021 it was confirmed that Fittipaldi would compete in the Indy Pro 2000 Championship for RP Motorsport.[9] However, after the first round of the season the Brazilian left the championship. In an interview with his former F3 teammate Jake Hughes in June of that year Fittipaldi confirmed that he would not be returning to the series.[10]

FIA Formula 2 Championship

2021: Partial campaign

In September 2021 it was announced that Fittipaldi would step up to Formula 2 to race throughout the second half of the season with Charouz Racing System, alongside compatriot Guilherme Samaia.[11] Fittipaldi replaced David Beckmann, who was forced to vacate his seat due to financial difficulties, in the Charouz line-up.[12]

A few days before his debut weekend Fittipaldi stated that he "wasn't really expecting" his F2 call-up before it happened, but was "looking forward to [racing at Monza]".[13] His first two rounds were positive, with finishes in eleventh and twelfth in the feature races at Monza and Sochi. Fittipaldi would then go on to take his first points of his Formula 2 career by finishing seventh in the second sprint race in Jeddah.[14]

The following day, Fittipaldi was involved in an incident at the start of the feature race in which he hit the stalled car of Théo Pourchaire from behind. Both drivers were extracted and given medical treatment, before Fittpaldi was transferred to the King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital via helicopter.[15] Later that night his brother Pietro reported that he [Enzo] was awake, and that he had only sustained a fracture of his right heel as well as a cut above his left eye.[16][17]

Fittipaldi was not able to compete in the final round of the 2021 championship due to his injuries, being replaced for the weekend by Richard Verschoor.[18]

2022: Redemption

Fittipaldi driving the Dallara F2 2018 during the 2022 Spielberg Formula 2 round.

On 16 February 2022, Fittipaldi announced that he would remain with Charouz for 2022, partnering Euroformula Open graduate Cem Bölükbaşı.[19] In the Imola feature race, Fittipaldi scored his first podium in a F2 race.

Formula One

In November 2016, Fittipaldi was among five drivers invited to join the Ferrari Driver Academy and was confirmed as a member alongside Marcus Armstrong the following month.[20][21] In the winter of 2021 the Brazilian and Ferrari parted ways.[9]
