Pietro Fittipaldi da Cruz (born 25 June 1996)[1] is a Brazilian racing driver, and the grandson of two time Formula 1 champion Emerson Fittipaldi.[2]

Fittipaldi began his racing career in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series, winning the track championship at Hickory Motor Speedway in 2011, before moving to Europe to pursue a career in open-wheeled racing in 2013.[3] In 2014, he won the Protyre Formula Renault Championship, clinching the title with one race remaining.[4]

In October 2014, Fittipaldi was one of four drivers to be invited to join the Ferrari Driver Academy.[5]

In February 2018, Fittipaldi was named a part-time driver of the No. 19 Honda for Dale Coyne Racing in the Verizon IndyCar Series.[6]
