In 1975, Emerson Fittipaldi was at the peak of his powers and had a competitive McLaren. Sure, he'd just lost the title to Niki Lauda, but if McLaren could sort it out for 1976 he would be in contention to take back the title and go up to three for himself, and if history repeated itself, it would mean all three Brazilian champions would have three titles.
But he gave it all up, to join his brother's team. His Brazilian team.
National pride, brothers working together, it was both of those, apparently. Wish I could give you a story about him falling out with someone or a dodgy contract but that's what it was. It was all about family. And who needs titles when you have family? Actually, should that be the title? I think it should be.
Anyway, it was a challenge that didn't go the distance. But they still managed a second place. Most of the other underfunded teams can't say that. So how did they do? Let's have a look...
