Romain Grosjean’s absence from this weekend and his replacement by Formula 1 rookie Pietro Fittipaldi are discussed in a bonus episode of The Race F1 Podcast.
In this special ‘Extra’ edition, Edd Straw is joined by The Race’s junior single-seater expert Valentin Khorounzhiy and veteran Brazilian motorsport journalist Lito Cavalcanti to take a look at Fittipaldi and the impact F1’s latest driver could make.
First there’s an in-depth look at Fittipaldi’s eclectic career, which is remarkably varied for a 24-year-old.
There’s then a discussion about Fittipaldi’s importance to Brazil and the legend of the legendary surname with Cavalcanti, who first saw Pietro racing in karts 15 years ago.
