Son of Brazilian Formula 1 Legend to Race in F2 in 2026, at 18, After Skipping F3. Meet Emerson Fittipaldi Jr.’s Plans.

Direct Leap from Eurocup 3 to Formula 2

Currently racing in Eurocup 3, a base category of European motorsport, Emerson Jr. has demonstrated consistency and maturity.

Despite the 13th position in the championship, his technical performance and reputable name have opened doors for a direct advancement to F2.

The choice not to go through Formula 3 raises expectations and also pressures, as many drivers proceed through this step before reaching the higher category. However, Emmo has shown confidence in the partnership with AIX Racing and is betting on his quick adaptation.

AIX Racing: Focus on Rising Talents

AIX Racing, a Formula 2 team, has adopted a strategy of strengthening through young prospects. The hiring of Emerson Fittipaldi Jr. represents not only a bet on talent but also on the visibility that the Fittipaldi name brings to the team.

In an official statement, the team highlighted that it is excited about the Brazilian’s development and plans to integrate him into tests and simulations throughout 2025.

The team sees the driver as a key piece in competing for prominent positions in the upcoming season.

DNA of Speed: Inheritance from Formula 1

Being the child of a Formula 1 legend carries weight and admiration. Emerson Fittipaldi Sr., world champion in 1972 and 1974, is one of the greatest figures in national and international motorsport. His legacy now echoes on the Formula 2 grid with the arrival of his son.

Despite the inevitable comparisons, Emerson Jr. seeks to build his own story on the racetrack. In interviews, the driver often emphasizes the significance of his father’s influence but makes it clear that his goal is to achieve results on his own merit.

The Future of F1 Begins in F2

Formula 2 is considered the gateway to the elite of motorsport. Several current Formula 1 names, such as Charles Leclerc and George Russell, have passed through the category.

Now, at just 18 years old, Emerson Fittipaldi Jr. joins this select group.

The 2026 season promises to be decisive for the future of the young Brazilian driver. AIX Racing’s bet reignites the dream of seeing another Fittipaldi on the F1 grid — now in a new generation.
