Book Description
It documents the events that took place inside and outside the backstage of each Grand Prix from 1975 to 1980 that affected the team's performance on the tracks. It brings a summary of the best articles, articles, interviews, statements and photos presented in journalistic reports published at the time, showing the reader all the effort and overcoming the setbacks that these fearless brothers went through. This is what made them victorious, whose attitudes we must all aim for. They are winners because they managed to let go of financial interests and easy successes to invest all their energies in the realization of a great dream, an ideal. This is the greatest and best example that they set for all our young people today and tomorrow. The purpose of the sponsorship was to show the world that Brazil was not commanded by chiefs or that the Japanese descended from their liners in rowboats to exchange native products for baffles. That in Brazil there was an industrial park and high-tech development centers, in addition to a brave and fearless people, who are not afraid of adversity. The Fittipaldi brothers showed the world that we, despite the Tupiniquins, can match any enterprise with the same quality and competence as the most developed countries. What we lack is to support our initiatives with respect and patriotism. Demanding victories in such a technologically sophisticated and complex enterprise in the early years, shows that in the field of wisdom and humility we are still underdeveloped.
