Among the drivers present in this round of Lonato, some youngsters are following the footsteps of their famous parents in international motorsport, like the two times Formula 1 World Champion and two times winner of the Indianapolis 500, the Brazilian Emerson Fittipaldi, who is supporting his 9yrs old son “Emmo” Emerson in Mini Rok.
