LONDON: Brazilian Emerson Fittipaldi, once Formula One's youngest champion, is backing Lewis Hamilton to win the title and take the record from Fernando Alonso.
McLaren's first world champion, who took his second crown with the team in 1974 after a first with Lotus as a 25-year-old in 1972, told Reuters on Tuesday that his money was on the team's 22-year-old British rookie.
