    A simple champion

    A documentary about great Brazilian racer Fittipaldi that was directed by Hector Babenco and Roberto Farias is definitely something not to be ignored, despite not being a very well known film. It is slightly tepid and quite old-school, but brings a lot of information about Fittipaldi's carrer, the constraints he faced and his fast tise and achievements until being F1 champions. There is some information about the dangers of car racing, with some friends, antecessors or colleagues of him dying in race accidents. The most interesting element of the documentary, however, is perhaps the human one: by watching it - with several footage and testimonies of Emerson Fittipaldi himself - spectator can notice that he was simple, humble and low profile. These are traits not always found among top level racer, including Senna and Piquet. The interviews with Fittipaldi's wife are very funny and interesting, major moments in the film.
