Living racing legend Fittipaldi talks to the IndyCar about motorsport and about his son's career. His first piece of advice comes too late for the Verstappen family's ears. Indeed, Fittipaldi says:
Get the kid a coach.
“It’s best when there’s a coach between (the child) and the dad. When dad coaches, that’s a problem.” About his own son, Fittipaldi said: "“He has a coach; I’m like the advisor. It's best that way."

"It’s better than F1."
