Pietro, the Haas F1 Team driver and Enzo, the Charouz F2 Racing team driver become Stake.com’s Brazilian representatives for the 2022 renewal, joining the brand’s elite roster of athletes and clubs from across world sport.
One of the most talented young drivers on the circuit, and the grandson of two-time F1 world champion Emerson Fittipaldi, Pietro made his F1 debut in 2020 deputising for the injured Romain Grosjean. Last season the Brazilian combined his role as Haas F1 Team reserve with a successful spell in the 2021 IndyCar Series, competing in both Texas and the world-famous Indy500.

Strengthening their association with one of the most famous families in motorsport, Stake.com will also be working with Pietro’s brother, F2 driver Enzo Fittipaldi, during the 2022 championship. The pair will be co-creating content and hosting regular Twitch streams, offering their unique insight into F1 as all the action unfolds both on and off the track.
The partnership with Pietro Fittipaldi marks Stake.com’s first in F1 and further extends the brand’s sport sponsorship portfolio, which includes global football icon Sergio Aguero, UFC superstars Francis Ngannou and Israel Adesanya and a club-record partnership with Watford FC as shirt sponsors for the 2021/22 season.
Speaking of the partnership, Pietro Fittipaldi said: “It’s a real honour for me to be joining Stake.com’s team of sport stars and becoming their first F1 representative. I can’t wait for lights out in Bahrain this weekend. We will be taking the fans behind the scenes and sharing my racing experiences as we all gear up for another epic season of F1.”
Enzo Fittipaldi added: “Working with Stake.com is an amazing opportunity for my brother and I to share our passion for motorsport with our fans. We’re just as competitive off the track as we are on it so look out for lots of fun content from us, especially on Twitch, as we celebrate the best of F1 and F2 over the course of the season.”
Dominic Rae, Sponsorships Manager, Stake.com, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Pietro and Enzo Fittipaldi to the Stake.com team. They are two of the most exciting young drivers around and come from a family steeped in F1 history. We look forward to working with them on a range of content initiatives over the coming months to bring all the drama of this season’s championship to life for F1 fans in Brazil and beyond.”
