Stake.com adds Fittipaldi brothers to partnership roster

Crypto-first operator Stake.com has announced a double partnership with racing drivers Enzo and Pietro Fittipaldi ahead of the return of the F1 season this weekend.

Haas F1 team driver Pietro and F2 driver Enzo have both signed up as Stake.com’s Brazilian representatives for 2022, becoming the latest names to join the company’s burgeoning sponsorship portfolio.

Pietro will provide analysis and insight via monthly Twitch streams while Enzo will join to co-create content as the F1 season unfolds.

The deal marks firm’s first foray into F1 and the brothers join Stake’s sponsorship stable alongside ex-Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, UFC stars Francis Ngannou and Israel Adesanya as well as Premier League football club Watford, for whom Stake.com are shirt sponsors.

Speaking about 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. 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 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, Stake.com sponsorships manager, commented: “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.”

Pietro and Enzo Fittipaldi are both grandsons of two-time F1 champion Emerson Fittipaldi.
