Pietro Fittipaldi had talks with Haas before leg-break crash
BARCELONA, Spain -- Haas was in talks with Brazilian driver Pietro Fittipaldi about a 2018 test before the crash which left him with two broken legs.
Fittipaldi, grandson of two-time world champion and Indy 500 winner Emerson, suffered a broken right ankle and a fractured left leg during the season-opening World Endurance Championship race at Spa-Francorchamps. He had also been due to make his Indy 500 debut later this month but now looks set to be sidelined until July at the earliest.
It has emerged Fittipaldi was also pushing for an opportunity to secure his first opportunity in Formula One, with the grid's newest team.
