Launched in 2005 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the debut of the only Brazilian Formula-1 team, this book details the main moments of this bold and patriotic venture, which brought Brazil's name to the foreign market. Contrary to what is in the national memory, it is a success story, where the idealized goals were achieved. The insistent demand of public opinion for not becoming a winning car was the result of the discredit that some have for everything that is Brazilian, and the unwillingness of others to check in more detail about what is criticized.It documents the events occurring inside and outside the backstage of each Grand Prix from 1975 to 1980 that affected the team's performance on the track. It brings the summary of the best articles, articles, interviews, statements and photos presented in journalistic reports published at the time, showing the reader all the effort and overcoming the setbacks that these fearless brothers went through. This is what made them victorious, whose attitudes we should all aim for. They are winners for being able to disengage from financial interests and easy successes to invest all their energies in the realization of a great dream, an ideal. This is the greatest and best example for all our young people today and tomorrow.This book is more than a record of the truth, it is an important part of the history of Brazil that needed to be retold and rescued. Brazil has a memory and we cannot live only by remembering the bad times. It is time to value our human heritage, to be proud to have the Fittipaldi and one of the largest agro-industrial groups in the world. We should be proud of our initiatives and our attempts to do what is best for us and our country, regardless of the results: not everyone who tries wins; but all who win have tried
