Brazilian former race car driver Wilson Fittipaldi Jr. might make a pit stop in Miami jail after dodging a $7 million civil judgment against him and swerving around opposing counsel’s efforts to serve him with court documents—including by Facebook Messenger.
U.S. District Judge Ursula Ungaro issued a warrant for Fittipaldi’s arrest Wednesday after her October decision to fine Fittipaldi $100 a day for contempt of court did not motivate the 73-year-old Sao Paulo resident to appear in her Miami courtroom. Fittipaldi was a Formula One racer in the 1970s, and his younger brother Emerson and son Christian were also prominent race car drivers.
