Yeah I personally wouldn't regret adding an Indy 500 and Indycar titles to my 2 F1 titles, rather than just becoming a 3 time F1 champion, if I were Fittipaldi. Nothing wrong with those!
Unbelievable to think he was still racing at the front of Indycars into the 90s (till 1996), and still winning every year till his final season. That's 26 years of F1 to Indycar retirement. If he'd stayed in F1 that long he'd have raced from the likes of Jack Brabham, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, would have out-lasted the greats of Piquet, Senna, Prost, Mansell and then competed against Schumacher and Damon Hill. Pretty incredible. He wasn't as fast in the 90s as he was in the 70s, though - well past his prime speed.
