Three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves has been a father for only two weeks, but he already has career advice for his daughter.

Castroneves says he won't encourage Mikaella to drive a race car. He says she should be a golfer or an attorney instead.

The Brazilian driver alluded to last year's acquittal on U.S. tax-evasion charges by quipping that "you always need an attorney."

Castroneves was at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Tuesday for a ceremony to unveil his likeness on the Borg-Warner Trophy that commemorates his 2009 Indy 500 victory.

The first foreigner to win Indy three times says he is looking forward to competing for a fourth victory this season. Mikaella and girlfriend Adriana Henao will travel with him to cheer him on.
