🇪🇸 Alex Soler-Roig

Alex Soler-Roig is a retired Spanish racing driver who competed in Formula 1 during the 1971 and 1972 seasons. His record shows six starts across two campaigns with BRM, yielding no wins, podiums, or championship points. He was primarily active in a competitive field that included other drivers of the era, though his results did not place him among the front runners of the grid. His rating of 6,528 places him in the elite professional band, a level that ordinarily describes drivers capable of winning races at the top level or regularly competing at the sharp end; this reflects that his competitive presence was registered at the world championship series itself, not his points-scoring record.[1]

The record indicates that Soler-Roig also drove for March-Ford machinery during his F1 career, accounting for four of his six starts. His team was not a championship-winning outfit; the broader March-Ford program across the index shows no race victories and fielded a range of drivers, with Niki Lauda as its strongest performer on the Elo scale. Soler-Roig's final recorded F1 appearance came in 1972, when he finished 22nd in two rounds. He has since retired from active competition, though vintage racing machinery associated with the era of his career, including Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz sportscar entries, has appeared in historical racing events and museum collections in recent years.[2]
