André Guelfi was a French racing driver who competed at semi-professional level, a tier at which drivers win in pro-am and one-make classes and run mid-pack among full professionals. His Racer Rating of 3,407 places him in that band. Guelfi's career on record consisted of a single Formula 1 start in 1958 for Cooper, finishing 22nd. He also competed in non-championship Formula 1 races, though detailed results from those events are not included in this database. His only classified world championship appearance yielded no points and no podium.[1]

Guelfi's single outing in the world championship put him against the strongest field in international motorsport. In that 1958 race he finished ahead of Graham Hill, a three-time world champion and elite-level professional driver, a result that stands as the most competitive outcome of his recorded career. His average finishing position across all classified starts was 15th, reflecting the steep challenge posed by contemporary Formula 1 grids.[2]

Guelfi raced for Cooper, a team that won races in the world championship and fielded 34 drivers across its history, including world champions. His career ended in 1958. He lived to become the oldest surviving Formula 1 driver, a distinction he held from 2015 until his death.
