Azdrubal Fontes was a Uruguayan driver who competed at semi-professional level; his rating of 3,382 places him in the band where paid drivers race part-time or in secondary categories, typically mid-pack among full professionals. His only recorded outing came in 1959, when he started a single Formula 1 race for Maserati and finished twentieth.[1]
The single-race record offers little ground for assessment. Fontes made his appearance during an era when grid sizes were larger and entry-level machinery was available to drivers with backing but limited prior single-seater experience. Maserati's own presence in the field that season was marginal; the team would accumulate nine wins across its entire history in the database, fielding a roster predominantly composed of drivers competing at his level or below. His entry into Formula 1 represented a rare opportunity that went unrealised, and no further racing activity appears on record beyond that initial start.[2]
