Bernard Collomb was a professional driver who raced in Formula 1 during the early 1960s for Lotus-Climax, competing in a single-class world championship that mixed amateur and semi-professional entrants with graded professionals on the same grid.[1]
Collomb's indexed record spans three seasons from 1961 to 1963, with four starts in Formula 1. He finished 13th in the 1963 championship standings, the sole round he contested that year. He drove primarily self-prepared machinery, racing Coopers before switching to Lotus in 1963. His best recorded result in a non-championship race was fourth place at Vienna in 1961 in a Cooper-Climax.[2]
His regular opponents in the championship included Jim Clark, who won the Formula 1 title in both 1963 and 1965, and Richie Ginther, an established professional with 53 Formula 1 starts; Collomb typically finished behind both. Cooper-Climax, the team he drove for most often, fielded 50 drivers across the index and counted Stirling Moss among its stronger entrants. Collomb's four starts place him at the margins of a field that included multiple championship-winning drivers.
