Bob Said was an American racing driver who made a single Formula 1 start in 1959 for Connaught, finishing 20th in the race. His sole appearance in the sport's premier category yielded no points or podium finishes. Said came to racing through sports cars during his time at Princeton and was educated at Deerfield Academy in Connecticut, the son of a Syrian father and Russian mother.[1]
The Connaught team for which Said competed was a constructor that accumulated no race wins across its entire history in this database and fielded a field of 26 drivers, the strongest of whom was Stirling Moss. Said's entry represented the tail end of the constructor's efforts; his finishing position reflected the competitive gulf between a works effort and a minor entrant in an era when Formula 1 grids were far larger and less uniformly matched than they would become. His racing career on record spans only this single season in 1959, and he has been retired from competition since then.[2]
