🇬🇧 Chris Bristow

Chris Bristow was a British Formula 1 driver who raced in the 1959 and 1960 seasons for Cooper-Climax, competing in a single-class championship that mixed amateurs, semi-professionals and established professionals in the same field. He made four starts across those two seasons and finished 14th in the 1960 championship standings without scoring points.[1]

Bristow faced established professionals throughout his brief career, including regular meetings with Stirling Moss and 1959 and 1960 champion Jack Brabham, against whom he typically finished behind. He beat established professional Henry Taylor once and Ivor Bueb once across his four starts. Cooper-Climax, the team he drove for in three of those races, fielded 50 drivers across the index and counted Moss among its strongest; the team won 12 races overall during its span of competition.[2]
