Chris Craft was a British racing driver who made a single Formula 1 appearance for Brabham in 1971, finishing 23rd in that outing. His record of one start and no podium finishes places him among drivers with the briefest exposure to the sport's highest category. The Racer Rating of 2,943 reflects his limited competitive sample at that level.[1]

Craft's broader career encompassed multiple forms of motorsport beyond Formula 1, building experience across different racing disciplines. The headlines suggest a background in British saloon racing and various other categories, establishing him as a generalist racer rather than a single-seater specialist. His one-race Formula 1 effort, contested from a Brabham that was part of a team with a strong championship pedigree, appears to have been an isolated excursion into grand prix racing rather than the continuation of a single-seater trajectory.[2]
