David Clapham was a South African racing driver who made a single start in Formula 1 during the 1965 season, driving for Cooper-Maserati. He qualified for one round but did not finish in the points, ending the race in seventeenth position. His racing career on record comprised only this single grand prix appearance before he retired from professional motorsport.[1]
Clapham later became established as a motor sport journalist. His brief time in Formula 1 came during an era when the championship was accessible to drivers with relatively limited preparation, and Cooper-Maserati was a competitive midfield team capable of scoring wins, though his single appearance did not yield a result of note. The record shows no other racing series or events beyond this single Formula 1 outing in 1965.[2]
