David Prophet was a British racing driver who competed in Formula 1 between 1963 and 1965, entering two World Championship Grands Prix for Brabham-Ford without scoring points or podium finishes. He made his debut on 28 December 1963 and his final appearance came in 1965, when he finished seventeenth. Across his two starts, Prophet averaged a finishing position of fourteenth; his single classified result showed him ahead of Lorenzo Bandini, a front-running professional driver of that era.[1]
Prophet's career in Formula 1 proved brief and unsuccessful at the championship level. His participation came during an era when the grid was populated by far stronger competitors; his Racer Rating of 3,401 places him in the upper-amateur to semi-professional range, reflective of a driver whose single-seater opportunities were limited. Brabham, the team that fielded him, was a competitive outfit that won races and later developed stronger drivers, but Prophet did not advance beyond his initial two entries.[2]
