David Prophet was a British racing driver who competed in Formula 1 between 1963 and 1965, driving for Brabham. He made two championship starts in a series that fielded everything from amateurs to elite professionals in the same race.[1]
Prophet's Formula 1 career was brief and saw him finish 13th in the championship standings in 1965, his final season. He scored no points across his two starts. His most notable result came in a non-championship race, when he finished sixth in the 1963 Rand Grand Prix.[2]
Among the established professionals he encountered, Prophet finished ahead of Lorenzo Bandini, an accomplished Formula 1 driver with 44 championship starts to his name. Brabham, the team that fielded Prophet, would go on to prove itself one of the era's stronger operations, later winning 23 races across the full span of its career and fielding drivers including elite professional Nelson Piquet.
