Eddie Sachs was an American racing driver and established professional who competed in Formula 1 between 1957 and 1960. He drove for Ewing across his four indexed starts in the championship, though his primary team in that period was Kuzma, which fielded him in three of those races. Sachs raced in a field that mixed amateur and semi-professional entrants with graded professionals across Formula 1's international calendar.[1]
His Formula 1 career consisted of four starts over four seasons, with his final appearance in 1960 yielding a 14th-place finish in the championship standings. He typically finished behind established professionals Jim Rathmann and Tony Bettenhausen, both of whom had substantially more Formula 1 experience; however, he managed to beat Bettenhausen once and also finished ahead of fellow established professional Don Freeland in a single race. Kuzma, the team he drove for most often, was a small operation that had won one race across its full index and had fielded a roster of 23 drivers, with established professional Duane Carter among its strongest pilots.[2]
