🇫🇷 François Migault

François Migault was an established professional racing driver from Le Mans who competed in Formula 1 and sports car endurance racing. He raced single-seater cars for Williams and BRM across the 1972 to 1975 Formula 1 season, totalling 14 starts in the championship. His sole indexed endurance entry came in 2000, when he shared an FIA GT Championship car for Team LR Organisation.[1]

Migault's Formula 1 career spanned four seasons from 1972, during which he remained outside the championship points. He finished 19th in the 1975 standings, his final year in the series. His 14 Formula 1 starts placed him among the regular grid competitors of that era, though he typically finished behind stronger drivers including Niki Lauda and Carlos Reutemann. He did on occasion finish ahead of established professionals such as Lauda and John Watson.[2]

Migault raced in grids that included multiple Formula 1 champions and multi-time race winners. His appearances came in the same fields as Lauda, who would go on to win the world championship that same year, and Reutemann, one of the decade's most accomplished drivers. BRM, his primary team across ten starts, fielded Jackie Stewart among its roster of 64 drivers and accrued 17 race wins across its racing history.
