Fred Gamble was an American semi-professional driver whose competitive record spans a single Formula 1 entry in 1960. His rating of 3,406 places him in the semi-professional band; this describes drivers who win in pro-am and one-make classes and compete at the midfield level among full professionals. Gamble raced in Formula 1 once, driving for Behra-Porsche at the Italian Grand Prix on 4 September 1960, where he finished tenth and scored no championship points.[1]

Gamble's sole season of racing on record gave him an average finishing position of tenth across classified starts. The Behra-Porsche team, which fielded him alongside one other driver, recorded no race wins in its history; its strongest driver was Masten Gregory, an established professional several rating tiers above Gamble's level. With only a single Grand Prix start and no podium finishes, Gamble's time in Formula 1 was a brief one-off appearance rather than the beginning of a sustained career at the sport's highest level. He retired from racing and lived to 92 years old, passing away in Hawaii in 2024.[2]
