George Eaton was an established professional competing in Formula 1 between 1969 and 1971, driving for BRM. His career comprised 11 starts across three seasons in the world championship, a field mixing amateurs and semi-professionals with graded drivers in single-seater sprint racing.[1]
Eaton's Formula 1 effort yielded a 14th-place championship finish in 1971, his final year in the series. Throughout his time in the championship he faced a regular grid that included Jackie Stewart, the three-time world champion, whom he typically ran behind, and Jo Siffert, with whom he proved closely matched.
