Heinz Schiller was a Swiss racing driver who competed at the professional level, with a Racer Rating of 4,234 placing him in the professional band; this rating describes a driver capable of competing at national championship standard or the sharp end of strong feeder series. His record on the track was limited to a single season of Formula 1 racing in 1962, when he started two races for the Lotus-BRM team but failed to score points or finish on the podium in either outing. His most recent activity was in August 1962, when he finished twentieth in a Formula 1 round.[1]

Schiller's two starts in the world championship represented the total extent of his recorded racing career. He was one of 29 drivers fielded by Lotus-BRM across the team's history, a squad that included Peter Revson, a significantly stronger driver who achieved a rating of 7,375 and competed at the elite professional level. The brevity of Schiller's time in Formula 1, combined with his failure to register a result in either race, suggests a brief attempt at the highest level of single-seater racing rather than a sustained career.[2]
