Helmuth Koinigg was an Austrian Formula 1 driver who raced for Surtees in 1974. He competed in single-seater racing at the professional level, piloting a Formula 1 car in a global championship that drew from amateur and semi-professional ranks alongside graded professionals. His racing career was documented across two starts in the series.[1]
Koinigg finished 17th in the 1974 Formula 1 championship standings. Over his two races, he beat established professionals including Graham Hill, a two-time Formula 1 world champion with 177 career Formula 1 starts, and Jacques Laffite, a long-serving Formula 1 driver. His team, Surtees, was a small operation that fielded 30 drivers across the index without recording a race win; its strongest driver by rating was John Watson, also an established professional.[2]
