Jackie Lewis was an established professional racing driver who competed in Formula 1 as a single-seater driver for Cooper-Climax during the 1961 and 1962 seasons. His career comprised ten starts across those two campaigns in the world championship.[1]
Lewis finished 16th in the 1962 Formula 1 championship standings, his most successful season in the series. He raced against some of the era's strongest drivers, including future two-time world champion Jim Clark and established professional Richie Ginther, both of whom he occasionally outpaced; he finished ahead of Clark twice and Ginther once. His results placed him mid-field in grids that mixed amateur and semi-professional entrants with graded professionals, competing for a team that would field 50 drivers across its history with Stirling Moss among its strongest.[2]
