🇻🇪 Johnny Cecotto

Johnny Cecotto was an established professional racing driver who competed in Formula 1 for Toleman during 1983 and 1984, and made two starts in the FIA GT Championship in 2001. His Formula 1 career comprised 18 starts across those two seasons, racing solo against a field spanning amateur and professional competitors.[1]

Cecotto's most prominent racing came in his first indexed season, 1983, when he finished 17th in the Formula 1 championship standings. He raced alongside multiple four-time world champions; he finished ahead of both Alain Prost and Nelson Piquet once each during his time in the series, though he was regularly outpaced by both drivers across his races against them. His Theodore team, which fielded nine of his starts, took no wins across the index and counted established professional Keke Rosberg as its strongest driver. After his time in Formula 1, Cecotto's racing activity on record was limited to two endurance starts in shared-car competition 17 years later.[2]
