Jorge Daponte was an Argentine racing driver who competed in Formula 1 during the 1954 season. He drove for Maserati in two championship rounds, finishing outside the points on both occasions. His average finishing position across his classified starts was eleventh, placing him in the lower half of a field that included established drivers and rising talent competing in what was the early era of the world championship.[1]
Daponte's career spanned only a single season at the highest level of single-seater racing. He did not score points or finish on a podium in his two starts for Maserati, a team that had fielded numerous drivers over the years and would later become known for supporting Juan Fangio, one of the era's dominant forces. His brief time in Formula 1 reflected the high turnover typical of the championship in its early years, when opportunities were limited and competition for drives intense.[2]
