Juan Manuel Bordeu was an Argentine racing driver from Balcarce who made a single Formula 1 start at the 1961 French Grand Prix for the Lotus-Climax team entered by UDT Laystall. He finished 18th in that race, which represented the entirety of his World Championship career. A protégé of countryman Juan Manuel Fangio during his early racing career, Bordeu's path to Formula 1 was cut short by a significant testing accident that curtailed his prospects at the highest level of motorsport.[1]
The single start that comprises Bordeu's Formula 1 record places him among the many drivers who competed in only one championship round during the sport's early years. His Racer Rating of 2,937 reflects the limited data available from that sole outing against a field of 1961 competitors; it positions him well below the threshold of established professional drivers in the international single-seater ranks.[2]
