Ken Richardson was a British racing driver who made a single Formula 1 start for BRM in 1951, finishing twentieth in the race. His sole World Championship appearance represented the extent of his career at the highest level of international motorsport.[1]

Richardson's racing record was limited to that single season. With no wins, podiums, or further championship entries, he remained a peripheral figure in the early years of Formula 1, when the grid was still establishing itself and opportunities for drivers were far fewer than in later eras. His involvement with BRM, the British racing constructor, placed him among a large cohort of drivers who cycled through the team across its history, though few achieved lasting prominence in the sport.[2]
