Louis Rosier was a French driver who raced in Formula 1 as a professional from 1950 to 1956, primarily for Ferrari. He competed across seven seasons in the world championship, making 38 starts over that period.[1]

Rosier took two podium finishes in Formula 1, both against a field that mixed amateurs and semi-professionals with graded professionals at the top. His championship standing in 1956, his final year, was 11th. Among the drivers he raced regularly were Juan Fangio, a five-time world champion, and Luigi Villoresi, with whom he was closely matched; he finished ahead of Fangio once and Mike Hawthorn, the 1958 world champion, once across his career. Fangio was his regular measure and Rosier typically finished behind him.[2]

Rosier's racing extended beyond the circuits where Formula 1 ran. In 1950, driving a privateer Talbot-Lago T26C-GS, he won the 24 Hours of Le Mans, sharing a car built before the war and driving nearly the full race distance across the 24-hour distance.
