Max Jean was a French racing driver who competed at the highest level of single-seater motorsport on a single occasion. A former Formule France champion, Jean made one Formula 1 appearance in his home race at the 1971 French Grand Prix, driving a March-Ford for Frank Williams Racing Cars. He finished twenty-third in the race and scored no championship points.[1]
The career on record consists of that single Grand Prix entry in 1971, making Jean a guest entrant to Formula 1 rather than a full-season competitor. His Racer Rating of 2,958 reflects the limited competitive data available; the scale positions him among amateur and club-level drivers rather than established professionals, a classification appropriate to a one-race international appearance at a time when Grand Prix grids were considerably larger and more variable in driver quality than the closed fields of later decades. Jean has been retired from racing since 1971.[2]
