🇬🇧 Mike Beuttler

Mike Beuttler was an established professional racing driver who competed in Formula 1 between 1971 and 1973. He raced privately entered March cars across 28 starts in a three-season career against a field mixing amateurs, semi-professionals and graded professionals in the same championship.[1]

Beuttler's Formula 1 career comprised three seasons of single-digit results in a competitive grid. He finished 18th in the 1973 championship standings, his final season. Against the established professionals who formed the regular midfield opposition, he typically finished behind François Cevert and Ronnie Peterson, both drivers with substantially longer careers in the series. He finished ahead of Jackie Stewart, a three-time world champion and one of the era's elite drivers, once across their meetings, and beat former champion Denny Hulme on one occasion.[2]
