Mike MacDowel was an English racing driver who made a single Formula 1 start in 1957 for Cooper. He shared the car with Jack Brabham at the French Grand Prix on 7 July, finishing seventh and outside the points; only the first five finishers scored in the championship that year.[1]
MacDowel's racing record on file comprises only this one World Championship outing. He raced in a period when Grand Prix seats were often shared among multiple drivers, and his appearance alongside Brabham at Cooper places him among drivers who competed at the sport's highest level, albeit in a marginal capacity. The team fielded stronger drivers in its history, most notably Mike Hawthorn, but MacDowel's single classified finish and retirement thereafter suggest his career in international racing was brief.[2]
