Mike Sparken, a pseudonym for Michel Poberejsky of France, was an established professional racing driver who competed in Formula 1, the sport's premier single-seater championship. He drove for Gordini in 1955.[1]
Sparken's career on record consists of a single Formula 1 start, at the 1955 British Grand Prix. He finished seventh, nine laps down, and took no championship points, ending the season fifteenth in the standings.[2]
In that sole outing, Sparken finished ahead of Harry Schell and Ken Wharton, both established professionals with substantial Formula 1 experience. Gordini, the team he drove for, fielded 23 drivers across its history in this index without a race win; Schell was its strongest performer.
