Patrick Gaillard is a retired French racing driver who competed in Formula 1 during the 1979 season. He made two starts for Ensign, debuting at Silverstone in July 1979. Across his two races, he failed to score championship points or finish on the podium, with an average finishing position of thirteenth place. His most notable result came when he finished ahead of Gilles Villeneuve, a front-running driver of that era, in a single race outing.[1]
Gaillard's Formula 1 career was brief and marked by limited competitive success against the established drivers of his era. The Ensign team for which he raced proved to be a midfield or lower-grid outfit, fielding a roster of twenty-five drivers across its history with no race wins to its credit. His Racer Rating of 3,427 places him in the national and feeder championship tier of professional motorsport, reflecting a career limited to a handful of top-level single-seater starts rather than sustained competition at that level.[2]
