Sam Posey was an established professional racing driver who competed in Formula 1 as a solo driver in single-seater cars. He drove for Surtees across his two starts in the championship between 1971 and 1972.[1]
Posey made two Formula 1 starts over two seasons. In his 1972 campaign, his sole race of that year left him 14th in the championship standings. His Formula 1 record, limited as it was, included a finish ahead of Niki Lauda, a driver who would go on to win three world championships, as well as a result ahead of Peter Revson, an established professional with 30 Formula 1 starts to his credit. Surtees, the team that fielded him, was a small operation within the grid and produced no race wins across its entire history in the index; its strongest driver was John Watson, an established professional.[2]
