Stuart Lewis-Evans was a British professional racing in Formula 1 for Vanwall, competing at the championship's highest level across two seasons from 1957 to 1958. He started 14 Grands Prix and took two podiums, finishing seventh in the 1958 championship standings.[1]

Lewis-Evans raced at an established professional level, rating 5,960. His record came against mixed international fields that included both semi-professional entrants and elite drivers. He was a regular opponent of Harry Schell, closely matched in their encounters, but finished behind Mike Hawthorn, the 1958 Formula 1 champion, in the races they shared. Lewis-Evans beat Jack Brabham, a multiple Formula 1 champion, on four occasions, and Wolfgang von Trips once; these results suggest he could run with established competitors despite being himself relatively junior to the grid's strongest drivers. Vanwall, the team he drove for across 13 of his 14 starts, took the inaugural Constructors Championship in 1958, the same year Lewis-Evans scored his points in the drivers' standings.[2]
