Tom Bridger was a British racing driver whose single-seater career comprised one Formula 1 outing for Cooper in 1958. He started the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on 19 October that year and finished 22nd, failing to score championship points. His entry into Formula 1 came on the back of success in Formula Three, where he won 15 races and established himself as a competitive junior driver of the period.[1]
His one Grand Prix start places him among the many drivers of the 1950s who sampled Formula 1 without sustaining a career at that level. Cooper, his entry team, was an emerging constructor that would later become a championship force, though Bridger's sole appearance offered no indication of what lay ahead either for him or the team. His competitive standing in club and national racing during the era was respectable, though the single race in the world championship proved the pinnacle of his single-seater ambitions.[2]
