Tony Maggs was a South African racing driver who competed in Formula 1 as a semi-professional between 1961 and 1965. He drove primarily for Cooper-Climax, a team that also fielded the established professional Stirling Moss during this period. Across five seasons he made 27 starts in a championship field that mixed amateur and professional entrants at the sport's highest level.[1]
Maggs took three podium finishes in his Formula 1 career. He was a regular opponent of Jim Clark, the two-time Formula 1 champion, and finished ahead of him twice; he was also closely matched with Bruce McLaren, an established professional with a much longer Formula 1 career. Among the stronger drivers he beat on occasion were Richie Ginther, an established professional with 53 Formula 1 starts. His final season in 1965 saw him finish thirteenth in the championship standings.[2]
