Willi Heeks was a German racing driver who competed in Formula 1 in the early 1950s. He made two World Championship starts for Veritas in 1952 and 1953, neither of which resulted in a points finish. His single race appearance on record came in 1953, when he finished twentieth. The calibre of his competition placed him at the lower end of the professional racing spectrum; his Racer Rating of 3,410 reflects a driver working in national and professional feeder categories rather than at the front of international racing.[1]

Heeks' Formula 1 career was brief and yielded no significant results. He remains one of many drivers from the early championship era who appeared only once or twice in the series before moving on or retiring from racing.[2]
