Biography

François Cevert Biography

Tyrrell 004 driven by François Cevert on Spa in Belgium (1973)

Francois Cevert was a French racing driver who competed in Formula One from 1969 to 1973. He began his F1 career with the March team and became teammate to World Champion Jackie Stewart at Tyrrell in 1971.

Cevert quickly showed his talent on the track, earning his first podium finish at the French Grand Prix in 1971. Cevert had an outstanding season, winning his first and only Grand Prix victory at the United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen. He finished the season third in the Drivers' Championship, with seven podium finishes in total.

In 1972 he stayed with Tyrrell and had some more bad luck and didn't finish 6 out of the twelf races. Cevert did score two podiums by finishing second in Belgium and the US and ended up seventh in the drivers' championship.

Cevert was considered one of the rising stars of F1 and was widely expected to challenge Stewart for the championship in 1973. However, tragedy struck during qualifying for the last race of the season, the United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen. Cevert's car crashed into the barriers, killing him instantly. He was just 29 years old.

Cevert's death was a huge blow to the F1 community, and his loss was deeply felt by his family, friends, and fans. Many considered him to be one of the most promising drivers of his generation, and his talent and charisma continue to be remembered by fans and fellow drivers alike.

Despite his short career, Cevert left a lasting impression on the world of F1. His driving style and technical ability were matched only by his charm and charisma, making him one of the most beloved drivers of his era.
