Patrick Depailler was a French Formula One driver who competed in the sport from 1972 until his untimely death in 1980. Known for his flamboyant style and fearless driving, Depailler was a true icon of the sport during his time on the track.

Born in Clermont-Ferrand, France in 1944, Depailler began his racing career in 1968, competing in Formula 3 events. He quickly gained a reputation for his speed and skill on the track, and was soon signed to drive for the prestigious Matra team.
