🇿🇦 South African Drivers
1 South African driver profiled — discover the stories beyond the stats.
South Africa's entire world championship-level Formula 1 legacy rests on a single driver: Jody Scheckter, who raced from 1972 to 1980 and remains the only South African to win the F1 drivers' title. There's no second name to put alongside his at this level — the 1979 championship isn't one highlight in a broader South African F1 tradition, it effectively is the tradition.
