New Zealand Formula One Drivers
There have been eight Formula One drivers from New Zealand, half of them having started two or fewer races. The late 1950s to mid 1970s is viewed as the "golden age" for New Zealand in the sport and saw Denny Hulme crowned as World Drivers' Championship in 1967. New Zealand drivers have been absent from Formula One events since Mike Thackwell last raced in 1984.
