Mike Thackwell
Encyclopedia
Michael Thackwell is a former racing driver, who competed in a number of prominent racing categories, including Formula One
. The second youngest driver ever to qualify for a Grand Prix, he participated in five of them, making his first start on 28 September 1980 at the Canadian Grand Prix
. He scored no championship points. He had previously attempted unsuccessfully to qualify for the Dutch Grand Prix
which was held on 31 August 1980.
, where he spent his formative years, and also began racing. At the time of his Formula One debut, Thackwell regarded himself as Australian, although he competed as a New Zealander.
For three years from the age of nine, Thackwell competed in motocross events, on a motorcycle built by his father. He then switched to karts, winning a Western Australian championship at the age of 14. After also winning the Hong Kong Kart Grand Prix in 1975 and 1976, he moved to England.
and Derek Daly
, both Tyrrell drivers. Mike Thackwell negotiated his way through the carnage and returned to the start/finish line undamaged as the race had been stopped. As both Jarier's and Daly's cars were too badly damaged to repair quickly, Thackwell was instructed by Ken Tyrrell to give up his car for Jarier. The race was then restarted after the wreckage was cleaned up. Under Formula One regulations, when the race is stopped on the first lap, the racing on that lap is annulled and the race starts anew when the cars take to the grid for the second time. If a driver was involved in the first lap incident and then can not bring their car back to the second start, they have technically not taken part in the Grand Prix. This is because the Grand Prix actually begins from the second start and the original start is struck from the results. Using these criteria, Ricardo Rodriguez
was in fact the youngest race starter. Sebastian Vettel
became in August 2006 the youngest driver to appear at a Grand Prix meeting, but only as a test driver. Jaime Alguersuari
broke Thackwell's record at the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix
, being 19 years 125 days old when he started the race.

, Thackwell failed to re-establish himself in F1 and turned his back on the sport at the end of 1987. He is widely felt to have been one of the great 'lost talents' - a driver in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Formula One debut
For nearly 30 years, Thackwell was often listed as the youngest driver to start a Formula One event, although this claim was arguable.
