Philippe Pierre Streiff (26 June 1955 – 23 December 2022) was a French racing driver and motorsport executive, who competed in Formula One from 1984 to 1989.

Early life and career

[edit]

Philippe Pierre Streiff was born on 26 June 1955 in La Tronche, Isère, France.[1]

Formula One career

[edit]

He participated in 55 Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on 21 October 1984. He achieved one podium, and scored a total of 11 championship points.

A pre-season testing crash at the Jacarepaguá circuit in Rio de Janeiro in 1989 with AGS[2] left him a quadriplegic and thus using a wheelchair, with the quality of the care he received in the aftermath having been called into question,[3] even if the accident itself was so serious the roll-bar broke on impact.[4]

Other ventures

[edit]

Streiff organised the Masters of Paris-Bercy, a kart racing competition held in collaboration with the FFSA, from 1993 to 2001.

In early 1994, Streiff made a bid to purchase Ligier in partnership with Hughes de Chaunac.[5] The bid had the support of the similarly Renault-powered Williams F1 team, who intended to turn Ligier into a 'junior' team. The bid was unsuccessful.

Death

[edit]
