Patrick Gaillard

Patrick Gaillard, a French driver born in 1952, made two Formula 1 starts in the 1979 season, racing for the small Ensign team.

His pair of Grand Prix appearances brought no championship points, and 1979 remained his only season at the top level. Gaillard's record — two starts with one of the era's minnows — is characteristic of the many brief careers produced by Formula 1's crowded late-1970s entry lists.
