David Hobbs

David Hobbs, a British driver born in 1939, made seven Formula 1 starts scattered across four seasons between 1967 and 1974.

He appeared for BRM in 1967 and Honda in 1968, then returned after a two-year absence with McLaren in 1971 and again in 1974, with a drive for Lola also on his record.

None of his seven starts yielded championship points, but the eight-year span and four different teams point to a driver repeatedly called upon for occasional Grand Prix duty rather than full campaigns.
