Geoff Lees

Geoff Lees, a British driver born in 1951, made five Formula 1 starts spread thinly across the turn of the 1980s, appearing in the 1979, 1980 and 1982 seasons.

His record is that of a stand-in rather than a regular: the season-by-season entries show Tyrrell in 1979, Shadow in 1980 and Theodore in 1982, while his career record also lists associations with Ensign and Team Lotus. Five teams against five starts illustrates how piecemeal the opportunities were.

None of the outings brought championship points, and his World Championship career closed without a classified season, a fate common to drivers whose chances came only in scattered one-off drives.
