Kunimitsu Takahashi

Kunimitsu Takahashi, a Japanese driver born in 1940, made a single Formula 1 World Championship start, driving for Tyrrell in 1977. He was thirty-seven years old at the time of his one Grand Prix appearance, a notably late age for a championship debut.

The outing did not bring any championship points, and his Formula 1 record stands at one start with no podiums, poles or fastest laps. His brief involvement came during a period when Japanese drivers were beginning to appear more regularly on the World Championship entry lists.
