Formula One drivers from Sweden

There have been 10 Formula One drivers from Sweden.

At the 2014 Australian Grand Prix Marcus Ericsson became the first Swedish driver to compete in a Formula One Grand Prix since Stefan Johansson raced in the 1991 Australian Grand Prix. He made his debut with the backmarker Caterham F1 Team, and struggled throughout the season. He was forced to sit out the final 3 races of the 2014 season as the team was placed into liquidation. He was signed by Sauber for the 2015 season and saw a slight reversal of fortune, picking up his first of 5 points finishes in Australia, finishing 18th in the championship. He drove for Sauber again in 2016, finishing 22nd in the championship and is contracted to Sauber for the 2017 season.

Jo Bonnier was the first Swedish F1 racer. He made his debut at the 1956 Italian Grand Prix in a Maserati, resulting in a retirement. He raced sporadically across the following 15 Formula One seasons, his greatest achievement being victory in the 1959 Dutch Grand Prix with BRM. He was killed in an accident in the 1972 24 Hours of Le Mans.

1967 Swedish F3 champion Reine Wisell made his debut with Lotus at the 1970 United States Grand Prix. He scored a podium finish in his debut race, but only 4 more points finishes followed in his career, all in the following year. The subsequent years saw a large drop in form and he eventually retired following his home race of 1974.
