Patrick Daniel Tambay (born 25th June, 1949 in Paris, France) is a French former Grand Prix racing driver.

Formula One

1976: John Player Team Lotus

Following the season-ending injuries suffered by Ronnie Peterson, Tambay was drafted in to drive the #6 Lotus for the latter stages of the 1976 season.

He took a pair of podiums in the Dutch and Italian Grands Prix, followed by a shock first win in a Japanese Grand Prix struck by a rain storm.

1977: Martini Racing

Despite taking Lotus's only win in 1976, Tambay found himself ousted by the Norfolk-based team. Brabham would come calling for the Frenchman ahead of the second round, joining British racer James Hunt and replacing Italian Lella Lombardi.
