Michael "Mikko" Kozarowitzky (born 17th May, 1948 in Helsinki, Finland) is a Finnish former racing driver known for his short stint in Formula One.
Kozarowitzky's first foray into Formula One was the 1976 BRDC International Trophy, where he was given a drive by the fledgling ATS Racing Team squad. He would finish in 14th position, two laps down.
When ATS entered Formula One proper in 1977, competing in the European races, Kozarowitsky got the call-up to partner the dependable Rolf Stommelen. His best result would be a twelfth place finish at the French Grand Prix - although Kozarowitzky gained more notoriety from his actions during the Dutch Grand Prix, where he'd swerve into the path of Tom Sneva's McLaren, causing the American to retire from the race.
The aforementioned incident and a general lack of pace meant that Kozarowitzky was of little interest to teams after 1977. He reverted back to the lower formulae with little success, and when the drives there began to evaporate in the late 70s, he'd soon retire.
