Bengt Ronnie Peterson (born 14th February, 1944 in Örebro, Sweden) is a Swedish former racing driver known for his appearances in Formula One.

Formula One

1976: John Player Team Lotus

Peterson returned to Lotus for another season, joined by Mario Andretti.

Peterson's season would end early at the German Grand Prix, where he span at the Ostkurve from the batle for 4th and subsequently being collected by the Ensign of Emilio de Villota, with both drivers needing medical assistance to get out of the car. Peterson suffered multiple broken ribs and two broken vertebrae, forcing him to miss the rest of the season.

1977: Team Ensign

1977 saw Lotus sign British upstart Thomas Nurmester ahead of Peterson, so he opted to head up an all-Swedish lineup at the Ensign team.

His season started well, taking two points finishes in the first quarter of the season.
