Louis Alexandre Chiron (born 3 August 1899 in Monaco, died 22 June 1979) was a Monégasque racing driver who competed in Formula One from 1950 onwards. Known for winning the very first race in Formula One championship history, the 1950 British Grand Prix, Chiron also finished second in Italy that year, finishing fifth in the championship. He would never score a point again. His allegiance never stuck with a single team in particular, racing for six teams in total, with 15 of his 37 entries being made for Scuderia Commesso. His best shot at success came in 1953, when he was invited to replace the injured Giuseppe Farina for three races. However, he failed to score, and Farina took his seat back after recovering.
