Robert Manzon

Robert Manzon (born 12 April 1917 in Marseille) is a French former racing driver who competed in Formula 1 from 1950 to 1956. He was respected as one of the only drivers capable of fighting with the Ferraris in 1952 and 1953 in his Gordini, a team he left after too many careless mistakes by his mechanics. After a stint driving for Louis Rosier, he rejoined Gordini, retiring in 1956 after two lacklustre seasons. He is the last living driver to score points in the 1950 season and the oldest living driver, at 95.
