#1 Louis Chiron
The oldest driver to have entered a Formula 1 race, Louis Chiron's first ever Grand Prix in F1 was the British GP.
Qualifying eleventh in that race, in Great Britain, Chiron couldn't bring home any points as he finished nineteenth in the Grand Prix driving a Maserati 4CLT/48.
But some of his best F1 results in a very brief career came at Monaco, his home race.
A resident of Monte Carlo, also his birth-place, Chiron collected 4 championship points in his career and even stepped on the podium once during his active years: 1950-58.
An accomplished driver, Chiron first won a local race back in 1926, near Toulouse, in France and is known to have first participated in Grand Prix races post the First World War.
He even competed in and won the famous Spa 24 hours in 1933.
In doing so, the dapper-looking racer made a name for himself by coming out of retirement, a decision he made during the World War II, in 1938, going as far as winning two Grands Prix events in France driving a Talbot-Lago.
