Philippe Streiff

When I look at Philippe Streiff, I see one of those Formula One names that meant a lot to people who watched the sport in the 1980s without ever becoming a household word elsewhere. He raced from 1984 to 1989, the kind of mid-grid career that requires real talent just to be there. What stays with me, though, is the second act: after a testing crash left him paralyzed, he became a respected motorsport figure rather than disappearing. He died in December 2022. I find that arc, from driver to executive, more interesting than any single race result he ever posted on track.
