Gregor Foitek (Script error: No such module "IPA".; born 27 March 1965) is a Swiss former racing driver. He won the 1986 Swiss Formula 3 Championship. Foitek participated in 22 Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on 26 March 1989. He scored no championship points. He later made two CART starts for Foyt Enterprises in 1992 but was knocked out of both races by mechanical issues.

Foitek helps run Foitek Automobile, a family-run Ferrari and Maserati dealership in Altendorf.[1]

Formula One career

1989: EuroBrun and Rial

Foitek made his debut at the 1989 Brazilian Grand Prix, however with turbos now banned from F1, the number of entries had grown to 39. Thirteen cars had to enter pre-qualifying and with EuroBrun having performed poorly in 1988, Foitek had to enter the session using the ER188B, which was an update of the 1988 car. Foitek only got to the main qualifying session once, at the first race in Brazil, where he then failed to qualify.[2] After 11 rounds, Foitek quit the EuroBrun team.

At the Spanish Grand Prix, Foitek was called up to replace Christian Danner at the Rial team.[3] However, the Rial team were having a bad season and several crew members had left the team. Furthermore, although it was assured of a place in the main qualifying session, the Rial ARC2 was uncompetitive, some five seconds off the next slowest car. In his one race with the team, Foitek's rear wing broke at high speed and he crashed heavily. He immediately quit the team.

1990: Brabham and Onyx

Foitek started the 1990 season with Brabham, filling in for the first two races whilst David Brabham prepared himself to move up to F1.[4] He qualified for both races, making his first F1 start in Phoenix, but didn't finish either race.[2]

Once Brabham moved up to take his F1 seat, Foitek moved across to Onyx[4] (now part-run by his father Karl)[5] to replace Stefan Johansson, who had left the team having been unhappy at the way the team was run. Foitek qualified for his first four races with Onyx[2] and was classified seventh at Monaco[2] (although he was running sixth late on but retired after a collision with Eric Bernard when being overtaken).[5] The lack of resources began to tell for Onyx as the season wore on, with Foitek only qualifying once in the following four races[2] - as did his teammate, JJ Lehto, at Hockenheim where they shared the back row of the grid - before Onyx folded after the Hungarian Grand Prix.[5]
