Encyclopedia
Peter Kenneth Gethin is a former racing driver.
He participated in 31 World Championship Formula One
Grands Prix, debuting on 21 June 1970. He won the 1971 Italian Grand Prix
in the fastest average speed in Formula One history (until the record was broken by Michael Schumacher
at the same race
in ), but this was his only podium finish. There was only 0.01 seconds between him and second placed Ronnie Peterson
, also a record). Indeed, he never led an entire lap of Formula One racing, as he passed from fourth to first in the last lap. He also participated in numerous non-Championship Formula One races.
Gethin also raced for Team McLaren in the 1970 Canadian-American Challenge Cup series, driving the McLaren M8D that had been driven by Dan Gurney in the first three races of the season. Gethin won one race and finished third in the 1970 championship.
In 1974 Gethin won the Tasman Series
, a Formula 5000
series held in Australia and New Zealand. Gethin drove a Chevron
B24 Chevrolet.
He later ran a Formula 3000 team.
for McLaren
at the 1970 Dutch Grand Prix
, replacing the team's founder, Bruce McLaren
, who had been killed at the Goodwood Circuit
earlier in the month. He joined a three car team which also included Andrea de Adamich
and Dan Gurney
. He qualified strongly at Zandvoort, taking 11th, 2.110s behind Jochen Rindt
's pole time for Lotus
. He was nine tenths of a second ahead of his more illustrious but ageing team mate Gurney. He engaged in a good fight early in the race with Henri Pescarolo
's Matra
, but soon got the better of the Frenchman and was still running in 10th when he had an accident of lap 19.
Gethin missed the French
and British
Grands Prix, as former McLaren legend and 1967 world champion
Denny Hulme
drove the car, but he returned for the German Grand Prix
. He qualified less impressively, being only 17th, and a tenth of a second behing Hulme, who had remained with the team on Gethin's return at the expense of Gurney. It was a disappointing race, as Gethin dropped to the back early on and retired after just 3 laps with a throttle failure.
The Austrian Grand Prix
at the Österreichring
was next, and it was another disappointing qualifying session for Gethin, who was down in 21st and comprehensively trounced by his team mates Hulme and de Adamich. As other drivers fell by the wayside in the race, however, Gethin climbed consistently up the order, and was running as high as 8th before he was passed by Ignazio Giunti
's Ferrari
and Jo Siffert
's March
late on, but it was his first grand prix finish as he came home 10th.
Gethin was again the rearmost of the McLaren cars at Monza
for the Italian Grand Prix
, but it was an improved performance, as he was 17th and as close as he had been to the pole time, 2.050 seconds behind Jacky Ickx
's Ferrari. He started well in the race and was quickly up to 13th after good passes on team mate de Adamich and Ronnie Peterson
's March. However, both Gethin and de Adamich soon suffered technical problems, and dropped to the back of the field, where they would stay until the end of the race, apart from brief periods ahead of Giunti and Tim Schenken
's De Tomaso
when they were experiencing their own problems. Due to the sheer attrition of the race, de Adamich was 8th at the end and Gethin 9th, although the Englishman was 8 laps down and therefore not classified.
The Canadian Grand Prix
at Mont-Tremblant saw the season leave Europe and head towards its finale in the Americas, and it saw a resurgence in Gethin's form, as he out-qualified both de Adamich and Hulme, coming 11th just 1.7 seconds behind Jackie Stewart
's pole time. He played the race strategy well, and did not have to make any moves on the track, save one against Pescarolo. He was behind Hulme for a while, but the Kiwi retired with wheel problems. This left Gethin free to take 6th and his first points in F1.
Hoping to continue this form, they arrived in Watkins Glen
for the United States Grand Prix
. It appeared that Gethin's Canada pace had not been carried over, as he was back behind Hulme and in 21st on the grid, 3.05 seconds behind Ickx on pole, although he was ahead of de Adamich. He raced strongly in the first half of the race, crucially getting ahead of the Brabhams of Jack Brabham
and Rolf Stommelen
, but both were able to pass him before too long. Tim Schenken and Clay Regazzoni
, who was recovering from technical problems, also exposed his deficiencies in racecraft, leaving him 14th and last, and this was where he finished, 8 laps down on winner Emerson Fittipaldi
in the Lotus.
The season concluded with the Mexican Grand Prix
at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez
in Mexico City
, and Gethin was back on form, qualifying a career best 10th, over half a second ahead of Hulme. He raced strongly again, keeping the faster car of 1964
world champion John Surtees
, in the car bearing his name
, behind for a number of laps. However, the McLaren's reliability issues reared their ugly head again, and he slowed and finally stopped with engine failure on lap 28.
The season ended with Gethin in 23rd in the world championship, with just 1 solitary point earned in Canada.
, in a team now reduced to two cars, with Gethin partnering Hulme for another year. The first qualifying session at Kyalami
went badly for the Englishman, who finished the session 11th, half a second behind his more illustrious team mate and 1.8 seconds behind pole man Jackie Stewart, driving for Tyrrell
. In a race
where Hulme was only denied victory by suspension problems four laps from the end, Gethin dropped back very quickly and retired just 7 laps in with a fuel leak.
The Montjuïc Circuit
was the venue for the Spanish Grand Prix
, which was next on the calendar. Gethin took a career best 7th, only 0.9 seconds behind Jacky Ickx's Ferrari on pole and over three tenths ahead of Hulme. He fast dropped behind Hulme and the second Ferrari of Mario Andretti
, and when things straightened out he was down in 10th, behind Francois Cevert
's Tyrrell and the Lotus of Emerson Fittipaldi as well. However, the retirements of Andretti and Fittipaldi left him 8th, which is where he finished the race - depressingly he had been comfortably outperformed by Hulme, who had taken 5th.
Gethin's first appearance at Monaco
which was the next challenge, and Gethin did not impress in qualifying, being down in 14th, 1.6 seconds behind Hulme and almost four seconds behind Stewart's pole time. He dropped a further place on the first lap, to Rolf Stommelen's Surtees. He gradually gained places, however, due to others' retirements and a good overtake on John Surtees. He ran as high as 11th before he hit the barriers on lap 23.
