Biography

Maria Grazia Lombardi was a racing driver from Italy. Born in Frugarolo, Piedmont, she participated in 17 Formula One World Championship Grands Prix. She is the only female Formula One driver in history to have a top six finish in a World Championship race, which she did at the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix (half points were awarded for this race due to a shortened race distance, hence Lombardi received half a point instead of the usual one point.) As well as being the sole female driver to score points in Formula One, she is one of only two who qualified for a Formula One race (the other being compatriot Maria Teresa de Filippis) and the only driver with that career total.

Ex-Formula One racing driver, who raced for: Brabham (1974 (1 GP Not Qualified), 1976 (1 GP)), March (1975 (10 GPs)-1976 (1 GP)) and Williams (1975 (1 GP Not Qualified)). She started 12 Grands Prix and 0.5 Point. Best ranked in the World Championship: 21th in 1975.

She was the first woman to score points in a Grand Prix after finishing in 6th the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix. She scored half point, because this race stopped on lap 29 after the accident of Rolf Stommelen which stopped the Grand Prix before three-fourths of the scheduled race distance was reached. All points were halved.

Teammates in Formula One were: Vittorio Brambilla, Hans-Joachim Stuck and Jacques Laffite.
