Les LESTON

Les Leston was a British Formula 1 driver active during the mid-1950s, competing in two World Championship Grands Prix. Over his brief career, he raced for Cooper and Connaught teams but did not achieve podium finishes, wins, or championship points. Despite completing both races he entered without retirements, his average positions gained per race stood at -3.0, indicating a net loss of positions during his appearances.

Leston's career statistics reflect a 0.0% win and podium rate, with no pole positions recorded. His participation spanned a notably long period of 70 years, though his Formula 1 World Championship involvement was limited to just two events. He also did not register any notable results in wet weather conditions. The absence of retirements (0.0% DNF rate) suggests reliability in finishing races, albeit without competitive results.

From a performance metrics perspective, Leston's record places him among drivers with minimal impact on the championship standings during his era. His lack of points and podiums, combined with a negative average position change, highlights the challenges he faced in achieving competitive success in Formula 1.
