Finnish F1 drivers: Mikko Kozarowitzky

The second finnish F1 driver was Michael "Mikko" Kozarowitzky in 1977.


With a solid background in various lower formula series, he reached Formula One in 1977. Driving for the RAM team, which was then running March 761 cars, Kozarowitzky entered the 1977 Swedish Grand Prix where he failed to qualify mainly thanks to a lack of testing time in the car.

His next attempt was at the 1977 British Grand Prix where he failed to pre-qualify following an accident avoiding Rupert Keegan during practice. Kozarowitzky broke his hand in the accident and left the team after they wanted him to try to qualify in the spare car despite his injury.

His Formula One plans for 1978 came to nothing due to lack of funds, and he then retired from the sport.


That was all about him! This was a bit short but there isn't anything else to say about his F1 career.
I actually considered contacting him once for an interview but I totally forgot about it. If you feel that I should try to do this then send me a message!
