Buoyed with this initial success, he moved into Formula 2 with a Cooper T51 for 1959 and was soon on the pace, winning at Montlhéry and finishing fourth at Pau. More good results followed in 1960 resulting in the British Formula 2 title. Jack moved up to Formula 1 as a private entrant, under the family H and L Motors banner and later Ecurie Galloise, with a BRM which proved disastrous and was quickly returned. He competed in a total of ten Formula 1 races with some creditable performances but quit racing at the end of 1962 to take up farming. There is an interesting 2006 interview with Jack Lewis here: http://www.gpfactsandnumbers.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Jack-Lewis-2006.pdf in which he explains his “Welshness”, or lack of it. |
