About Hans Binder

Hans Binder (born 12 June 1948) is an Austrian former Formula One driver who raced for the Ensign, Wolf, Surtees and ATS teams. Binder won the European Formula Ford Championship in 1972 and moved into Formula 2 in 1976. During this year, he raced at his home Grand Prix and the Japanese GP. In 1977, he moved to the Surtees team and also raced three times for ATS. He then returned to Surtees before the end of the season. In 1978, he failed to qualify for his home Grand Prix with ATS before disappearing from the Formula One scene. He has since been in the family business Binderholz GmbH dealing in timber products. Binder's brother Franz was also a racing driver, and his nephew René competed in the IndyCar Series in 2018.
