Profile
After being one of the rising stars in the immediate post-war years, Robert was a mainstay of the Gordini team in the early 1950s, despite the fact that it was an era dominated by Maserati, Ferrari and then Mercedes. He did put in some excellent performances, however, including third places in the 1952 Belgian Grand Prix and at Reims in 1954, driving a privately entered Ferrari in the latter. After winning the Pescara sports car race for Gordini against the more powerful Ferraris in 1956, Robert retired to run the family business.
