Gordini was a French team and constructor run by Amedee Gordini, known as Le Sorcier for the performance he got from small engines. It raced in Formula 1 from 1952 to 1956 with its own six-cylinder engines, with Jean Behra, Robert Manzon, Maurice Trintignant, Hermano da Silva Ramos and Harry Schell as drivers. Behra's third place at the 1952 Swiss Grand Prix was one of its 2 podiums, but the team never won a race. Gordini started 33 Grands Prix in all.
