Johnny Cecotto is a Venezuelan driver who was already a two-time motorcycle Grand Prix world champion before he moved to Formula 1. He raced for Theodore in 1983 and Toleman in 1984, entering 18 Grands Prix, and scored his only championship point with sixth place at the 1983 United States Grand Prix West at Long Beach. A severe leg injury in a practice crash at the 1984 British Grand Prix ended his Formula 1 career, and he later returned to racing in touring cars.
