John Love was a Rhodesian driver who entered 9 Formula 1 Grands Prix between 1962 and 1972, almost all of them at his home race in South Africa. His best result was second place at the 1967 South African Grand Prix with a Cooper-Climax, where he led for most of the race before a late fuel stop. That result earned him eleventh in the championship. He was a multiple South African champion who raced privately entered cars.
