 * Keep - A very clear pass of WP:NMOTORSPORT (competed in World Championship events, competed at Le Mans, including winning in class and the Index of Performance). There would be more contemporary sources, especially in French, but I was able to find enough coverage in some books to improve the article (which I will do when I have the time though I don't normally edit biographies), using for example Gregor Grant's Formula 2, Quentin Spuring's Le Mans 1949-59 and Peter Higham's Formula 1 Car by Car 1950-59. Basic biographic information can be verified by the motorsport magazine database (I'll add this to the article). I also found some substantial coverage of him online here and here(French) though I'm unsure of the reliability of these sources. A7V2 (talk) 03:57, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Definitely keep since the subject clearly meets WP:NMOTORSPORT, A7V2 has found enough to clear WP:SIGCOV anyway. 5225C (talk &bull; contributions) 09:02, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 *  Speedy keep F1 drivers, at whatevever level, are generally considered notable, particularly competitors in World Champ events. His bio in confirms (and extends) the information at the page. Eagleash (talk) 09:12, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep - Blatantly notable. A basic WP:BEFORE search shows numerous sources exist, although many aren't in English. Deletion is not cleanup. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 11:10, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep - he raced in Formula One for five years for goodness sake. Mathmo Talk 10:23, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
