| - Keith Jack "Jackie" Oliver (14th August 1942) is a former Formula One driver, and founder of the Arrows F1 effort, born in Chadwell Heath, Essex, in the United Kingdom. Beginning his career in his native Britain, Oliver progressed through club racing, through the British Saloon Car Championship and into Formula Two, before obtaining a one-off drive with Team Lotus at the 1967 German Grand Prix. An impressive début in Germany, in which Oliver finished fifth in a F2 machine, saw him signed up to Team Lotus for the 1968 Championship, with the Brit ultimately ending the season on the podium at the Mexican Grand Prix. Oliver was to be forced out of the team at the end of the season, replaced by Jochen Rindt, although he would signup to drive for BRM just a few days later. Two seasons with BRM saw Oliver retire more often than not due to mechanical issues, before he moved on to the World Sportscar Championship for 1971. He would return to Grand Prix racing later that season, however, joining the McLaren Racing outfit mid-season, before only competing at one race in 1972 for old team BRM. Oliver would complete one more full season in 1973 for Shadow F1, before retiring from Grand Prix racing at the end of the season. Oliver continued on with Shadow in their other Championship commitments, briefly returning to the F1 field for one final taste in 1977, before ending his involvement with the American team at the end of the year. Oliver then founded the Arrows F1 team with a number of ex-Shadow employees in 1978, and remained at the helm until 1996, finally breaking his involvement with Arrows, and F1, in 1999.

Oliver moved to Donlavey Racing in 1972, competing with that team for seven events on the year. In his debut with the team at Rockingham, Oliver earned his first career top-10 start with a tenth place start. However, he finished that event 40th and continued to struggle finishing races. In seven races, he only finished one race. However, it was worth it as Oliver finished 4th at South Boston, his best career finish. On the flipside, Oliver's best finish other than the Dover race was a 22nd at Darlington and Oliver lost his ride.
