Bertil Roos

Bertil Ingemar Roos was a Swedish racing driver from Gothenburg. He participated in a single Formula One Grand Prix, his home race in 1974, from which he retired with transmission failure.

Career

Despite enjoying early promise in winning the US Formula Super Vee title in 1973, and also doing well in Formula 2 in Europe and Formula Atlantic in Canada, Roos only received one shot at Formula One. He and his team, Shadow, did not get on particularly well, and ultimately the team chose to work with Tom Pryce instead. Roos went back to the US and Canada, where he continued racing.
Roos was the senior driving instructor for the Fred Opert racing school in Pennsylvania, USA near Pocono Raceway, a business that he later purchased.
Still racing in the 1980s, Roos was a two-time Can-Am champion in the 2 liter and under category.
Roos died at Pocono Medical Center, East Stroudsburg Pennsylvania, on 31 March 2016.
