Olivier Panis: Olivier Panis, born in Oullins, Lyon, September 2, 1966, is a retired French Formula One racing driver. Panis, like most drivers, raced karts early in his career. After graduating from karts, Olivier raced several years in a number of "junior" series before racing in French Formula 3. He won a championship in that series in 1991. He eventually found himself in Formula 3000, and he won the series' championship there in 1993. Panis left for Toyota's racing team in 2003. He was signed to drive and provide the second-year team his knowledge, as well as help his teammate, Cristiano da Matta, learn the ropes of F1. The end result wasn't any different from previous seasons, as he was 14th again, but the beginning results were not, as was excellent in one-lap qualifying. Panis remained with Toyota for 2004, his tenth season in Formula One. In early October 2004 he announced his intention to retire from racing following the 2004 Japanese Grand Prix; he planned to continue at Toyota as a test driver in 2005 and 2006. Before his retirement, he was the oldest active driver in F1 at the age of 37.
