He holds the unusual accolade of being the only driver to be disqualified from a Formula One World Championship race due to being too slow.

Biography

Growing up in England, he joined the British Army as a young man, serving in India, Rhodesia and Egypt. After his service, he emigrated to the United States, then Canada, in the 1960s; after a brief career as an illustrator, he took up motorsports.<ref name="WATN">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

He participated in three Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on 27 August 1967. He is the only competitor disqualified from a World Championship race, the 1969 Canadian Grand Prix, for being too slow. He was black-flagged after a series of on-track incidents, the last involving Matra driver Jackie Stewart. In response, Matra owner, Ken Tyrrell, protested to the officials and had Pease disqualified. At the time, he had completed 22 laps in an uncompetitive car while the leaders had finished 46.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> His Formula One career was limited to three Canadian Grands Prix, consisting of a non-classification (1967, finishing 43 laps behind the leaders), a failure to start (engine trouble in 1968), and a disqualification (1969).

Despite the brief duration of his Formula One career, Pease was highly successful in domestic Canadian motorsport competitions, and was inducted as a member of the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame in 1998.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

He died on 4 May 2014 at his home in Tennessee.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
