'''Thierry Marc Alain Boutsen''' ({{IPA|fr|tjɛ.ʁi but.sɛn|lang}}; born 13 July 1957)<ref>{{Cite web |title=Thierry Marc Alain Boutsen, Monaco |url=https://www.northdata.com/Boutsen,%20Thierry%20Marc%20Alain,%20Monaco/9n0 |access-date=2025-04-16 |website=www.northdata.com |language=en}}</ref> is a Belgian former [[racing driver]], businessman and [[motorsport]] executive, who competed in [[Formula One]] from {{F1|1983}} to {{F1|1993}}. Boutsen won three [[Formula One Grands Prix]] across 11 seasons. 

Boutsen competed in Formula One for [[Arrows Grand Prix International|Arrows]], [[Benetton Formula|Benetton]], [[Williams Racing|Williams]], [[Équipe Ligier|Ligier]] and [[Jordan Grand Prix|Jordan]]. He finished fourth in the [[1988 Formula One season|1988 World Drivers' Championship]] with Benetton. Boutsen also competed in 10 editions of the [[24 Hours of Le Mans]] from {{24hLM|1981}} to {{24hLM|1999}}, finishing runner-up in {{24hLM|1993}} and {{24hLM|1996}} with [[Peugeot Sport|Peugeot]] and [[Porsche in motorsport|Porsche]], respectively.

Since retiring from motor racing, Boutsen has moved into the [[aviation]] industry, selling [[business jet]]s from his firm in [[Monaco]]. He is also the founder, co-owner and advisor to [[Boutsen Ginion Racing|Boutsen Racing]], who have competed in [[touring car racing]] since 1998.

==Career==

===Junior formulae and sportscars===
After winning the "Volant V" in 1977 at the André Pilette Racing School, Zolder, Boutsen entered the Belgian [[Formula Ford]] 1600 championship and won it in 1978 with 15 victories in 18 races.<ref name="grandprix.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/drv-bouthi.html |title=DRIVERS: THIERRY BOUTSEN |publisher=GrandPrix.com |access-date=14 September 2011}}</ref> He also entered the 1978 Spa 24 Hours race, the last auto race on the old 14&nbsp;km (8.7&nbsp;mi) Spa-Francorchamps circuit- driving a Toyota Trueno.<ref>{{cite web|author=Photo by courtesy of: Didier Steyaert |url=http://www.racingsportscars.com/etcc/photo/Spa-1978-07-22.html |title=Spa 24 Hours 1978 - Photo Gallery |publisher=Racing Sports Cars |date=22 July 1978 |access-date=2012-08-15 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110715142700/http://www.racingsportscars.com/etcc/photo/Spa-1978-07-22.html |archive-date=15 July 2011 }}</ref> For 1979 he moved to [[Formula 3]], winning three races in 1980 and second place in the [[FIA European Formula 3 Championship (1975–1984)|European title race]], behind [[Michele Alboreto]].<ref name="grandprix.com"/> In 1981 he moved to [[Formula 2]] and was again second in the [[1981 European Formula Two season|European championship]], including winning at the 14-mile [[Nürburgring]]- this time behind [[Geoff Lees (racing driver)|Geoff Lees]].<ref name="grandprix.com"/>

He also entered the [[1981 24 Hours of Le Mans]]. The race started at 3pm in unusually hot weather – one hour earlier than usual due to the [[1981 French legislative election|Parliamentary elections]] held on the same weekend. At 4:06pm Boutsen suffered a massive accident just after the Hunaudières kink, some {{Convert|400|m|mi}} before the [[Mulsanne]] bosse (the "hump") when his WM P81-Peugeot was travelling at some {{Convert|350|km/h|mi/h|0|abbr=on}}. A suspension piece had failed and the car hit the guard-rail losing the entire rear end. Boutsen was untouched, but the debris field of hurled parts and bodywork was spread over {{Convert|150|m}}. Three marshals and a [[Gendarmerie|gendarme]] were struck by the debris. One of them, Thierry Mabilat, was killed - struck in the chest by a detached piece of the guard rail. The other two marshals, Claude Hertault and Serge David (who lost an arm), and the gendarme were all seriously injured.

In 1983 Boutsen drove in the [[European Touring Car Championship]] and in [[World Sportscar Championship|World Sportscar]] races,<ref name="grandprix.com"/> where he won the very first Group C race, the Monza 1000&nbsp;km with [[Bob Wollek]] driving a Porsche 956. He also won the famous [[24 Hours of Daytona|Daytona 24-hour race]] in 1985, co-driving the [[Porsche 956]] from the Preston Henn Racing with [[Bob Wollek]], [[A. J. Foyt]] and [[Al Unser Sr]].

===Formula One===
====Arrows====
Boutsen was considered a promising driver, testing for [[McLaren (racing)|McLaren]] and [[Brabham]]. He was briefly attached to the [[Spirit Racing|Spirit Honda F1]] project before losing out to his [[Formula Two]] teammate [[Stefan Johansson]]. [[image:Boutsen Arrows A7 1984 Dallas F1.jpg|thumb|left|Boutsen driving for [[Arrows Grand Prix International|Arrows]] at the [[1984 Dallas Grand Prix]].]]In 1983 he paid $500,000 for a drive in Formula One and made his debut with [[Arrows Grand Prix International|Arrows]] at his home race, the [[1983 Belgian Grand Prix]] at the shortened 7&nbsp;km (4.3&nbsp;mi) [[Spa-Francorchamps|Spa]].<ref name="grandprix.com"/> While he scored no points in 1983 his careful handling and close performance compared to experienced teammate [[Marc Surer]] allowed him to foster a positive reputation within the team. With backing from [[Barclay (cigarette)|Barclay]] cigarettes he remained with Arrows for a further three seasons. The first saw Arrows struggle with their difficult [[Arrows A7|first]] [[Turbocharger|turbocharged]] car, with powerful [[BMW in Formula One|BMW]] turbo engines but poor handling. Boutsen scored points twice in the old [[Cosworth DFV]] powered [[Arrows A6|A6]] and once in the turbo machine. His second season saw several notable results, including 2nd place at [[1985 San Marino Grand Prix|Imola]]. Boutsen crossed the line third, behind [[Alain Prost]] and [[Elio de Angelis]] but after the race, Prost was disqualified because his car was 2&nbsp;kg underweight. Three more points scores saw him 11th overall in the standings. A final season with Arrows saw no points for Boutsen in an uncompetitive car, but in parallel to F1 he drove for the [[Walter Brun]] team in [[Group C]] and clinched the World Championship title with them in 1986, winning that year's [[6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps|Spa 1000&nbsp;km]].

====Benetton====
[[image:Thierry Boutsen 1988 Canada 2.jpg|thumb|right|Boutsen driving for [[Benetton Formula|Benetton]] at the [[1988 Canadian Grand Prix]].]]
Boutsen got his big chance when he switched to the works [[Ford engines|Ford]] [[Ford Europe|Europe]] F1 team, [[Benetton Formula|Benetton]], for the {{f1|1987}} season as teammate to [[Teo Fabi]]. While the package wasn't a race winner, it did allow him to run regularly in the top 6. He scored points in six races, his best being awarded 3rd place in [[1987 Australian Grand Prix|Adelaide]] after the disqualification of [[Ayrton Senna]]'s [[Team Lotus|Lotus]] and moved to 8th overall. At the [[Australian Grand Prix]], Boutsen was furious with Fabi when the Italian refused to let his teammate lap him for a number of laps. When Boutsen confronted Fabi about this after the race, a frustrated Fabi (who had been unable to find an F1 drive for {{f1|1988}}), told the Belgian to "come back and see me when you have a pole position". Fabi scored no wins in his F1 career but did have 3 poles to his name while at that stage Boutsen could only boast his 2nd place at Imola in 1985.

{{f1|1988}} saw Boutsen with a new teammate, the Italian [[Alessandro Nannini]]. When [[Cosworth]] stopped development of their turbocharged V6 engine, Benetton were forced to switch to normally aspirated [[Cosworth DFR|Ford DFR]] [[V8 engine]]s in anticipation of the banning of turbos in 1989. Boutsen's consistency, mechanical sympathy and speed in the [[Rory Byrne]] designed [[Benetton B188]] saw him score points in 10 of the 16 races, including five 3rd-place finishes (all behind the all-conquering [[McLaren]]-[[Honda F1|Honda]] cars), and place 4th overall as the best non-turbo driver in the field.

====Williams====
[[Frank Williams (Formula One)|Frank Williams]] signed Boutsen in the summer of 1988 to replace [[Nigel Mansell]] for 1989 as  Mansell had signed to move to Ferrari.<ref>Associated Press. As seen in the 11 July 1988 edition of the Ocala (Florida, USA) Star Banner newspaper. Accessed 29 August 2021. Link: https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1356&dat=19880711&id=WrdPAAAAIBAJ&sjid=5gYEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1025,3057958</ref> Boutsen's reputation as a reliable, fast driver with good development skills saw Williams sign him on a two-year contract.

For 1989, he drove the new [[V10 engine|V10]] [[Renault F1|Renault]] powered [[Williams FW12|Williams FW12C]]. {{f1|1989}} began with Boutsen on the back foot due to a heavy pre-season testing crash in [[Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet|Rio]] and because veteran teammate [[Riccardo Patrese]] had a major resurgence in form. However at the [[1989 Canadian Grand Prix|Canadian Grand Prix]], Boutsen drove well in wet conditions and took his maiden victory after Senna suffered a late engine failure. Although it was a welcome win (Boutsen became the first new winner in F1 since former Arrows teammate [[Gerhard Berger]] had won the [[1986 Mexican Grand Prix]] for Benetton), it was considered a lucky win for the Belgian as he had been last at one stage and had a full 360° spin, though luckily he managed to keep his car off the walls. He managed to catch and pass Patrese who was suffering with a loose undertray and took the lead 3 laps from the end when the Honda V10 engine in Senna's [[McLaren MP4/5]] seized. Three more podium finishes came before Boutsen rounded the year off with a second victory at the rain-soaked [[1989 Australian Grand Prix|Australian Grand Prix]]. Ironically Boutsen had been one of the drivers protesting about the conditions at the circuit before the race.

{{f1|1990}} saw more consistent points scoring drives, including his third and final Grand Prix victory - a lights-to-flag victory in [[1990 Hungarian Grand Prix|Hungary]] where he took his first pole position and held off sustained pressure from Alessandro Nannini (Benetton) and Ayrton Senna (McLaren) to win. However, with Nigel Mansell available in 1991, Williams felt they needed a 'star' driver to put together a championship bid. Despite Boutsen winning three races in two years to Patrese's one and finishing every race in 1990 in the points (top 6) barring retirements, the team felt that Patrese had been more consistent (and had worked well with Mansell in 1988) and decided to keep the Italian to drive alongside Mansell.

====Ligier====
[[File:Thierry Boutsen - Jordan 193 during practice for the 1993 British Grand Prix (32843913904).jpg|thumb|Boutsen driving for [[Jordan Grand Prix|Jordan]] at the [[1993 British Grand Prix]].]]
With no vacancies among the top teams Boutsen had to drop down to the [[Equipe Ligier|Ligier]] team. Despite having a sizeable budget and [[Lamborghini V12 engine]]s, the [[Ligier JS35|JS35]] was an uncompetitive car and Boutsen was frequently unable to disguise his disgust with the machinery given to him. The arrival of Renault engines in 1992 improved matters a little and in his [[1992 Australian Grand Prix|final]] race for the team he scored 5th place, his first points since leaving Williams.

====Jordan====
Initially he was unable to find a drive for 1993 but Barclay secured him a slot at [[Jordan Grand Prix|Jordan]], replacing [[Ivan Capelli]]. Boutsen was too tall for the car and largely outpaced by young teammate [[Rubens Barrichello]], failing to score any points in ten races. With [[Eddie Jordan]] keen to bring in younger, well-sponsored drivers to the seat the decision was taken to turn Boutsen's [[1993 Belgian Grand Prix|home race]] into a farewell event, though he retired on the first lap.

===Touring cars===

For 1994, Boutsen was hired by Ford Motorsport to lead their works challenge on the newly created [[Super Tourenwagen Cup]] in Germany. Driving a factory prepared [[Ford Mondeo]] built by [[Eggenberger Motorsport]], that first season was a learning year for both Boutsen and the team.

The following year, Boutsen was joined by his old Williams teammate Riccardo Patrese, but the season was a disaster. Attempting to follow Audi's lead by developing a four-wheel drive car, the Mondeo was totally uncompetitive.

Boutsen started in only the first four races in 1996 before leaving the team and turning his attention to sports car racing. After three years of limited success, Ford pulled the plug on the project at the end of that season to focus solely on the [[British Touring Car Championship|British series]].

===Sportscars===
Boutsen then drove sports cars in the US, driving for Champion Racing in a Porsche 911 GT1, alongside [[Bill Adam]] and [[Hans-Joachim Stuck|Hans Stuck]].  The trio finished 2nd in class at the [[24 Hours of Daytona]] in 1997, Boutsen won the GT-1 US Championship with the Champion Racing in 1998. After a crash at Le Mans in 1999 at the wheel of a [[Toyota GT-One]] he retired from racing altogether.<ref name="grandprix.com"/>

==Helmet==
[[image:Thierry Boutsen helmet.jpg|thumb|right|Boutsen's helmet on display at the [[WilliamsF1|Williams]] team's museum]]
Boutsen's helmet was black with a red, orange and yellow ribbon design surrounding the visor and the rear area. The colours used are the colours of the [[Flag of Belgium|Belgian flag]] (except for orange).

==Business==
Today Boutsen runs his own company, [[Boutsen Aviation]], in [[Monaco]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=BOUTSEN AVIATION|url=https://www.boutsen.com/|access-date=2020-11-22|website=boutsen.com}}</ref> Its business is the "Sale and Acquisition of Business Jets". He founded the company in 1997 with his wife Daniela and up to May 2011, the company had sold 205 aircraft, ranging from Airbus Corporate Jets to Cessna Citation. He is also co-owner of Boutsen Energy Racing alongside his brother-in-law Olivier Lainé and Georges Kaczka. The team competes in the [[Formula Le Mans]] class in the [[Le Mans Series]]. Boutsen also runs cars in [[Formula Renault]] and [[Eurocup Mégane Trophy]].
