[singlepic=2,150,,,right]Between 1989 and 1995 Bertrand Gachot scored five points in Formula One. He started his career with the Onyx team but failed to pre-qualify for the first six races. Finally in the French Grand Prix he made his race debut with a 13th place finish. In the final two races of 1989 he drove for the Rial team and in 1990 he joined the Coloni team where he failed to pre-qualify for all the races. His real break in Formula One came in 1991 with the new Jordan team. In the Canadian Grand Prix he scored two points with a fifth position and in the British and German Grands Prix he finished sixth. After the Hungarian Grand Prix Gachot attacked a London cab driver with teargas and was sentenced to 18 months in prison. The sentence was later revoked but Jordan had already signed a deal with Michael Schumacher. In 1992 he made a comeback with the Venturi team and the only highlight of the year was a point in the Monaco Grand Prix.
In 1994 and 1995 he drove for the Pacific team but the car was not good enough to fight for any points. The closest he got to a point finish was in the Australian Grand Prix of 1995 where he finish in eight and last position.
