Robert Hugh Fearon Anderson (19 May 1931 – 14 August 1967)[1][2] was a British Grand Prix motorcycle road racer and racing driver. He competed in Grand Prix motorcycle racing from 1958 to 1960[3] and in Formula One from 1963 to the 1967 seasons.[4] He was also a two-time winner of the North West 200 race in Northern Ireland. Anderson was one of the last independent privateer drivers in Formula One before escalating costs made it impossible to compete without sponsorship.[1][5]
