Bartholemew Worchestershire-Smythe

Bartholemew Worchestershire-Smythe (born 23rd November 1974) is a British racing driver. He is the only son of former Formula One and DTM driver, William Worchestershire-Smythe. 
== Early Life ==
Having been raised on the now abandoned* Worchestershire-Smythe grounds, Bartholemew had gained an interest in motorsport just as his father had. During his father’s brief span in Formula One, Bartholemew religiously watched every race he participated in, dreaming to one day follow in their footsteps to race in the pinnacle of motorsport.
*Following the events of William Worchestershire-Smythe’s F1 career, the family was put into near bankruptcy in order to keep his career afloat. Catherine Smythe, having secretly fled the house with the last of the family’s assets, was able to acquire a seat during the tail end of the 1985 Formula One season in an attempt to regain these lost funds.
== Racing Career ==
In a startling comeback, William was able to race (albeit using hand controls) in the 1990 DTM championship, managing to claw just enough success throughout the season to invest his winnings in horse racing over several years. With this, he was able to fund his son’s racing career. In the mid-90s, Bartholemew earned his way through the lower divisions, picking up consistent, though not spectacular results. As a result of this, in the closing months of 1996 it was reported that Bartholemew would drive for the Tyrrell Formula One team for 1997.
=== Formula One ===
Bartholemew made his Formula One debut at the 1997 Brazilian Grand Prix and scored points in his first appearance in the sport, despite the Tyrrell car lacking speed and reliability. He would go on to take part in a further three events before leaving the team for unknown reasons.
