Masami Kuwashima (桑島 正美, born September 14, 1950) is a former racing driver from Japan. After some experience in the Japanese lower formulae, he made an attempt at Formula One.
A deal to drive in the 1976 Japanese Grand Prix with
the RAM team came to
nothing, but Kuwashima found a seat with the then-struggling Wolf / Williams team, driving a
Wolf-Williams FW05. He took part in the first practice session for
the race, but proved rather slow. In any case, later that day his
sponsors withdrew their financing of the Williams deal, and Frank Williams
promptly replaced Kuwashima with Hans Binder for the second practice session
and the race itself. Kuwashima was not to have another chance in
F1, and he returned to the Japanese F2000 and F2 series where he
spent the rest of his career.
