Carlos Alberto Menditéguy was an Argentine racing driver and polo player from Buenos Aires, born on 10 August 1914. He entered 11 Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, reaching the podium once and scoring nine championship points in total, and he led the 1956 Argentine Grand Prix for 38 laps until his driveshaft gave out. In polo he reached the highest possible handicap of 10. An all round sportsman, he became a scratch golf player in under two years as the result of a bet with some friends. He died on 27 April 1973 and was buried in La Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires.
