Torsten Palm (born July 23, 1947 in Kristinehamn) participated in two Formula One World Championship Grands Prix with a rented Hesketh in 1975, the Monaco and Swedish GP.

Like Roos, Palm’s sole F1 appearance came on home soil when he hired a Hesketh 308 to contest the 1975 Swedish Grand Prix. After failing to qualify the car at Monaco, Palm was relieved to make the grid at Anderstorp, but in the race he could manage only tenth place.
