Whitehead made a single appearance in the Formula One World Championship at the 1952 British Grand Prix, held on 19 July 1952. Driving a Formula Two Alta, he finished 12th and did not score any championship points. In addition to his World Championship entry, he also competed in several non-championship Formula One races.
He began his racing career in 1951, driving an ERA previously campaigned by his half-brother, Peter Whitehead. Whitehead later found greater success in endurance racing, most notably finishing second at the 1958 24 Hours of Le Mans. This result came only weeks before the fatal accident that claimed his brother’s life during the Tour de France Automobile. Graham escaped serious injury in the incident.
He also achieved a strong result in the inaugural Goodwood Nine Hours in 1952, finishing second while sharing a Ferrari with American driver Tom Cole.
Following his Le Mans success, Whitehead continued racing with marques such as Aston Martin and the Ferrari 250 GT before retiring from competitive motorsport at the end of 1961.
