Pedro Rodríguez de la Vega (18 January 1940 – 11 July 1971) was a Mexicanracing driver, who competed inFormula One from1963 to1971. Rodríguez won twoFormula One Grands Prix across nine seasons. Inendurance racing, Rodríguez won the24 Hours of Le Mans in1968 withFord, and was a two-time winner of the24 Hours of Daytona withPorsche.
Born and raised inMexico City, Rodríguez was the older brother of racing driverRicardo Rodríguez, who became thefirst Mexican driver to compete in Formula One in 1961. Both brothers started racing at an early age, first on motorbikes and then moving to cars. Following his brother's death in a racing accident in 1962, Pedro briefly considered retiring from racing, but decided to carry on. In sportscar racing his first major win was with his brother in the 1961 Paris 1000km, driving aFerrari 250 GT. He began his Formula One career in 1963, won the1967 South African Grand Prix in aCooper and the1970 Belgian Grand Prix in aBRM. He won the1968 24 Hours of Le Mans in aFord GT40 and won eight races in thePorsche 917 across 1970 and 1971.
In July 1971, Rodríguez was killed at theNorisring inWest Germany, driving aFerrari 512 M in anInterserie sportscar race.

Rodríguez was born inMexico City,Mexico, the son of Pedro Natalio Rodríguez and Concepción De la Vega. He had an older sister, Conchita, and three younger brothers: Ricardo, Federico (died at two months of age) and Alejandro.
At 15, his father sent him toWestern Military Academy inAlton, Illinois, in order to learn English and to develop more discipline.[1]
The Rodríguez brothers raced bicycles and motorcycles, becoming Mexican national motorcycle champions in 1953 and 1954. Pedro made his international debut in cars atNassau in 1957 in aFerrari.
He married Angelina (née Damy), in Mexico in 1961, although he had a girlfriend in England, Glenda Foreman, with whom he lived inBray on Thames in his later years, but left no children.[citation needed]
Rodríguez always traveled with aMexican flag and arecord of the national anthem because when he won the1967 South African GP the organizers did not have theMexican anthem, and instead played theMexican hat dance.[2][3]
Jo Ramírez was a very close friend to both Rodríguez and his younger brother, Ricardo.
Rodríguez began racing with bicycles at eight years old.[4] He was a class winner in the Mexican Championship by 1950. He started racing a 125 cc (7.6 cu in)Adlermotorcycle, winning Mexico's national championship in 1952 and 1954.[5] In 1952, he entered a rally in a Ford, but achieved little.[5] He returned to racing full-time in 1955, at 15, entering aJaguar XK120 orPorsche 1600S in local contests.[5]
At the end of 1957, Rodríguez (who had been driving aChevrolet Corvette in Mexico) and his brother entered the Nassau Speed Week competition, where the wild-driving elder brother wrecked hisFerrari500 TR.[5]
The 18-year-old Rodríguez shared a 500 TR atLe Mans, entered by U.S. importerLuigi Chinetti, withJosé Behra, brother ofJean Behra, as his co-driver; the car did not finish, after a radiator hose puncture.[5] Rodríguez came back every year to Le Mans, fourteen times in total, and won in1968, co-driving with BelgianLucien Bianchi, sharing aFord GT40 for theJW–Gulf team.
At the Reims 12-hours in 1958, Rodríguez and Behra placed second in class (eighth overall) in theirPorsche Carrera, while Rodríguez came second in aFerrari 250 TR at Nassau at the end of the season.[5]
Rodríguez went to Europe to race starting in 1959, sharing a Porsche 1600 S with Leo Levine at theNurbürgring 1000 km, which came in second in class (thirteenth overall).[5] He shared a 750 cc (46 cu in)O.S.C.A. with his brother for Le Mans, which broke.[5]
At Cuba's 1960 Liberty Grand Prix, Rodríguez's 250TR followedStirling Moss's winningMaseratiTipo 61 home, in second.[5] AtSebring, hisDino 196 S failed to finish.[6] Rodríguez claimed seventh at the 1960Targa Florio, again in the 196 S, which spent time off the pavement as well as on.[5] He retired from that year's Nürburgring 1000 km, and from Le Mans.[5]
In 1961, Rodríguez enteredFormula Junior.[5] He returned also to Sebring, sharing a 250TR with his brother which suffered electrical trouble and came third.[5] The duo also failed to finish that year's Targa Florio or Nürburgring 1000 km, but did win the Paris 1000 km.[5] An ongoing duel with the works Ferraris at Le Mans, which ultimately resulted in engine failure only two hours from the end, attracted the attention ofEnzo Ferrari, who offered themFormula One rides withhis team.[5] Pedro declined, having "a motor business in Mexico City to run".[5]
Despite his refusal, Rodríguez kept racing, and in 1962 entered at Sebring, the Nürburgring, and Le Mans, but failed to finish each time.[5] He won atBridgehampton, in aFerrari 330 TRI/LM, and shared a250 GTO with his brother to win the Paris 1000 km, the second year in a row.[5]
After Ferrari refused to enter the 1962Mexican Grand Prix, the first to be held in Mexico, Rodríguez and his younger brother both found rides of their own. After his brother was killed in a horrific accident in practice, Rodríguez withdrew.[5] He considered retiring from racing. However, in 1963 he won theDaytonaContinental in a 250GTO entered byNorth American Racing Team.[5] He came third at Sebring, sharing a 330TR/LM withGraham Hill.[7] He failed to qualify atIndianapolis, in anAston Martin-poweredCooper T54, but took part in his firstGrand Prix in theworks Lotus atWatkins Glen andMagdalena Mixhuca. Rodríguez failed to finish both times.[8]
Also in 1963, driving for Kjell Qvale Racing, he won his second USRRC ( FIA Group 7 cars) event in the Huffaker chassis#2 Mk8 GENIE/Chevrolet, then went on to win again in their chassis#3 Mk8 GENIE/Ford
For 1964, he again won the Daytona Continental, as well as the sports car Canadian Grand Prix, was second at the Paris 1000 km, and third in the Bahamas Tourist Trophy.[8] In single-seater racing, he recorded a sixth in theFerrari 156 atMexico.[8]
In 1965, hisLotus 33-Climax was fourth at theDaily ExpressSilverstone Trophy, fifth at theU.S. Grand Prix and seventh in theMexican Grand Prix in a Ferrari.[8] He won the Reims 12-Hours in aFerrari 365 P2 he shared withJean Guichet, and scored a third at the Canadian Sports Car Grand Prix.[8]
He drove again for Lotus in four events in 1966, retiring on every occasion.[8] He also deputised forJim Clark in theFormula Two event at Rouen.[8]At the start of the1967 season, Rodríguez won for the first time in only his ninth Grand Prix, atKyalami.[9] This was the first ever Grand Prix win for a Mexican driver. Cooper managerRoy Salvadori allowed Rodríguez to drive the practice car, over the objections of teammateJochen Rindt, who had demanded Rodríguez's car, with strong support from Rindt's close friendJackie Stewart.[citation needed] Rodríguez's smooth, consistent driving earned him victory afterDenny Hulme had had a lengthypit stop and localprivateerJohn Love's Tasman Cooper needed a late fuel stop. Rindt, by contrast, retired the other Cooper-Maserati after 38 laps. Rodríguez drove a controlled season in 1967 as No. 2 to Rindt. Though usually slower than his teammate, he built up experience in the older and heavierT81, while Rindt was given the improvedT81B and later the brand newT86.[10][clarification needed] A mid-season accident in aProtos-Ford, at the Formula Two event at Enna, sidelined him for three Grand Prix.[8] Rodríguez was only marginally slower than Rindt in theDutch Grand Prix,[11] also the only other race in the season where the Coopers were competitive.
His performance atZandvoort earned Rodríguez a better drive withBRM in1968.[12] Rodríguez proved himself excellent in the wet at Zandvoort andRouen where he got his onlyfastest lap in F1 during theFrench GP.[13] Lack of power meant he had to settle for second behindBruce McLaren during theBelgian GP atFrancorchamps.[14][15]
TheBRM P133 faded through the year from lack of testing time after the death ofMike Spence, whom the team's owners favoured.[citation needed] Nevertheless, Rodríguez led theSpanish Grand Prix fromChris Amon for 28 laps until he made a mistake and spun off.[16] At the end of the year, despite Rodríguez's good performances, BRM team managerLouis Stanley released Rodríguez to theParnell BRM privateer team.
TheReg Parnell Racing BRMs proved to have hopeless engines, and afterMonaco,[17] Rodríguez left and signed forFerrari for the remainder of the1969 Grand Prix and sports car series.
Reentering F1 in theBritish Grand Prix,[18] Rodríguez matched teammate Amon's pace in practice and led Amon by a whisker in the race. The uncompetitive312s ran midfield until Rodríguez's car broke and Amon's engine blew for the second race in a row. Given the hopelessness of the 312 V12, the frustration of his drivers, and the slow progress with getting the new flat-12 F1 car ready,Enzo Ferrari would rather have run two Italian drivers for the rest of the season, but the Brambilla brothers,Vittorio andErnesto, proved too slow. So, Ferrari ran Rodríguez in the last four races of the season, in NART American racing colours for the North American races, but still, effectively, as a Ferrari works team. All in all, Rodríguez managed a fourth place in 1968;[19] sixth in 1964,[20] 1967[21] and 1970;[22] and seventh in 1965[23] and 1969;[22] while retiring in 1963 and 1966; in his eight home races in Mexico, but Ferrari didn't offer him a ride for 1970.
BRM only offered him a ride in1970 afterJohn Surtees decided to leave to set up his own team at the last minute. For most of 1970, Stanley clearly favouredJackie Oliver as number one driver, perhaps partly in response to Stewart's opinion of Rodríguez and possibly because of his "old-boys' club" of Englishmen at the team.[citation needed] AtFrancorchamps, Rodríguez won with hisBRM P153 over the newMarch of Chris Amon by just 1.1 seconds and with an average speed of 149.94mph (241.31km/h), then the highest average speed in the history of F1,[24]Jean-Pierre Beltoise got the third place in a Matra.[25]
The power of the V12 engines was particularly suited to the fast circuits with few really slow corners, such as Francorchamps,Monza, and to a degreeBrands Hatch and theNürburgring, and that was usually the case with the BRM,Matra, andWeslake engined cars. A strong drive atCircuit Mont-Tremblant saw him finish 4th. Only the need to pit in the last laps for fuel robbed him of a victory atWatkins Glen, the highest paying event of the year at the time (US$50,000).[26][clarification needed]The winner wasEmerson Fittipaldi, who won his first race in F1.[27]
After many years racing for Ferrari in theWorld Championship of Makes for sports cars, he signed for JW-Gulf-Porsche in1970 and over the next two years won eight races driving aPorsche 917, contributing to Porsche winning in the World Sportscar Championship.[28][29]
Rodríguez developed into one of the sport's great all-rounders, racingCanAm,NASCAR,rallies and even becoming North AmericanIce Racing champion in 1970, invited by the Alaska Sports Car Club fromAnchorage, the race was inSand Lake.
Rodríguez debuted in NASCAR atTrenton Speedway in 1959, finishing 6th. At the 1963Firecracker 400 he qualified 9th but retired after an engine failure. The Mexican finished 5th in the 1965World 600, his best result. At the1971 Daytona 500 he finished 13th. His last NASCAR race wasMiller High Life 500, where he retired early with electrical issues[30]
Rodríguez drove a Ferrari 312 P Coupé in the CanAm round ofBridgehampton in 1969, finishing 5th. In 1970 he finished 3rd atRiverside and 5th atLaguna Seca Raceway with a factoryBRM P154.
The1971 Formula One season could have seen him as a championship contender, with aBRM P160 being prepared byTony Southgate, and for once BRM had consistently good engines. BRM, however, was overextended, trying to run three, and later four, cars. Rodríguez challengedJacky Ickx in the rain during theDutch Grand Prix, and only just failed to win.[31][32]

Rodríguez was killed in anInterserie sports car race atNorisring inNuremberg, West Germany, on 11 July 1971. Rodríguez was at the wheel of aFerrari 512 M ofHerbert Müller Racing, his friend and teammate at theTarga Florio in 1971.A contemporary source reported that trackside photographers noticed his right front tyre coming away from the rim under heavy braking for the sharp s-bend as early as the 10th lap. On lap 12, the tyre came off completely, sending the car into a wall before rebounding across the track and catching fire.[33] He died shortly after he was extracted from the wreck.[34]
Rodríguez was considered the best driver of his era in the wet.[35][36] Along withJo Siffert, he was considered the bravest driver in motorsport, an example of this being the two touching through the then-very narrow and very dangerous Eau Rouge corner in the rain in their 917s at the start of the1970 1000km of Spa-Francorchamps.
In 2016, in an academic paper that reported a mathematical modeling study that assessed the relative influence of driver and machine, Rodríguez was ranked the 24th-best Formula One driver of all time.[37]
After winning theLMP2 class at the2013 24 Hours of Le Mans, the first class victory for a Mexican driver since Rodríguez,Ricardo González recognized Rodríguez as his hero.[38][39]
The first hairpin atDaytona International Speedway (the right-handhairpin) is named the Pedro Rodríguez curve.[citation needed] In 1973 the Mexico City race trackMagdalena Mixuhca, where F1,Champ Car,NASCAR and other series race was renamed for him and Ricardo:Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez (Rodríguez Brothers Autodrome).
In July 2006, a bronze plaque was placed at the site of his crash in Nuremberg, a joint effort byScuderia Rodríguez (the friends foundation) and the city authorities.[40][41] Its Secretary General, Carlos Jalife, published the Rodríguez brothers' biography in December 2006, with an English translation[42][43] which won the Motor Press Guild Book of the Year award in 2009.[44]
Sergio Pérez wore a specially designedcrash helmet tributing Pedro Rodríguez for the2022 Monaco Grand Prix in which he went on to claim his third win in Formula One. The helmet featured Rodríguez's helmet colours and, on the top, Rodríguez's and Perez's combined wins and podiums before Perez's victory in the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix, as the only twoMexican Formula One drivers to achieve race victories. Below the statistics was written "AND COUNTING" and the phrase "GRACIAS PEDRO" (thank you Pedro) below that.[45]
In 2024, the Mexican driverAdrián Fernández acquired theBRM P153 with which Rodríguez won the1970 Belgian Grand Prix from a private collector.
