Pedro Rodríguez (racing driver)

Pedro Rodríguez de la Vega (18 January 1940 – 11 July 1971) was a Mexican Grand Prix motor racing driver. He was the older brother of Ricardo Rodríguez.

Personal

Rodríguez was born in Mexico City, Mexico, the first son of the marriage of Pedro Natalio Rodríguez and Concepción "Conchita" Rodríguez (née de la Vega), and had three brothers, Federico, Ricardo and Alejandro, and a younger sister, Conchita.

At 15, his father sent him to Western Military Academy in Alton, Illinois in order to learn English and to get more discipline.

Rodríguez brothers raced bicycles and motorcycles, becoming Mexican national motorcycle champion in 1953 and 1954. He made his international debut in cars at Nassau in 1957 in a Ferrari.

He married Angelina (née Dammy), in Mexico since 1961, although he had a girlfriend in England, Glenda Foreman, with whom he lived in Bray on Thames in his latter years, but left no children.

Rodríguez always traveled with a Mexican flag and a record of the national anthem because when he won the 1967 South African GP the organizers did not have the Mexican anthem, instead playing the Mexican hat dance.
