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.〔http://misc.thefullwiki.org/Pedro_Rodriguez〕 Rodríguez disliked driving in urban traffic, which he considered too dangerous, preferring to use a driver. 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.〔Los Hermanos Rodríguez book, p. 381〕 Jo Ramírez was a very close friend to both Rodríguez as well as his younger brother Ricardo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pedro Rodríguez (racing driver)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
