Pedro Rodriguez Victory at Oulton Park 1971.wmv 

Pedro Rodriguez was a masterful driver and in the rain he was unbeatable. His exploits in the Porsche 917 at Spa are the stuff of legend. He is missed…. R.I.P. Pedro.

I was there that day. It was great to see Pedro win!

I too, was there on that day, as an 12yr old, with my family. We always sat up on Clay Hill. Great views of Knicker Brook. Still following F1 to this day, and still reminisce about all the famous drivers I saw in the late 1960's and early '70s. Thanks for showing us the film.

"Sólo dame un carro bueno y que no se rompa; no me importa la categoría" "Una carrera de segunda siempre es mejor que ninguna carrera" Pedro Rodriguez (1940 - 1971) Piloto mexicano

I was there with my father, loved Oulton Park

Beautiful tribute! Regards from Mexico.

Pedro Rodriguez: a great driver My respect

Until now days; Pedro Rodriguez is the best car driver that Mexico has seen born. We also won Le mans. The best driver on rain of his generation. He is a legent.

Rodriguez is a Legend of course !

Pedro es toda una leyenda... está entre los 5 mejores pilotos de todos los tiempos...pero el número 1 en agua y de noche...ojos de gato...

Pedro and that great yardly livery something else.

Pedro is still a legend and one of the best of its generation. We still miss him dearly after 42 yrs of his premature death. Perez still has long ways to go to be compared with Pedro.

There's only one Pedro Rodriguez, no comparison possible between Pedro and Perez really. Pedro competed in about every category of motor racing and in a different era. Cars were different, driving on dangerous tracks with no driver protection etc. etc.

Gone way too early. My idol Pedro the best under the rain and at night. A master at taming the Porsche 917. RIP champion 😢

Amazing driving by Pedro, a true daredevil...

the best - Pedro

Drivers did not want to be compared to Rodrigues...this is why you never hear him being spoken of...

Pedro Rodríguez es una leyenda de las Pistas Más valorado en el extranjero que en su país s mi parecer. Ahora qué muchos años Después otro Méxicano ocupa el ,1er lugar en el Pidió Recordamos s Pedro . Al Checo le falta mucho para compararlo con él pero ojalá Hoy con una mejor escudería vengan las d triunfos y escriba su propia Historia

I was there to watch this race that is me at 3 mins 36 seconds with the long air force great coat

Given all the hype arround Checo's win and, RB contract: Recordemos a los de antes. Come on' Checo, make yourself one of those.

I was there with my Dad when I was 21 bless him. You could still walk around the Paddock for an extra £10 (I think) and chat with drivers and team members!

Sergio Perez is just there as part of the grid but I bet Pedro Rodriquez with the right car would make S. Vettels life a living hell. Lets not forget the man was awesome in the rain too.

Thanks Luc, for giving us good memories!!!

True conversation. Pedro - No matter whethr dry or raining, I drive the same. Jackie Stewart - Yes I'm sorry about that Pedro....

Thanks for the video I was there as an 11 year old.

Amazing 4 wheel drift Pedro !

Sergio Perez is looking better now maybe he is the next Pedro Rodriquez. Perez is making F1 exciting for me again.

I were there and was with Jackie Stewart when he wasn't in his car lol Good days Great racing

@1MCS34 It was on a VHS video cassette called "Racing 60ies & 70ies style" Cheers, Luc

Pedro Rodriguez:- The Most Under rated driver ever..: 😳 wow that did hurt me

Great clip, thanks for uploading

Vaya determinaciòn de atacar las curvas.

I was there way back - when BRM won !

Mi Papa me cuenta que conocio a los hermanos Rodriguez. Entre muchas cosas mi Papa Oyo del Papa que despues de la muerte de Ricardo...Pedro le prometio a su Papa que jamas correria. Pedro volvio y........murio haciendo lo que amaba mas en su vida. Descansen en paz mis paisanos y A Checo que siga triunfando en la F-1

THERE WAS ONLY A DRIVER IN MEXICO HIS NAME PEDRO RODRIGUEZ.

The BBC coverage actually showed the one mistake when Rodriguez slid wide at the hairpin. IIRC that week's "Autosport" had a picture of Pedro talking to Raymond Mays or Sir Alfred Owen, I forget which, claiming that he is explaining his off to the boss. BTW, the commentary here is wrong. Rodriguez did not win another Grand Prix before his death. His two wins were Kyalami, 1967 and Spa 1970.

The points sistem it is a very diferent and also the security sistems rodriguez make the best times in porsche 917 prototype 387km we will see a perez like the best mexican in f1 viva mexico you can be shure

Rodriquez was the most underated driver of all in the late 1960s. For the 67-70 period leaving aside Clark. Stewart is far best and as a fast consistent all round talent only Surtees is in the same ball park. The ageing Surtees and Gurney are far better than NZ ers Hulme and McLaren. In the early 1960s Bruce McLaren was a top performer, but like Chris Amon lacked the necessary aggression. Real motor racing pre 1985 was not just about being a good tester Ickx, Hailwood and Peterson were hopeless in that area. But Jackie and Hailwood were sensible enough to leave it entirely to the team.. Ronnie wasn't which is why Chapman lost faith and actually preferred Ickx. Then motor racing was about dueling and passing on the track. And Amons inadequacy in that way were apparent from early during 1967 and at Warwick's Farm in 68. Rodriquez form in the underpowered P133 at Jarama, Spa, Rouen and Holland in 68 to me showed Pedro was in some ways the best in the world after Clark. Having wide boy Jackie Oliver as team mate in 1970 was a problem as for once Oliver Stanley was right, Jackie Oliver was a good driver, but not nearly as good as Oliver himself thought. Oliver pinched the car prepared for Rodriquez about half an hour before the 1970 Dutch and British GP with a little help from Me Stewart. Had Rodriquez had his No 1 BRM on those days I think his cat like lightness and speed might have brought the P153 to the finish ahead of Jochen Ridnt and made him champion. Rodriquez was a truly great driver, denied the best cars by outright racism by Stanley, Stewart, Imperial Tobacco and other cosmetic functionaries.

Scuderia red bull 🏎️🏳️🏁😎😎🇲🇽⛽🏆🏆

GREAT, but 'a YOUNG Jackie Stewart' ???

Rodríguez death this year

Its 1970 not 1971!

Rodriguez had the skill, the character and the balls to be an F1 champion. Sadly Rodriguez lost his life doing what he loved most...racing cars. I would love to see Pedro competing against Max Vesrtappen, with all due respect to our beloved "Checo Perez". Of course, my fantasy. Greetings from Mexico.

Don't want to watch it ,it's sad for what was a legend
