Formula One driver Pedro Rodriguez interview (very rare)

[moabdog32]

One of the greatest pairings of car and driver ever, the Porsche 917 and Pedro Rodriguez.

Check out the new video I uploaded. It's Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton in the McLaren garage.

Argueably the best driver of all time in, undeniabley the greatest sports racing car of all time. Great role model!!!! So proud Porsche trusted him to pilot the greatest race car of all time in it's first season. SO PROUD!!!!!

[hboss1983]

Nuestro mejor piloto Méxicano, en lluvia era imparable.

[betokkikke]

Very rare interview indeed, but quite impressive quotations from someone who is cheered as undefeatable in wet circuses!

[erLonely]

genial

[FormulaUnos]

I think Pedro Rodriguez was the best driver in wet conditions, better than Jackie Stewart

[Edward0dark0knight]

at night and under rain conditions he was unbeatable

[levizinhodonacimento]

vivaaa méxicooo !!!!

[gerry20009]

Pedro Rodríguez, una Leyenda de México (Q.D.E.P.)

[sinnae404]

that's some crazy sliding in the wet...awesome!

[Prost1988]

Pedro Rodriguez was a fabulous driver.

I see him one time : it was in 1969 during the race "1000 kms de Paris" on Montlhery track... he was driving a Matra 630/650 with Brian Redman.

They finished second. That was probably the only time, Pedro drove a Matra !!

in 1970, Pedro won the belgium F1 GP at Spa under the rain.

Pedro was probably the best ever driver under the rain. (Chris Amon, 2nd at Spa, told "why nobody said Pedro it's raining ?)

[rdtli]

you were doing great ,,,, but i think you just simply forgot icks and the master SENNA , hug from brasil

[royhr1]

thanks for the video!!!, The best mexican drivers ever Ricardo and Pedro Rodriguez!!

Viva Mexico!!!

[escorpion1991]

The greatest Porsche ever made the 917, driven of course by the greatest mexican driver ever. a wevo pendeja!

[jorgeschumy]

VIVA PEDRO RODRIGUEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SabuPtolemy]

Pedro and Seppi Siffert were two of a kind. Great F1 as well as sportscar drivers - such a shame they died so prematurely!

[gbw7256]

thank you so much for posting this, you've made this porsche girl very happy!

[chuchofreeman]

thx, i've never saw him, I'm proud he was mexican =), very good GT driver, a shame he died so young, and his brother too, I think Ricardo could be World Champion

[GDH1981]

It's from a video i have about the 1970 sports car season. It basically follows the JW Gulf Porsche team around the championship season. It had a few snippets of Pedro talking so i just merged them together to make this clip.

[bobafer]

I think thats LeMans isn't it? Any way VIVA MEXICO!!!

[GDH1981]

Thanks for the comment, it's Brands Hatch in England. This is regarded as one of his greatest races along with Austria 1971.

[bobafer]

oh! i thought it was cause of the porsche 917 of pedro, were did you find this video anyway? thanks!

[clkgrt]

@bobafer no he wins le mans in a ford gt40 mk1 thats daytona

[Holland1953]

Pedro was absolutely fearless!

[GDH1981]

I know, he was a special driver. In my opinion he was one of the best F1 drivers and the best sports car driver when he was killed.

[imola94]

When was the last time a driver welcomed strong drivers as a team mate?!

[indigoblue555]

Humm....Rodriguez was great both with F1 and sport cars but I remember he wasn't happy

at all sharing the car with Kinnunen,who had to drive costantly with Pedro's pers.setup,a way far from his own style.I wonder how could Pedro share a car with an equally fast and

famous mate...!May be he wanted to challenge

so as to prove himself.Not really suitable in long term races.

[erikpn]

Simply the best

[erikpn]

I love having the chance to see this, thank you.

[GDH1981]

Hi mate, oh yeah i forgot about Solana. I don't know too much about him except he used to compete in the Mexican GP and did quite well in 67.

It's a shame he didn't do more outside America.

[BIgCojonesMan]

thank you ..

you're all right

have you heard about Moises Solana?

he was as good as rodriguez brothers

[GDH1981]

Hi mate, i uploaded it from a video called 'The Gulf/Wyer GT40's and 917's in Action'. Half of it is pretty much a review of the 1970 world sportscar season.

Everything he said i've put on and i think he was talking about the BOAC 1000KM mainly because it was such an amazing victory for him.

One of my favourite drivers ever and probably the best Mexico has produced along with Ricardo!

[BIgCojonesMan]

i wonder if you upload the old video of Pedro Rodriguez talking about his career and the BOAC 1000KM race in 1970.

[BIgCojonesMan]

Pedro Rodriguez the BEST

Viva mexico

GDH You should put more of this, please..
