Pedro de la Rosa

Spanish racing driver

Pedro de la Rosa competed in auto racing and Formula One at a level that the sport still measures itself against.

The record lists Pedro de la Rosa as Spanish racing driver.

Pedro de la Rosa was born at Barcelona in 1971. His recorded nationality is Spain.

By this period sport was fully international, televised and politicised, and an athlete's reach extended far past the field of play.

Athletic careers are short and pitilessly measured, which is what makes the great ones legible.

That the career was built from Spain matters: facilities, coaching and funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide who ever reaches the start line.

What survives is the record itself - times, placings and titles that later competitors still measure themselves against.
