Pedro Rodríguez won the South African Grand Prix on 2 January 1967 with Cooper — the first World Championship Grand Prix held at Kyalami. He took his second win in 1970 with BRM at Spa, beating Chris Amon by just over a second.
The Rodríguez brothers
Pedro and his younger brother Ricardo were the first Mexican drivers in Formula 1. Ricardo was killed in 1962, and Pedro on 11 July 1971, in a sports car race at the Norisring in Germany. The circuit in Mexico City is named after both brothers.
