Pedro de la Rosa

Pedro de la Rosa’s professional racing career began with an impressive sweep of junior formula titles, including Spanish Formula Fiat Uno Champion in 1989, Spanish Formula Ford 1600 Champion in 1990, and both European and British Formula Renault champion in 1992. Prior to his car racing debut, de la Rosa honed his competitive instincts in radio-controlled car racing, securing three consecutive domestic championship titles between 1983 and 1985, two European off-road championships in 1983 and 1984, and a runner-up finish in the world championship in 1986. His transition to professional motorsport saw him achieve significant success in Japanese racing, where he clinched the Japanese Formula Three series title in 1995, placed 3rd in the Macau Grand Prix the same year, and went on to win both the prestigious Formula Nippon Championship and the All-Japan GT Championship in 1997, marking a formidable ascent to the pinnacle of international motorsport. Following his dominance in Japanese motorsport, de la Rosa made his highly anticipated Formula One debut in 1999 with the Arrows team, scoring his first Formula One point in his inaugural race at the Australian Grand Prix.

In a strategic move to electric motorsport, de la Rosa embraced the role of Technical and Sporting Director for Techeetah in Formula E, where he played a key role in the team’s title successes during the 2018-19 season. Building on his extensive experience and deep understanding of high-performance racing, Pedro de la Rosa was appointed Team Ambassador for the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team in 2022, a role he continues to hold. In this capacity, he leverages his comprehensive background to represent the team globally, engage with fans, and contribute to the team’s strategic initiatives, solidifying his enduring presence and influence within the elite echelons of Formula One.
