Ricardo Rodríguez was an established professional who raced in Formula 1 as a solo driver for Ferrari between 1961 and 1962. He started six times across two seasons in the sport's premier single-seater championship.[1]
Rodríguez competed in Formula 1 during its expansion into international racing, finishing twelfth in the championship standings in 1962, his final season. His record placed him among a field that mixed amateurs and semi-professionals with graded professionals, all racing the same machinery in the same races. He finished ahead of Jack Brabham, a three-time Formula 1 champion, in at least one meeting, and held a closely matched record against Richie Ginther, an established professional contemporary. Against Jim Clark, who would become a two-time champion, Rodríguez typically finished behind him.[2]
