Spain's Pedro De La Rosa Still Driven By Passion For F1
While Kimi Raikkonen: Pedro de la Rosa smiles when asked if he still considers himself a racing driver. "You're born a racing driver, and you die a racing driver," he says. "Even if I'm not racing now, I still think like one." More than three decades after entering Formula 1 as a test driver with Jordan in 1998, De la Rosa has come full circle. Today, the 54-year-old Spaniard serves as team ambassador for Aston Martin, the modern descendant of the team where his F1 journey began.
"My work is mainly to help the team on the commercial, marketing, and media side," he explains. "But I also get to drive some incredible cars - Hypercars, historic Formula 1 cars - and I come to a lot of races. It keeps me busy and connected to the world I love."
De la Rosa's F1 racing career spanned nine seasons and 104 starts for largely midfield teams, but the Spaniard earned wider recognition as one of the sport's most trusted and technically precise test drivers.
