Mexico has sent six drivers to Formula 1, and between them they have eight Grand Prix wins and no world title. Six of those wins belong to Sergio PĂ©rez; the other two to Pedro RodrĂguez, who with his brother Ricardo gives his name to the circuit hosting Sunday's Mexico City Grand Prix. Every Mexican F1 driver, with their stats.
The RodrĂguez brothers
Ricardo RodrĂguez made his debut for Ferrari at Monza in 1961 and qualified second, aged 19. He started five Grands Prix, with fourth place in Belgium in 1962 his best result. He was killed that November in practice for the Mexican Grand Prix, then a non-championship race, at what was still called the Magdalena Mixhuca circuit. His F1 career.
Pedro's career ran longer: 54 Grands Prix between 1963 and 1971, with seven podiums and 71 points. He won twice, in South Africa in 1967 with Cooper-Maserati and in Belgium in 1970 with BRM, and was the first Mexican to win a world championship race. He died in 1971 in a sports car race at the Norisring in Germany. The Mexico City circuit has carried both brothers' names ever since. Pedro RodrĂguez's full record.
Solana, Rebaque and Gutiérrez
Moisés Solana started eight Grands Prix between 1963 and 1968, all of them in Mexico or the United States, with tenth at home in 1964 his best finish. Héctor Rebaque started 41 between 1977 and 1981 and even entered his own team, Rebaque, in 1979. His best days came with Brabham in 1981: three fourth places, at Imola, Hockenheim and Zandvoort.
Esteban Gutiérrez started 59 Grands Prix for Sauber and Haas between 2013 and 2016. He scored six points, with seventh his best finish, and set the fastest lap at the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix.
PĂ©rez, in a league of his own
Sergio PĂ©rez is on another level. In 301 Grands Prix since 2011 he has six wins, 39 podiums, three poles and 1,638 points: three of every four Mexican wins in history are his. The first came at the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix with Racing Point, and his best season was 2023, when he finished runner-up for Red Bull with 285 points, the best championship result by a Mexican driver. In 2026, with Cadillac, he has yet to score. Sergio PĂ©rez's stats.
At home
No Mexican had stood on the podium at a home world championship Grand Prix until PĂ©rez did it in 2021, and he repeated it in 2022, third both times. Pedro RodrĂguez's best was fourth in 1968. In nine starts at the AutĂłdromo Hermanos RodrĂguez, PĂ©rez also has two seventh places and an eighth. His record at the circuit.
If he takes the start on Sunday, it will be his tenth race at home. The circuit has hosted 25 world championship Grands Prix since 1963. Winners and records at the AutĂłdromo Hermanos RodrĂguez.
I'm Alex Da Costa, a systems engineer with more than ten years of experience designing and maintaining data-heavy infrastructure. I've been watching Formula 1 since the 2005 season â Alonso's first championship, the year Schumacher's seven-title era finally cracked â and it's been an obsession ever since. Pit Lane F1 is what happens when that IT background meets a lifelong F1 habit. I started this site because the big outlets cover the headline result but rarely the data underneath: why a pit-stop window mattered, how a circuit's lap-record history actually compares, what every driver has done at every venue. So I built it. Race recaps for every Grand Prix since 1950, head-to-head career comparisons, telemetry replays for 2024 onward, and per-circuit deep dives â all from open data sources, fact-checked against multiple references, and written in plain language. The site is run independently. No team, driver, or commercial partner influences what gets published.
