Ricardo Rodríguez was a Mexican racing driver who competed in the Formula 1 World Championship. Raced for ferrari in the world championship during 1961 and 1962, making six starts. he was just 19 when he first appeared for the italian team, making him one of the youngest drivers to reach formula 1's front rank in the championship's early decades.
His 1962 season brought four points and a thirteenth-place classification in the drivers' championship — a solid return for a driver barely 20 years old, at a time when points extended only six places down the order.
Rodríguez's World Championship record comprises those two seasons with Ferrari: six starts, four points, and the distinction of an exceptionally early arrival at the sport's highest level.
