Pedro, who started at motorsport in the RC scene has been 3 times Spanish Champion 1/8th off road and 2 times EFRA European Champion 1/8th IC buggy Off Road in the years 1983 & 1984 when he was nearly a kid. His last RC official race was the very first IFMAR World Championships 1/8th IC Off Road at Grenoble (France) where he was second after French driver Frederick Veyssere. Veyssere always recognized Pedro was better driver than him, and now Pedro returns to an official seat at F1 after being driving 71 F1 GPs for Arrows, Jaguar and Mclaren. Congrats Pedro.
