Roldán Rodríguez Iglesias (born November 9, 1984 in Valladolid) is a Spanish racing driver, who competed in the GP2 Series from 2007 to 2009. Prior to this he competed in Spanish Formula Three and various Formula 3000 categories.
Career
Formula Three
After competing in Formula Junior 1600 Spain in 2002, Rodríguez graduated to the Spanish Formula Three Championship in 2003 in remained there for the next four seasons, gradually improving to finish as series runner-up in 2006, behind Ricardo Risatti.
Nissan World Series
In 2004, Rodríguez dovetailed part-time campaigns in F3 and the Nissan World Series, in which he scored two points from nine races.
Euroseries 3000
Rodríguez drove for the Minardi Euroseries 3000 team in 2006 alongside his Spanish F3 campaign.
GP2 Series
Giancarlo Minardi's team-up with Hitech/Piquet Sports for the 2007 GP2 Series season led to Rodríguez securing the second seat in the team, alongside Alexandre Negrão. He finished the season in 17th place.
After initially beginning 2008 without a GP2 drive, he replaced the injured Michael Herck at Fisichella Motor Sport for the last round of the GP2 Asia Series, then kept his seat with the team for the main 2008 GP2 Series season, replacing Andy Soucek who had been expected to fill the seat.[1] He finished thirteenth in the championship, an improvement upon the previous year.
Rodríguez returned to Piquet GP to compete in the 2008–09 GP2 Asia Series season, where he finished third behind Kamui Kobayashi and Jérôme d'Ambrosio, and the 2009 GP2 Series season,[2] where he finished eleventh.
Rodríguez rejoined Scuderia Coloni, the old Fisichella Motor Sport team, for the 2009–10 GP2 Asia Series season but was replaced by Alberto Valerio after the first round.
Formula One
Rodríguez tested for Minardi during the 2005 season. He was signed by the Force India Formula One team as a test driver for the winter of 2007-2008.[3] He was linked with a race seat at Formula One newcomers Campos Grand Prix for 2010,[4] but has announced that he will be taking a sabbatical from motorsport instead.[5]
