Pedro entered the world of Formula 1 via a test deal with the Jordan Grand Prix in 1998 and the following season, he moved to Arrows. Scoring a point in his debut race in Australia, it looked as if big things were soon to come however, Arrows meagre budget didn't allow the Spaniard to develop the way he needed to.
Another test drive soon followed, this time with Jaguar Racing. The role was soon promoted to race driver when the team dropped Luciano Burti mid-season but at the end of the 2002 season Pedro was without a job once again.
Enter Team McLaren Mercedes and after a test drive he was soon appointed a full time role of test driver where he has remained ever since.
