Roberto Guerrero

Post by Kobacrashi »

As a member of the f1 rejects site I feel obliged to post a link to another "shock horror" F1 website (sorry Jamie and Enoch).


Our friends at the Formula1Blog website have managed to snag an interview with Columbia's finest, although I am yet to listen to it I am sure that it will be packed with plenty of rejecty goodness and enough good feeling to warm the heart of even the most cold-hearted F1 fan.

Anyway here's the link:

although the link may not work as computing is not my strong point I hope a few of you give it a go.


Regards and Happy listening,

Matt/Kobacrashi

Not listened to the interview yet, but I'd just like to say this about Roberto. I have spoken to him a few times for a bio I'm doing of his ex-Indy partner Jim Crawford. He is an absolute gentleman. I honestly can't put into words how nice a guy he is. He was also a fantastic racing driver, as he showed in Indycars. Even after his devastating testing crash at Indianapolis he was still super fast. I reckon the Roberto Guerrero/Jim Crawford line-up may have been the pairing of the two nicest drivers in racing!

I thought Guerrero was the 'ultimate' Indycar reject? With loads of reject performances and crashes?

Or am I getting confused with someone of a similar name?

I wouldn't describe Roberto as an Indycar reject. In his first four Indy 500s he finished second twice, third once and fourth once. He really should have won it. In 1987 (I think) he looked on course until he hit a wheel which had fallen off another car. Unfortuantely it went into a grandstand and killed a spectator. He had a couple of wins in CART and a few podiums.

Carlos Guerrero.

Totally unrelated to Roberto, even though they raced around the same time.

I presume that Roberto is completely unrelated to the Guerrero wrestling family. I could only wish.

I'd imagine that Guerrero is a common surname throughout Latin America in the same way that Smith is much of the Western world.

Indeed. The first thing that came to mind when seeing that surname was Jose Paolo Guerrero, a striker for Hamburger SV in the German Bundesliga, who is from Peru.
