Héctor Alonso Rebaque (born 5 February 1956) is a Mexican former racing driver and businessman, who competed in Formula One from 1977 to 1981.
Born and raised in Mexico City, Rebaque participated in 58 Formula One Grands Prix. He founded Rebaque in 1978, entering a privateer Lotus 78 before constructing the Rebaque HR100 in collaboration with Penske, which he entered the final three Grands Prix of 1979 with. Rebaque also competed in Formula One for Hesketh and Brabham.
Rebaque transitioned to CART for 1982, winning the Road America 200 in his rookie season; he retired from oval racing following a testing incident at Michigan International Speedway one week later. Rebaque returned to Europe for the non-championship 1983 Race of Champions with Brabham, before retiring from motor racing aged 27. Since his retirement, Rebaque has moved into business, operating several architectural firms across Mexico.
Early life
Héctor Alonso Rebaque was born on 5 February 1956 in Mexico City, Mexico.[1]
Racing career
Rebaque participated in 58 Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on 1977 Belgian Grand Prix, the first participation of a Mexican driver in the category since the death of Pedro Rodríguez in a Interserie's race in Norisring in 1971. He scored a total of 13 championship points. He also ran his own Formula One team, Rebaque, in 1978 and 1979; usually he raced Lotuses but for the last three races in 1979 he fielded his own car designed by Penske which he called the HR100.
In the middle of 1980, he substituted for Ricardo Zunino as team mate to Nelson Piquet at Brabham, where he stayed throughout the 1981 season achieving his best Formula One results, finishing 10th in the Championship.
He also drove in the 1982 CART IndyCar season for Forsythe Racing including the 1982 Indianapolis 500 where he finished 13th after a pit fire on lap 151. He won his final CART race, which was the first one held at Road America. However, he was injured a week later in a testing crash at Michigan International Speedway.[2] From there he decided to return to road racing as he felt oval racing was too dangerous.[3]
His final race was the 1983 Race of Champions, a Formula One non-points race at Brands Hatch.
Helmet
Rebaque's helmet was black with a green, white and red design surrounding the visor area. The colours used are the colours of the Mexican flag.
Business
After his retirement from racing track, Rebaque now works in architecture related businesses in Mexico.[4]
