Daniel la Rosa (born 10 October 1985 in Hanau, West Germany) is a German former racing driver.
Motor Racing
[edit]Following several years in kart racing, la Rosa moved to the open wheel Formula König series in 2001. He finished third in the championship, winning one race, five podiums and a fastest lap. The following season, la Rosa joined Formula Volkswagen where he won one race, finishing the season in eighth place. He would move to the Formula 3 Euroseries in 2003, racing for MB Racing in the Opel-powered Dallara. After scoring one point that season, in 2004, la Rosa moved teams and scored 15 points with one podium, in a season where he also competed in one race of the Masters of Formula 3, and two in the Italian Formula 3 series.
For 2005, la Rosa stepped up to Formula Renault 3.5 with Interwetten Racing. His season started poorly, when he opted not to start the first two rounds at Zolder.[1] However, a podium at Le Mans was a highlight of a season where he would ultimately finish 18th.[2]
La Rosa's open wheel racing career stalled, and he moved to the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters with Mücke Motorsport, racing for Mercedes.[3] He would finish the season in 15th. For 2007, la Rosa continued racing for Mercedes but now with TrekStor AMG, for whom he scored a podium at the opening round of the season at the Hockenheimring.[4][5] He was released from the team at the end of the season.[6]
In 2008, la Rosa tested for the Superleague Formula series.[7] He wouldn't race competitively until 2010, winning the one race he entered in the Volkswagen Scirocco R Cup Germany. His last competitive race came in the same series in 2011.
After racing
[edit]Following his racing career, la Rosa works as a sales consultant for Porsche Centre Aschaffenburg.[8]
