Profile
A friend of Ayrton Senna, Mauricio followed him to Britain. Echoing Ayrton's moves, he drove for West Surrey Racing in Formula Three and won the 1985 title plus the Macau Grand Prix. West Surrey decided to move up to Formula 3000 with Mauricio in 1986, but this proved a disaster.
Mauricio transferred to the works Ralt team in 1987 and won first time out, but dropped to fourth overall by year's end. However, this was enough to earn him a Formula One drive for 1988 with the Leyton House March team.
For the next four years Mauricio was synonymous with the team's aquamarine colours. Results were mixed, but highlights included third place in Brazil in 1989 and running second in France behind team-mate Ivan Capelli in 1990 before retiring. Then Capelli fell back to second right at the end. The team folded and so Mauricio moved to the new Jordan team for 1992, but the Yamaha engine was gutless and this sounded the death knell of Mauricio's Formula One career. He headed off to become an Indy Car regular and a race winner in 1997.
