Rodríguez has defined himself as a driver who ''"constantly looks for the edge, and finds it against a wall"''. He can cope with oversteering but understeering is a real problem for him. He does not like, however, sliding through a corner during a race, because ''"although it looks awesome, I'm out there racing with twenty-one other guys, and sliding or blocking a wheel are things for shows. In a race, you just lose time and punish the tyres. In a show, the crowd applauds you, and that's when I enjoy doing it."''

Because of his excessive speed at corners, he is prone to crashing, but he learns from his mistakes: ''"I'm not Andrea de Cesaris. I just try to go as fast as I can. And it works."''
