GP2 Series
Thanks to a partnership between Giancarlo Minardi and Hitech/Piquet Sports for the 2007 GP2 Series season, Rodríguez secured a seat alongside teammate Alexandre Negrão, concluding the year in seventeenth position.
After initially lacking a GP2 drive for the 2008 season, Rodríguez stepped in for the injured Michael Herck at Fisichella Motor Sport during the closing round of the 2008 GP2 Asia Series season. He then maintained his position with the team for the main 2008 GP2 Series season, improving his standing to thirteenth place.
Rodríguez rejoined Piquet GP for the 2008–09 GP2 Asia Series season, where he achieved third place overall behind Kamui Kobayashi and Jérôme d'Ambrosio. He also took part in the 2009 GP2 Series season, finishing eleventh in the championship.

Formula One
Rodríguez tested with Minardi during their season at Vallelunga, Italy.
He served as a test driver for the Spyker team during the – winter period, including participating in a mid-season test at Silverstone. In the 2008 pre-season, he conducted testing sessions with Force India (formerly Spyker) aiming to secure a race seat but ultimately lost out to Giancarlo Fisichella.
There were reports linking Rodríguez to a potential Formula One race seat with new entrants Campos Grand Prix for 2010; however, he chose to take a break from motorsport instead.
