Stan never drove F1 to my knowledge. He raced in Australian GPs of course but they were not World Championship events until 85..........and I'm actually wondering if Stan and Alan Jones qualify, too??
And yes I do mean F1 World Championship events. I guess there may be several at National level GPs

Stan Jones was driving a current F1 car when he won his Australian GP, Alan Jones was also.
They and the Ascaris are the only ones to have won their own country's GPs, from memory.

This thread already covers this subject.

True, and what mystifies me, is how anyone with over 3000 posts on TNF could be unaware of the Hills, the Villeneuves, and even the Ascaris.

I feel on pretty safe ground nominating Ayrton Senna for that one.

No, hence the safety of the ground presumably.

I think he is asking for a level of tolerance there...
In most circumstances, I think you're right posing that point, however.
An interesting 'father and son' thing is the European GP.

I asked simple question. At 8 oclock in the evening and dog tired.And on the evening that Nico Rosberg achieved at least in part what Keke did.I couldn't agree more.

So it seems we have the Hills and Villenueves. As far as i understand the Ascaris, way before my time only won National level GPs. As did many other countrys, eg Stan and Alan Jones in Oz.

Ascari Sr won the equivalent of WDC Grands Prix, as mentioned by Ray Bell, and Junior won enough races at that level to be world champion on two occasions. And if you're dismissing him on the basis that the WDC happened to be for F2 cars at that time, he did also win world championship F1 racesAs far as i understand the Ascaris, way before my time only won National level GPs.

The Joneses are different, in that Stan did indeed win only a national-level GP

I feel for you Lee - you ask a simple question and then they pounce - with their sniggering, and tut-tuts.
I reckon there are people here would just love to hand out detentions because cars or drivers or circuits names are mis-spelt.

One could also say that Antonio won half of the 1924 season´s top level Grand Prix races while Alberto achieved an 86% success rate in 1952 (or 33% / 75% if you include Indianapolis). Don´t think this will ever be topped. Anyway the Rosbergs are far away from such numbers...
The Piquets did get within 5 laps or so.

This is one event title that proves that the Ascaris both won at the top level.

So I guess the simple answer to your question is that it has been done once - by Altonio Hilleneuve. Until matched on Sunday by Keko Rosberg.So it seems we have the Hills and Villenueves. As far as i understand the Ascaris, way before my time only won National level GPs.
Don't mean to snigger - just to be irreverent!

But was the European GP then part of the World Championship? If so totally relevant to the question if not it is irrellavant. My vague knowledge of the World Championship starts in the late 50s.In fact the Ascaris were the only father and son combination both to win the European Grand Prix!
The so called modern championship started in the early 50s?

I am always puzzled as Rosberg Jnr being a German rather than a Finn. I would think most folk would take their father's nationality rather than from the place of birth.
I think that his place of birth (Wiesbaden) and Dad's nationality means that Nico gets dual nationality, though last I heard, he hardly spoke any Finnish at all.
No doubt others will correct me on this, but Nico's victory last weekend is a bit of a milestone, I think it was the first for a German driver in a Grand Prix driving a German car since Hermann Lang's victory at the 1939 Swiss Grand Prix, am I right with that? It all depends on how you define nationality of course, not only with the driver, but also the car, though as the good Dr Lawrence always says, "follow the money".

... and how you define a Grand Prix. Karl Kling in a W196 won the 1954 Berlin GP at Avus, but as the chief opposition to the three Mercedes was the works Gordini team, it hardly counts.No doubt others will correct me on this, but Nico's victory last weekend is a bit of a milestone, I think it was the first for a German driver in a Grand Prix driving a German car since Hermann Lang's victory at the 1939 Swiss Grand Prix, am I right with that?

Antonio Ascari won the 1925 Belgian GP, which was a round of the first world championship (for manufacturers) - the other three rounds were Indianapolis 500, the French GP and the Italian GP. Alfa Romeo took the title - as far as I recall runners-up were Duesenberg and Delage. The points system was a bit different from today's - a win was one point, second place was two points, while those that didn't compete scored (if my memory still doesn't fail me) six points. So, both Ascaris won world championship GPs.I asked simple question. At 8 oclock in the evening and dog tired.And on the evening that Nico Rosberg achieved at least in part what Keke did.
So it seems we have the Hills and Villenueves. As far as i understand the Ascaris, way before my time only won National level GPs. As did many other countrys, eg Stan and Alan Jones in Oz.
Edit:
I've just checked with Leif Snellman's site. The points system went like this:
1. place = 1 point
2. place = 2 points
3. place = 3 points
Other finishers = 4 points
Non finishers = 5 points
Non starters = 6 points
The contestants scored points from their three best finishes - but the Italian GP was obligatory, so it would under all circumstances be considered one of the three rounds counting.
