Rubarő?
Where did you find this name nobody else on this planet seems to have heard of?
it was in one of the Auto Bild Motorsport in 2001.
There was a picture with Rubens, his father Rubens and his grandfather Rubaro.

Nadine-Nicole Frentzen, the younger sister of Heinz-Harald Frentzen, was also racing karts and she has some tests in ADAC Formula BMW as well.
Any details about her career?
I know she was (is?) dating Sven Heidfeld, brother of Nick Heidfeld and also racing driver (F3000).

Just been watching Colton Herta, son of Bryan, put in a dominant performance in Indy Lights at St Petersburg, finishing well ahead of 2016 Rookie of the Year Santiago Urrutia, who won four races in the series last year and only missed out on the title at the last race.
Colton's three weeks short of his seventeenth birthday. Which makes him younger than this thread!

Teo Fabi's father was also racing driver.
Stefan Johansson's father Roland was Rallye driver.

Nadine-Nicole did a couple of rounds of the Chevrolet Cruze Cup in Germany in 2011. She doesn't seem to have done much since then.

You can't include Alberto Ascari?
Strictly speaking, no, since his father never raced Formula One.
Posted 22 January 2018 - 13:58
That was going to be my question too Ray. I'd think if Stuck is part of this list, Ascari should be also. However, with the list being labelled F1 by HF, ("I've read that there are 17 sons of former F1 drivers who competed in F1 as well. But I count 16") perhaps it shouldn't be included either.
edit: I forgot a couple of letters

Sorry, what I am looking for is Driver World Championship races since 1950

Perhaps on this forum we should take all references to F1 as meaning "Grand Prix Motor Racing", the term Tony Brooks used in a Sky programme (Legends of F1?). That way Antonio Ascari and Hans Stuck, not to mention Nuvolari, Caracciola, Lautenschlager, Szisz, Wimille, Varzi and many others are less likely to be airbrushed out of history by promoters of the absurd notion that motor racing was invented in 1950.

Good story, as usually in your site. A very small (hopefully not too pedantic )correction: the other son of Fangio is named Ruben Vázquez.

Here's one who had escaped my notice: Pietro Fittipaldi, who has already won a junior NASCAR title, aged just 15. Grandson of Emerson, great-nephew of Wilson, nephew of Christian - and nephew of Max Papis!
http://www.jamesalle...new-fittipaldi/
Surprised nobody has mentioned that Pietro Fittipaldi has become the first grandson of an F1 driver to also drive in F1, having subbed for the injured Romain Grosjean in a Haas in both the Sakhir and Abu Dhabi races.

Last night Jos Verstappen *) and his son Max visited a Dutch TV show on sports. Max has started a karting career at 4 and a half (4.5 years!) while his father wanted he started at 6. Currently he is 7. He has won 49 out of 50 races (3rd in that odd one after spinning on a wet patch).
Let's hope for Dutch racing they will use all what was learned in his fathers career.
*) Sorry, maybe not so nostalgic, but Jos has said goodbye to F1 and will return to some international racing (LM) occasionally. May I call this nostalgia in the making?
Now 11+ years after this mail, I could mention the son of Jan Lammers, Rene who makes waves in karting aged 12. Likely set for a nice career. Sorry for not being nostalgic, but these we want to look ahead.

Guardian feature on Susie Wheldon and her hopes for her and Dan's sons, both of whom are now on Andretti's driver programme:
Susie Wheldon: ‘Dan would have been over the moon about our sons racing’
Hard to believe that it's nearly ten years since we lost Dan.

Two Italian drivers by the same family name of Albertin, Daniele and Giovanni, competed in both the Italian and European Formula 3 Championships in 1976, driving Modus M1 cars.
They came from the province of Padua, northern Italy, but I can't find confirmation whether they were brothers (or presumably cousins).
Any help?
Sadly, Daniele Albertin and his young wife lost their lives in a haighway accident in 1982.

Not only Eduardo Barrichello is driving races now (Rubens' son) but also Rubens' nephew Felipe Barrichello Bartz. He will compete in Brazil Formula 4 next season.

Is there any relationship between Eric Gené (Karting and this week tested Spanish F4) and Marc/Jordi Gené?
