I read with interest the 1986 Hungary report republished this week in Autosport. Looking at the results I was intrigued by how many of the grid have a son or daughter or nephew racing today. I have filled in what I know however I am sure some of you will know of others. It looks like just over 34% have siblings who have tried or are trying.
Piquet - Nelson junior
Senna - Bruno
Mansell - Leo & Greg
Johansson - ( Dad was a racer !)
Dumfries
Brundle - Alex
Tambay - Adrien
Streiff
Alliot
Palmer - Jolyon
Arnoux
Jones - Christian
Berger
Boutsen
Rosberg - Nico
Fabi
Nannini

Prost - Nicolas
Ghinzani

Wasn't it Toby that got caught with a prositute or done for curb crawling???

Lost his ride didn't he?

Man if only he worked for the FIA he could have been head.


Cousins would be young Paul Diresta.............Franchitti cousin.

No, that was Tomas, who as a result of this "ride" lost his ride as test driver for the Jaguar F1 team.

The last I saw of Toby was in the short-lived German V8 Star touring car championship in the early 2000s.

Instead of being head, he was only given it ;)
