just wondering how many are out there – obviously there is nico rosberg, nelson piquet jr and kazuki nakajima as well as the likes of nicloas prost, greg and leo mansell tomas schecter and bruno senna (nephew) – they don’t have to be sons (daugters perhaps?) of ex champions, just ex racers – can you think of many more?
