Throughout the history of Formula 1, several fathers and sons have competed in the championship, showcasing a family tradition in high-level motorsport. Today, as it is Father’s Day on June 16 in many countries, RacingNews365 explores some of the well-known father-son pairs in F1. While it’s not rare for champions to have children in F1, having both father and son clinch a title is less common.

Another famous pair is Keke and Nico Rosberg, where Keke won the title in 1982 and Nico had a successful F1 career, winning the championship in 2016 for Mercedes. Mario Andretti, the last American to win the F1 drivers’ championship, had an illustrious career, and his son Michael briefly raced in F1. Lastly, the legendary Michael Schumacher, a seven-time F1 champion, solidified his legacy in the sport, while his son Mick has transitioned to F1 and debuted in 2021 with Haas.
