So how long do you think it will be ...

... before we see a THIRD son of a former F1 World Champion winning the Championship himself?

(It's taken 20 years to get from one to two!)

With Josh Hill retiring (that would have been something, 3 generations!) it's only really Mick Schumacher active isn't it?

After that you're down to Villeneuve who has young kids, or Räikkönen, Vettel and Rosberg, who have really young kids.

Nico Prost...

Niki Lauda has a racing son doesn't he ?

Not F1 quality necessarily.

We could have a son of a former F1 driver as champ next year.

5/1 - what do we think? Worth a punt, I'd say.

Greg Mansell ?

I was about to mention Josh Hill... While he's alive it is still possible I suppose.

Wiki says...."on 9th July 2013,Josh Hill announced his retirement from motor racing."

He wouldn't be the first driver to reconsider if he wanted to come back. I watched him in a couple of Ginetta races and in Formula Ford and I have to say he wasn't a glittering talent, but stranger things have happened.
