Reading about how both Ascari Sr and Jr's death's were very spookily similar, in that both died at 36, only four days apart, on the 26th of a month, on a left hander, four days after a lucky escape, and leaving behind a wife and two nippers. As well as that Ascari and the other driver to crash into the Monaco harbour, Paul Hawkins, like Ascari also died in a sportscar accident on the 26th of May.

So I decided to start another thread, as there's plenty more interesting coincidences out there in F1

I'll start with one, the only two father and son champions.

Graham Hill won his first (of two) titles in 1962, then 34 seasons on his son Damon won the title, coming just after being runner up twice to the driver who was reckoned to be the best of the time (Schumacher)

Keke Rosberg won his first (and only) title then 34 seasons on his son Nico won the title, coming just after being runner up twice to driver who was reckoned to be the best of the time (Hamilton)
