Rosberg, Villeneueve, and Hill were all about on par with each other. Gilles is probably the highest rated of the 6 despite being the only one without a championship.

Sainz's dad was a rally driver...don't think he ever did F1.

Mario and Michael is another good inverse example. Also Piquet and Piquet.
