Verstappen, Magnussen, Saintz and recently Mick Schumacher are all the children of F1 drivers (although parental success seems inversely correlated to the success of the sons, eg Schumacher vs Verstappen)

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.
