    I don't think he had a brother who raced, I'm really hoping there aren't 2 answers to this, lol.

    Fittipaldi's?

    Raced in a car bearing their own name as well (useless trivia if the above is not correct!)

    no (good call though, I hadn;t checked those brothers out, but they raced in different seasons with different versions
    & no, one of them was entered in a race in the same car his brother had used earlier, but didn't actually race.

    These brothers shared the same car in the same season (though obviously not in the same races).

    I'll give a clue, it was in the 80's

    80's brothers, Teo and Corrado Fabi I think both drove for Brabham?

    Or was it Toleman/Benetton?

    on that link:

    Formula One all-time ranking[edit]
    In 2016, in an academic paper that reported a mathematical modeling study that assessed the relative influence of driver and machine, Surer was ranked the 17th best Formula One driver of all time.[1]


    WHAT????? Is this the same one with Ralf schumacher as 3rd best?

    Honda? I remember Surtees refused to drive a Honda because he thought it was dangerous, correctly, as his team-mate died in it during the race. That was in the 60's, but I think they had already produced an engine for someone else before that.
