Actually Brazilian blooming in F1 was a consequence of the rise of Brazil’s auto industry in the 60s, around São Paulo. It created an ecosystem of auto parts makers, garages, stores etc. The Fittipaldi brothers themselves (Emerson and his brother Wilson, who also raced F1) had a steering wheel factory. São Paulo was also the destination of a horde of Italian immigrants (the Fittipaldis among them), who brought the auto racing passion with them. The construction of the Interlagos racing track in the 50s catalyzed all that into structured competitive auto racing. Brazil now has many racing tracks and championships, from rally to stock car to monopostos. Last but not least, you failed to mention 3 time world champion Nelson Piquet, for some reason often forgotten in great champions lists.

Finland isn't exactly "not known for their race car drivers". In almost any international motorsport, there's been a slew of Finns racing and winning. For example Finland was the undisputed number one home of WRC champions before the domination of the two Sebastiens taking the top number of championships to France. And even now, Finland has overwhelmingly the biggest number of champions. BTW, talking about Loeb and Ogier, what's up with the trend of long lasting champions in F1 and especially WRC in the last 20 years? In F1 it's been mostly Schumacher, Vettel and Hamilton, and in WRC almost exclusively Loeb and Ogier. It's almost as if the two sports have gone stale and the same drivers are practically meant to win multiple times, instead of having to seriously compete for their titles most of the time.
