Swiss media said Alain Prost, 71, was slightly injured in the head after several masked intruders stormed his home in Nyon on Tuesday morning.
Vaud police said the gang threatened the family, forced one member to open a safe and fled with stolen items whose value is still being assessed.
An 8:30 a.m. large-scale manhunt was launched with Swiss and French police and border security, while psychological support was provided to the family.
Prost is a four-time Formula One world champion, with only Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton and Juan Manuel Fangio having won more titles.
