StarMountainKid Posted May 24, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I would say Sir Jack Brabham was actually a pretty good driver, having won the F! World Championship in 1959, 1960 and 1966. Here's a great pic of a beautiful Brabham F1 car with Sir Jack at the wheel at the Nurburgring in 1962, the first race for the Brabham F1 car. From Peter Windsor Youtube channel.
