RIP Sir Jack Brabham

The F1 world lost another legend
On Monday the 19th of May
When the very first Aussie champ
Sir Jack Brabham passed away
 
The stats speak for themselves
For certain with Sir Jack.
With 3 world titles and 14 wins
Talent wasn’t something he appeared to lack
 
Jack moved from Aus to the UK
To work as part of Cooper Racing
He was an amazing engineer
But Jack wanted to be driving, to be chasing…
 
 
 
He got his first F1 win at the greatest race,
The Monaco Grand Prix
Two world titles were also won,
Back to back in 1959 and 1960
 
But in 1966
Jack completely rewrote the history book
Winning the title in a car under his own name
Now that’s certainly down to talent not luck!
 
Sir Jack retired in 1970
And to this day his record still stands
Unlikely ever to be beaten
One thing that makes Jack a legend to fans
 
RIP Sir Jack Brabham
Your legend will always remain
And because of you Sir
We will continue to love and support the Brabham name…
