Sir Jack Brabham, arguably Australia's best ever motor driver, has passed away at 88.
A rarity in the F1 industry, Sir Jack designed, constructed and drove his own car to the F1 championship in 1966. He was the F1 Champion three times - in 1959, 1960 and 1966 - whilst being 2nd in 1967 and 5th in 1970.
A giant of the industry as well another of the true gentleman of sport, Sir Jack's legacy is one all Australians should admire and his 'can do' Aussie attitude is something to be applauded, showing that if you believe hard enough, if you work hard enough and don't settle for 2nd place, then you will succeed.
