Sir Jack passed away today, Monday, at the age of 88. The Australian won three Formula 1 world titles and is the only man to have won the championship driving a car bearing his name. Brabham became the first Australian to win the Formula 1 title, pushing his car uphill to the finishing line to secure that success after running out of fuel on the final lap of the 1959 US Grand Prix at Sebring. That alone should make him a legend. RIP Sir Jack.
