The Bio
Jack Brabham’s three world championships were the product of both his engineering expertise and driving skill. His first two titles, in rear-engined Coopers he helped develop, confirmed the obsolescence of front-engined Formula 1 cars. His third title, in a Brabham, made him the only driver to become champion in a car of his own make.
For his lifetime achievements, which also included nurturing the talents of other notable drivers and pioneering the business side of the sport, he became the first Formula 1 driver to receive a knighthood.
