Triple world champion and F1 legend Sir Jack Brabham has died.<\/p>\n
The Australian, who won the titles in 1959, 1960 and – uniquely whilst driving for his own team – 1966, died “peacefully” at his home on the Gold Coast at the age of 88 on Monday, his family said.<\/p>\n
“He lived an incredible life, achieving more than anyone would ever dream of,” said David Brabham, who raced for Brabham in 1990 and Simtek in 1994.<\/p>\n
Brabham’s other sons, Geoff and Gary, also raced, as do grandsons Matthew and Sam.<\/p>\n
“I’d like to pay tribute to one of the most illustrious names in motor racing history,” said Ron Dennis, whose job working as a mechanic for Brabham in the late 60s was one of his first in F1.<\/p>\n
