| Video Discription | The passing of Sir Jack Brabham is "a huge loss" and a "very sad day for the motor racing world", says Australian former Formula One champion Alan Jones Sir Jack Brabham, who died at the age of 88 on Monday, was famously a man of few words but his actions on the Formula One track had a major impact on the motorsport that still resonates today. The three Formula One titles that "Black Jack" won in 1959, 1960 and 1966 proved to Australians that they could beat the best in the world and blazed the trail for the likes of Alan Jones, Mark Webber and now Daniel Ricciardo. "It's a huge loss. Not only for Australia but for the motor racing world," said Jones, who won the 1980 world title to become only the second Australian Formula One champion. "He's truly one of the greats. He's up there with Fangio and Schumacher and some of the great men of motor racing. Today will be a very sad day for the motor racing world." Sir Jack's last title came at the wheel of a car he helped design and build, an unprecedented feat and one highly unlikely to be replicated in the billion dollar high-tech industry that Formula One has become. "I think Jack's achievements to win a Grand Prix in a car that he actually designed and built and engineered is an enormous achievement, " said Jones. "It wasn't done before him and I doubt very much indeed it'll be done after him." The sport he entered at the British Grand Prix at Aintree in July 1955 was very different, a high octane championship only five years old played out on mostly ramshackle tracks and, by any standards, extremely dangerous. Competitive to the end, Sir Jack was running third 15 years later when a blown engine forced him to retire from his 126th and final Formula One race in Mexico. Although a household name in Australia as the country's first Formula One world champion, Sir Jack's natural reserve meant he never became the stereotypical sporting hero. "Jack was a man of few words, he certainly wasn't a chatterbox that's for sure, " said Jones. "When he spoke you listened. A very down to earth man, a very genuine man, a very generous man."
