Being an Aussie motorcycle reviewer & self confessed petrol head I thoroughly enjoyed this video of one of my childhood heroes, thanks very much for a professional well edited & well narrated video.👍
It’s interesting how the drivers of his era, a mighty dangerous era, are never mentioned by the current fans and pundits when speaking of great drivers. Fangio Brabham Jim Clark Graham Hill Jackie Stewart John Surtees Niki Lauda These days it’s like these guys never existed
The greats, Senna - they've heard of Senna and understandably, but definitely haven't heard of Brabham, who I rate in the top 5 with Senna, Fangio, Clarke, Prost then Brabham
Speaking about dangerous era i met Niki Lauda when he had Lauda Air. I was taken aback how disfigured he was from that acco but a lovely bloke. Got his autograph.
I heard a recording of the podium celebrations from the 1966 British GP where the anthem they played was Waltzing Matilda (which was never the anthem). I heard a story about the British GP in 1970 where Jack ran out of fuel at the last corner. His chief mechanic, Ron Denis, went over the fence and put fuel in the car. It was implied that he did this in an attempt to hide the fact that Ron hadn't put sufficient fuel in the car.
When Jacky Ickx completed his 1969 contract with Brabham, he finished vice-champion, assembling 37 points from two victories and five podiums. whilst Jack Brabham completed that same year with only two podiums and a tally of 14 points that earned him the 10th spot in the world championship... I'd love my co-driver even if a tad too Primadona from an Australian standpoint...or was it just Old Jack suffering a bout of 'matter of sour grapes'? Jean-Louis
Ron Tauranac isn't the only person to say this. I saw an interview with Jackie Oliver who shared a car with Ickx at Le Mans. He had a similar opinion of him. Not a team player. Ickx would probably fit right in in modern Formula 1!
Ron Tauranac was talking about Jochen Rindt not Jacki Ickx who was very popular with the teams. Jochen was by many accounts a great bloke but could be aloof. I rate Jochen as one of the greats. Jacki is of course 'the' legend of Le Man.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow what a history lesson so good to learn that the Aussies and Kiwis did so well in the F1 makes me so happy ❤❤❤
Excellent documentary. Terrible youtube advertisement content interruptions. Thank you for posting.

@@richardwilton722 : I've met Jacki and I can assure you he is a very down to earth, very friendly bloke who stops and talks to you.
