On this week’s Colossally, Matt and Richard reappraise the career of a driver whose unique achievement in winning the F1 world championship in a self-built machine bearing his own name will likely stand in eternity: Sir Jack Brabham.


In debates around F1’s greatest driver, Black Jack’s name doesn’t always come up, despite his three world titles - but should it? That’s one of the topics of conversation in a podcast that charts Brabham’s rise from the dirt tracks of his native Australia to the pinnacle of racing.


Matt and Richard discuss how Brabham’s engineering background, fierce competitiveness and ‘brutally effective’ driving style helped him forge a path to the top as not only a driver, but a team owner and constructor too.
