Sir Jack Brabham Trophy Confirmed For Future Australian F1 Victors

Organisers of the Australian F1 Grand Prix have today confirmed that future winners will be awarded the newly named Sir Jack Brabham Trophy.

Titled in honour of the racing legend and national treasure, who passed away at age 88 in May, the trophy’s new name will complete a tribute already evident in its design.

The current trophy features a laminated and studded timber trim and three-spoke design, inspired by the steering wheel in the Cooper Climax racing car that Brabham piloted to his first F1 victory in 1959.

The news comes just hours after Australia's latest F1 star, Daniel Ricciardo, took his first F1 win in Canada.
