Tony Brooks
Another legend has sadly left us .... Hope he is with Sir Stirling and all the other greats from the 50’s and 60’s.

The picture attached to the story of 8 of the great F1 drivers around a very young Damon Hill is a real few of how different the world of F1 is today. The last of the truely gentlemen drivers from a bygone age, he will be missed

Sad news. A great driver who history has tended to overlook. Just think he could have won the 1959 title if one or two circumstances beyond his control had been different.
RIP Tony. |

Yes, Roebuck also did a great profile of him in both Grand Prix Greats and Chasing the Title
