Editing Jacky Ickx (section)

===Brabham (1969)===
In [[1969 Formula One season|1969]], Ickx moved to [[Brabham]], partly at the instigation of the [[John Wyer]] team for whom he'd had considerable success in sports cars. Wyer's main sponsor, [[Gulf Oil]] were keen to ensure that they retained his services rather than possibly lose him to [[Ferrari]]'s sports car team.<ref name ="ReferenceA"/> His first results at Brabham were poor, but after [[Jack Brabham]] broke his foot in a testing accident, Ickx's results improved: [[Alan Henry]] suggests that Ickx performed better with the whole team focussed on him.<ref>Henry (1985) p.85 "Interestingly, the somewhat unpredictable Belgian rose to the occasion in superb fashion and seemed able to produce more impressive form when the effort was concentrated on him exclusively rather than being shared with the boss."</ref> Ickx finished third in [[1969 French Grand Prix|France]], second in [[1969 British Grand Prix|Great Britain]] and won in [[1969 Canadian Grand Prix|Canada]] and in [[1969 German Grand Prix|Germany]] at the Nürburgring, where he also took pole position and fastest lap,<ref name="ReferenceB">{{cite book|title=The Guinness Complete Grand Prix Who's Who|author=Steve Small|year=1994 |page=197|publisher=Guinness |isbn=0851127029}}</ref> in the last Formula One race there before 'The Ring' was made less bumpy and dangerous. In the [[1969 Mexican Grand Prix]] Ickx finished second and ended the year as runner-up in the drivers' world championship, behind Stewart. He returned to the Ferrari team for the 1970 season, a move he had been considering since the Italian Grand Prix.<ref>Henry (1985) p.89</ref>
