By DEREK JOHN

It is one month since Australian Jack. Brabham' pushed his Cooper car ovar the finishing line at Sebring, Florida, and was hailed as the now world champion, racing driver. · Next month the battle for the speed crown starts all over again. The first title event will be the Argentine Grand Prix on February 7, And since the United States Grand Prix, is again scheduled "for December, it seems that the Grandes Epreuves will once more be spread over ten months.

What are the prospects for the 1900 season?

It seems that' at least six, and

British possibly soven teams will be in the champion- ship battle. The new Yeoman Credit Racing team has bought and three Formula 1 Coopers has signed Harry Schell for the season, besides Chris Bristow.

Also in the field will be Aston Martin, Cooper, RRM, Lotus and the Rob Walker Cooper team. Vanwalls may make a comeback, too.
