If it was old-fashioned stockmanship you wouldn't breed from an inferior specimen. However if you had to, you would cull rigorously on its progeny.
Half Sibling mating is one common grandparent... 12.5% - still not large but as big as most would go, including Jim Clarke as you say.
If it was a case of simple mathematics (which it never is) you would put Brick to his daughter! However then you are breeding on Bricks parents and not brick himself.
Please consider my musings as harmless. I'm not out to pick fights, just putting it out there. If you want another brick, you have to inbreed on him
