Sir John Young "Jackie" Stewart (born 11 June 1939) is a retired Scottish racing driver, broadcaster, and motorsport executive from the United Kingdom who participated in Formula One between and . Known as "the Flying Scot", Stewart secured three Formula One World Drivers' Championship titles with Tyrrell and held the records for the highest number of victories (27) and podium appearances (43) upon his retirement.
During his nine-year career, Stewart finished second twice and was the sole British driver to claim three championships until Lewis Hamilton matched this achievement in . Outside Formula One, he came close to winning the 1966 Indianapolis 500 and raced in the Can-Am series during 1970 and 1971. Between 1997 and 1999, he co-managed the Stewart Grand Prix F1 outfit alongside his son, Paul.
Following his retirement from racing, Stewart became a well-known ABC sports commentator, covering motorsport events including the Indianapolis 500, as well as multiple Summer Olympic Games, distinguished by his unmistakable Scottish accent. He also acted as a television ambassador for both Ford Motor Company and Heineken.
Stewart significantly contributed to advancing safety in motorsport by campaigning for better medical support and improved circuit conditions. After the passing of John Surtees in 2017, he remains the last living Formula One World Champion from the 1960s era and holds the distinction of being the oldest surviving Grand Prix winner.
Early life
Born in Milton, Dunbartonshire, Scotland, a village located west of Glasgow, Stewart came from a family engaged in automobile dealership, initially with Austin and later with Jaguar, establishing a prosperous enterprise. His father had experience as an amateur motorcycle racer, while his brother Jimmy competed in the 1953 British Grand Prix representing Ecurie Ecosse.
Stewart attended Hartfield primary school before progressing to Dumbarton Academy. Academic challenges arose due to undiagnosed dyslexia, which resulted in adverse treatment from educators and classmates. Unable to pursue formal education beyond age 16, he started working as an apprentice mechanic at his father’s garage. The dyslexia diagnosis came only at age 41 after his son received one; Stewart reflected that this condition encouraged him to adopt unconventional thinking and excel in areas aligned with his strengths.
At thirteen years old, Stewart won a clay pigeon shooting contest and became an accomplished member of Scotland’s shooting team, capturing British, Irish, Welsh, and Scottish skeet titles along with two European "Coupe de Nations" championships. He narrowly missed selection for the 1960 Summer Olympics trap shooting squad.
His first vehicle was an Austin A30 purchased just before turning seventeen for £375, money earned through tips at the family garage. Barry Filer, a regular customer of the family business, provided opportunities for test drives at Oulton Park. In 1961, Stewart competed in a Marcos, achieving four victories, and drove once in Filer’s Aston Martin DB4GT. The following year he tested a Jaguar E-type at Oulton Park, matching previous best lap times and won races piloting both the E-type and a Tojeiro EE Mk2 under Ecurie Ecosse’s banner. In 1963 alone, he notched fourteen wins.
In 1964 Stewart returned to Ecurie Ecosse. Meanwhile, Ken Tyrrell, who managed Cooper Car Company's Formula Junior squad, learned of Stewart’s impressive results and arranged for him to test a competitive Formula Three T72-BMC at Goodwood—previously driven by Bruce McLaren. Outperforming McLaren's times secured Stewart a position on Tyrrell’s team.
Junior career
In , Stewart entered the Formula Three (F3) scene with Tyrrell, making a remarkable debut at Snetterton by securing victory with a margin of 44 seconds. He turned down an early opportunity in Formula One from Cooper to accumulate more experience with Tyrrell, ultimately claiming the F3 championship while only missing out on victory twice. After testing a Lotus 33-Climax and gaining the approval of notable figures such as Colin Chapman and Jim Clark, he opted to join Lotus's Formula Two (F2) squad, achieving second place in his F2 debut at Circuit Clermont-Ferrand driving a Lotus 32-Cosworth.
BRM (1965–1967)
Stewart signed a contract worth £4,000 with BRM in , joining forces with Graham Hill. His first Formula One race resulted in a sixth-place finish at the South African Grand Prix. He earned his inaugural significant victory at the BRDC International Trophy and later triumphed at the 1965 Italian Grand Prix held at Monza, concluding his rookie season third in the World Drivers' Championship. Additionally, he competed in Tyrrell's F2 Cooper T75-BRM and piloted Rover’s turbine car during the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans.
During , Stewart won the Tasman Series ahead of teammate Hill and remained competitive against Jim Clark despite engine difficulties faced by Lotus. BRM's introduction of the 3-litre H16 engine proved unreliable; nevertheless, Stewart claimed victory at the Monaco Grand Prix driving a 2-litre vehicle. A serious accident at Spa-Francorchamps motivated him to advocate for enhanced safety measures in Formula One. That year also saw him win the Rothmans 12 Hour race and come close to winning the Indianapolis 500 on his first attempt, earning Rookie of the Year honors despite mechanical failure while leading.
BRM continued to face challenges in , although Stewart secured victory at the New Zealand Grand Prix during the Tasman Series and impressively finished second at Spa while driving one-handed due to car troubles. In Formula Two, he achieved wins at Karlskoga, Enna, Oulton Park, and Albi with Tyrrell-entered Matras. He also finished runner-up alongside Chris Amon for Ferrari at the BOAC 6 Hours Brands Hatch endurance event and made an unsuccessful attempt to qualify for the NASCAR National 500.
Matra/Tyrrell (1968–1973)
In , Stewart joined Tyrrell’s Matra International outfit, piloting a Matra MS10-Cosworth. Beyond driving duties, he played an instrumental role in management by securing sponsorship deals and coordinating with engine and tyre suppliers Ford and Goodyear. His season began strongly with victories at Zandvoort, Nürburgring, and Watkins Glen; however, mechanical failure in Mexico cost him the championship title to Hill.
The following year, Stewart dominated behind the wheel of the Matra MS80-Cosworth, capturing multiple commanding wins including Montjuïc, Clermont-Ferrand, Silverstone, Kyalami, Zandvoort, and Monza to secure the World Championship. He remains unique as the only driver to win the title in a French-made car entered by a private team and led every World Championship Grand Prix lap that season.
In , tensions emerged as Matra insisted on deploying their V12 engines while Tyrrell and Stewart preferred Cosworth units associated with Ford. After initially running a March 701-Cosworth chassis, Tyrrell developed its own car. Stewart won early events but struggled to keep pace with Lotus’s Lotus 72 development. The debut of the Tyrrell 001-Cosworth showed promise despite some setbacks. During this period, Stewart also participated intermittently in F2 races and made a one-off appearance in Can-Am driving the innovative Chaparral 2J.
Driving the Tyrrell 003-Cosworth in , Stewart claimed his second World Championship by winning six Grands Prix. Simultaneously, he competed full-time in Can-Am with Carl Haas-sponsored Lola T260-Chevrolet cars, finishing third overall amid fierce competition from McLaren drivers. The demanding schedule contributed to health problems including mononucleosis. In 1972, after missing races due to gastritis, he won four Grands Prix but finished runner-up to Emerson Fittipaldi. That year also saw him compete in the European Touring Car Championship piloting a Ford Capri RS2600 alongside fellow F1 drivers amid Ford-BMW rivalry; he was honored with an OBE.
Approaching retirement before the season due to lifestyle demands and health concerns, Stewart nonetheless secured four Grand Prix victories including his record-setting 27th win at Nürburgring. Following teammate François Cevert’s fatal crash at Watkins Glen, Stewart retired prematurely before reaching his 100th Grand Prix start. Despite setbacks during that season, he had already secured the Drivers' Championship two races earlier.
Stewart held the record for most Formula One wins (27) for fourteen years and most British victories for nineteen years until surpassed by Alain Prost and Nigel Mansell respectively. He expressed pride that Prost broke his record, acknowledging him as an exceptional driver. Until Lewis Hamilton surpassed him in 2015, Stewart was the only British driver with three World Championships. After John Surtees’ death in 2017, Stewart became the last surviving Formula One World Champion from the 1960s era and following Tony Brooks’ passing in 2022 remains the oldest living Grand Prix winner.
Racing safety advocate
During the 1966 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, Stewart experienced a severe crash in torrential rain, colliding with a telephone pole and a shed before coming to rest inside a farmer’s outbuilding. His leg was trapped by the steering column, while ruptured fuel tanks caused the cockpit to flood. With no track personnel or appropriate equipment available, fellow competitors Graham Hill and Bob Bondurant, who had also crashed nearby, came to his aid. Medical assistance and facilities were absent at the circuit; Stewart was placed in the bed of a pickup truck until an ambulance arrived. The ambulance driver became disoriented en route to a hospital in Liège. Eventually, Stewart was airlifted back to the United Kingdom for medical care. This experience motivated him to become an outspoken advocate for enhanced safety within motorsport, famously stating: "If I have any legacy to leave the sport I hope it will be seen to be an area of safety because when I arrived in Grand Prix racing so-called precautions and safety measures were diabolical."
Partnering with Louis Stanley, then head of the BRM team, Stewart campaigned vigorously for improved emergency response services and the installation of safer barriers at racing venues. He remarked: "We were racing at circuits where there were no crash barriers in front of the pits, and fuel was lying about in churns in the pit lane. A car could easily crash into the pits at any time. It was ridiculous." As a temporary solution, he employed a private physician for all his races and affixed a spanner to his BRM’s steering column for emergency use. Stewart was a prominent proponent of compulsory seat belts and full-face helmets—now standard equipment—and persistently urged track owners to upgrade their infrastructure. He orchestrated driver boycotts at Spa-Francorchamps (1969), the Nürburgring (1970, supported by friend Jochen Rindt), and Zandvoort (1972), demanding improvements such as barriers, runoff zones, firefighting teams, and medical support before resuming competition. Despite opposition from certain drivers, media representatives, and organizers concerned about expenses, Stewart maintained: "I would have been a much more popular World Champion if I had always said what people wanted to hear. I might have been dead, but definitely more popular."
Consultant
Beginning in 1964, Stewart entered into a 25-year consultancy role with the Ford Motor Company. He instructed Ford engineers on recognizing areas for enhancement in vehicle development, applying his racing expertise to advance automobile design and safety features. His knowledge of high-performance cars contributed significantly to Ford’s progress in safety standards and performance capabilities, fostering the creation of more innovative and secure automobiles.
ABC's Wide World of Sports and NBC Sportsworld
Between 1971 and 1986, Stewart worked as both a color commentator and host for broadcasts covering F1, NASCAR, and Indy car events, including the prestigious Indianapolis 500. Additionally, he provided play-by-play commentary for luge and equestrian competitions during the 1976 Olympics on ABC's Wide World of Sports. Renowned for his sharp insights and rapid commentary style, Stewart relied on notes during broadcasts due to his dyslexia.
In 2023, on the Beyond the Grid Podcast, Stewart reflected on his broadcasting career, recalling collaborations with Jim McKay and frequent transatlantic trips aboard Concorde while covering Stock Car races for ABC.
Stewart was outspoken about driver safety issues, especially criticizing lax standards regarding fire-resistant clothing following incidents such as Bobby Wawak’s fire during the 1977 Daytona 500. His simultaneous involvement in Ford commercials aired on Wide World of Sports caused friction with ABC Sports producer Roone Arledge, ultimately leading to Stewart’s departure in 1986. He commented that ABC’s mergers with ESPN and Capital Cities led to budget reductions that negatively impacted program quality.
Following this period, Stewart provided commentary for CART-sanctioned Indy car road and street races on NBC SportsWorld from 1987 until 1988 alongside Paul Page and Charlie Jones. However, he did not return in 1989, being replaced by Johnny Rutherford and Tom Sneva.
Television coverage in Australia and Canada
From the late 1980s through to the mid-1990s, Stewart contributed to Formula One broadcasts on television networks in both Australia and Canada.
Television coverage in the United Kingdom
Stewart occasionally teamed up with Murray Walker as a co-commentator for the BBC’s Formula One broadcasts, including coverage of the British Grands Prix in 1979 and 1993.
Formula One team ownership
In 1997, Stewart re-entered Formula One by establishing Stewart Grand Prix, collaborating closely with his son Paul. This team was an evolution of the earlier Paul Stewart Racing operation, which had competed in junior racing categories. Acting as Ford’s official works team, they made their first appearance at the 1997 Australian Grand Prix. The highlight of their inaugural season was Rubens Barrichello’s second-place finish at the rain-impacted Monaco Grand Prix. However, the following year in 1998, the team struggled to maintain competitiveness and failed to secure any podium finishes.
Following Ford’s acquisition of Cosworth in July 1998, Stewart Grand Prix developed a new engine for the 1999 season. Their SF3 chassis showed consistent performance, culminating in Johnny Herbert’s victory at the European Grand Prix held at the Nürburgring. Barrichello contributed with three third-place results, achieved a pole position in France, and briefly led his home race at Interlagos. Subsequently, Ford purchased the team outright and rebranded it as Jaguar Racing in 2000; this entity later transformed into Red Bull Racing by 2005. Additionally, Stewart acted as head sports consultant and patron for the Royal Bank of Scotland, choosing to forgo his fee for 2009 after the bank reported a £24 billion loss in 2008.
Recognition and accolades
Known by the moniker "The Flying Scot," Stewart earned Sports Illustrated magazine’s "Sportsman of the Year" award in 1973—the only motorsport competitor to be honored with this distinction. That same year, he was awarded BBC Television’s "Sports Personality of the Year" and shared ABC's Wide World of Sports Athlete of the Year title with O. J. Simpson. He was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1990 and received honorary doctorates from Heriot-Watt University (1996) and Cranfield University (1998), where he also chaired the steering committee for their MSc Motorsport Engineering and Management program.
Stewart appeared on This Is Your Life in 1970. He was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1971 and was knighted in 2001 in recognition of his contributions to motor racing. In 2002, he became a founding patron and inaugural inductee of the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame. The World Forum on Sport Shooting Activities honored him with their Sport Shooting Ambassador Award in 2003 for his efforts promoting shooting sports worldwide. In 2008, he received an honorary Doctor of Science degree from the University of St Andrews.
In June 2009, Stewart was bestowed with the Freedom of West Dunbartonshire during a ceremony in his hometown of Dumbarton. He was named among the founding members of Motor Sport magazine’s Hall of Fame in 2010. In January 2012, he had the honor of giving the starting command at the Rolex 24 at Daytona’s milestone 50th Anniversary event.
In a 2020 ranking by The Economist, Stewart was positioned as the fourth greatest Formula One driver ever when considering car performance relative to driver ability, trailing only Fangio, Clark, and Prost. Various objective mathematical analyses consistently rank him among Formula One’s elite drivers.
Additional Appearances
In the 1966 film Grand Prix, Stewart executed all the driving sequences for actor Brian Bedford, who did not perform the driving himself. The 1972 documentary Weekend of a Champion, produced by Roman Polanski, featured Stewart during a race weekend at the 1971 Monaco Grand Prix. He made a brief appearance in a 1977 episode of Lupin III portraying a rival in the 1977 Monaco Grand Prix. The single "Faster" was released by George Harrison in 1979 as an homage to Stewart, Niki Lauda, and other drivers; Stewart appeared in its music video as Harrison’s chauffeur, donning his trademark tartan cap.
In 1983, Stewart and his son Mark appeared together in an advertisement for the Vectrex gaming console. He contributed the foreword to Andrew Whyte's book The Centenary of the Car 1885–1985 in 1984 and took part in Prince Edward’s 1987 charity event, The Grand Knockout Tournament. Stewart also featured in a 1993 promotional film for the then-new Ford Mondeo, distributed alongside What Car? magazine. Additionally, he appeared in Robbie Williams' music video for "Supreme" released in 2000.
Between 2002 and 2003, Stewart starred in UPS commercials offering driving advice to Dale Jarrett, and he served as a driving coach on Top Gear for presenter James May. He was extensively interviewed for Martin Scorsese's 2011 documentary George Harrison: Living in the Material World. In 2018, Stewart celebrated half a century with luxury watchmaker Rolex. That same year, he appeared in US advertisements for Heineken, where he declined a beer by saying "I'm still driving" before departing in a Jaguar F-Type.
Helmet
Stewart's helmet was predominantly white, adorned with the red, green, blue, white, and yellow pattern of the Royal Stewart tartan encircling its upper section.
Personal Life
Since 1962, Stewart has been married to his childhood companion Helen McGregor. Together they have two sons: Paul, who formerly competed as a racing driver and co-managed Paul Stewart Racing with Jackie before selling it in 1999, and Mark, who works as a producer in film and television. From 1969 until 1997, the family resided in Begnins near Lake Geneva, eventually selling their home to musician Phil Collins.
Due to dyslexia, Stewart dictated his autobiography titled Winning Is Not Enough. He also shared insights about his strong bond with his elder brother Jimmy, a former racing driver who battled alcoholism and passed away in 2008. In 2014, Helen received a diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia.
In response to this challenge, Stewart established the charity Race Against Dementia in 2018. As Helen’s condition advanced to require full-time care, he is focused on leveraging Formula 1 technology and innovative approaches to fast-track dementia research. By 2025, her symptoms had deteriorated considerably. Race Against Dementia is supporting the development of a blood test designed to identify non-genetic frontotemporal dementia up to two decades earlier than current diagnostic methods.
