Jackie Stewart, early 1970s. Scottish motor racing driver Jackie Stewart began his Formula 1 career in 1965, winning the Italian Grand Prix in his debut season. In a career lasting until 1973, he won a then record 27 Grands Prix, as well as three World Drivers' Championships, in 1969, 1971 and 1973. After suffering a serious accident in 1966, Stewart became a prominent campaigner for improved safety in motor racing. In 1997 he returned to Formula 1 as owner of his own team. Stewart is pictured here in conversation with two men, fellow racing driver John Surtees on the right.
