Sir Jackie StewartIn this special episode we talk to Sir Jackie Stewart, three-times World Champion and the winner of 27 Grands Prix for BRM and Tyrrell. A tireless campaigner for safety and charitable causes throughout his racing career, and in the years that followed his retirement in 1973, Sir Jackie is today acclaimed globally as one of the most significant figures in the history of our sport. In the aftermath of the shocking accident in Las Vegas that cost the life of Dan Wheldon, he talks about lessons that can be learned in all disciplines of the sport - and about the F1 politics over the years that, astonishingly, have led to Sir Jackie never being asked to take a formal role (in the area of safety) within the sport. Despite that omission, there is no doubt that no single individual has done more for the safety of drivers, pit crew and spectators. We talk about his favourite cars, his most "harmonious" races, his own mental approach to racing, about the current F1 stars, about Red Bull Racing - a team he originated in Milton Keynes - and about the searching question he asked of Ayrton Senna early in 1990, now made famous by the "Senna" movie . Candid and open, Sir Jackie also talks about his battle with dyslexia and his spiritual beliefs.

Yo, that’s what’s up ttruhflluy.
Just had the chance to sit and watch in total.
GREAT INTERVIEW!!
sir i listen to your webcast and i find the audio quality (level of volume ) in the live telecast is very low can increase level of volume
thank you
I was lucky enough to sit next to you at the Coutts dinner. Really enjoyed the interview and the evening.I wasn’t aware of your show so a double bonus that evening. Although I don’t usually go that far, in Sir Jackies words ‘it must be gods work’. Thanks for a great interview.
Miss seeing you on Speed. Good job on the show.
Oh, you just announced Nigel Mansell as next week’s guest. Awesome.
Great show. Thanks for ScarbsF1 on Twitter for alerting me to it.
Safety is paramount and equipment is the key not speed. With all due respect to Sir Jackie Stewart, the IRL machine needs to be looked at including both the cars and the tracks.
As for Lewis Hamilton. He needs to sort it all out but can anyone blame him for his mindset and subsequent behaviour. The stunt that Massa pulled on him put him in a mental place that affords for his reaction.
He needs to be on guard at all times.
RIP Dan.
Safety,Safety,Safety.
Do you think that Dan Wheldon should win the Seagrave Trophy for winning the Indy 500 for a second time this year? Can’t think of another British driver who has won a blue riband international motorsport event this year
Thank you for your answers.
Auto Motor und Sport wrote about a driver-independent F-duct collecting air from the nose inside down the support of the frontwing to stall the wing at high speed.
Autosport will cover it as well. I would love to see such a system, because it is another spark of creativity inside that straightjacket of rules.
Thank You very much Peter, TFL and Globe for this wonderful evening with Sir Jackîe.
RIP to Dan Wheldon. Motorsport can be very sad…
So many drivers are under so much pressure to perform from their sponsors that it potentially takes away from their driving.
What a fantastic interview with Sir Jackie Stewart – Amazing. By the way, Thank you to everyone at The Flying Lap and Globe for my super trainers, they are so comfortable.
Ask Jackie about his mars bars…. Seriously though, What do you think about the fact that the Dallara, were it to come to a “classics” race, it would qualify as a “classic”? I ask because Carbon fiber is famous for being brittle and with the financial state of Indycar and the fact that this iteration of the dallara if being cycled out, I wouldn’t be surprised if parts were being use in the series (not necessarily having anything to do with the Weldon crash) that were past their sell-by date. This is not down to malice but rather cost or even could be overlooked if a team was short staffed.
Thank you for this amazing interview — I organized my day around it. I would love Jackie Stewart to take on a role in the FiA for safety concerns; for the WMC especially. I’d also love for him to get Lewis’ head around as a drivers’ coach/manager. Thanks again for bringing this to us…as I’ll never likely get to talking to Sir Jackie on motorsports, and life success (parent of girls with learning disabilities) this and his book will have to do :) Cheers Peter, as always!
