He is not just a Formula 1 world champion; Sir Jackie Stewart is also a champion in other areas: a champion of racing safety, of the mechanics who support every driver, of a charity facing up to a debilitating condition that affects many lives. Almost 50 years after the last race in a magnificent career, the Scot remains a force to be reckoned with.

Sir Jackie raced against names that have long passed into the history books – Clark, Hill, Gurney and McLaren – but he remains as energetic now as he was in his heyday. In this special issue we celebrate a racing life that has incorporated three Formula 1 world championships, Le Mans, Can-Am, Indy 500 and F1 team ownership. We also examine his crucial role in pushing for increased safety measures in the 1970s and his current campaigning with the Race Against Dementia charity.

Using Motor Sport’s unique archive reports and imagery from Stewart’s greatest races plus interviews and features by the sport’s finest writers, this latest edition in our popular Legends series creates the most in-depth portrait of one of motor racing’s most remarkable and most enduring figures.
