From the RacingNews365 archive, on Sir Jackie Stewart’s 85th birthday, here’s why one member of the team considers him to be the greatest F1 driver.
There is a distinction between the greatest Formula 1 driver of all time and the greatest racing driver of all time, as they are not the same thing. Drivers like Sir Stirling Moss, Mario Andretti, and Graham Hill have left their mark in different racing disciplines, but they may not hold the title of ‘F1 GOAT.’ Sir Jackie Stewart, a three-time World Champion, is a strong contender for that title, especially considering his impact on F1’s safety measures and his success on the track. His legacy goes beyond his championships, as he was a pivotal figure in improving safety standards in Formula 1, as demonstrated by his actions in races like the 1969 Belgian Grand Prix. Despite not having the consecutive title wins like Schumacher and Hamilton, Stewart’s influence on the sport and his skill in wheel-to-wheel racing make him a standout in F1 history.
