Stewart - 'I hardly ever drive'

14 October 2004

One of the most skilful men ever to get behind the wheel of a Formula One car has given up life on the black stuff. Sir Jackie Stewart, world champion in 1969, 1971 and 1973, told Scottish tabloid 'Daily Record' that he employed a chauffeur about five years ago.

It was then, said the Scot, that he was pinged for speeding. "I would consider myself now to be a below-average driver -- I hardly ever drive. I more or less use my car as an office."

The knighted former champion, though - president of the Silverstone-owning British Racing Drivers' Club - still enjoys burning rubber on a race track. Earlier in 2004, he sped around Ford's Dearborn test track near Detroit (USA) to help Ford develop the new GT road car.
