Jackie Stewart is a man of grace and class.
Sir Jackie has saved many lives. It's hard to quantify how many, but it's certain he has. A great man on and off the race track.
Rest in peace to Jim Clark, 7-4-1968. A great man and a great legend. Also RIP to Andreas Nikolaus "Niki" Lauda who passed back on May 20th, 2019. Sir John "Jackie" Young Stewart OBE is still with us at 82 years in age and still a legend. My hat's always off to all of you originators of the sport.
Funny... you have the right date in the second line. But it was April 7th, 1968. Do you hear July anywhere? NO!!! So it should be 4/7/68... British idiot...
Do people put up these comments for likes?
Por favor en castellano
Senna and Jochan Mass too
Rip to all who died
This is one of the best, most sensitive and yet objective views into the "legendary" era of F1 racing and the safety evolution Jackie Stewart led. Fifty plus years ago there was a lot of resistance to what Jackie was saying and trying to change. In 1974 I stood next to him as he finished an interview and a guy on the other side of him said "Jackie, please come back, we want to see you racing again." Stewart replied with a sigh, "Well, a person has to quit sometime."
He is alive today, not only because of his talent but because he knew when to stop. The same with Ickx. They survived an age when the odds were terrible.
Wow the look on Jochen Mass' face at the mere mention of Gilles....it's rather painful to see just how much he blamed himself even years afterwards for something that wasn't his fault.
I noticed that too. The pain still hurts him.
That was the most emotional part of that documentary for me, was seeing how visibly it still affected Mass. I wish he could let it go, because the way Gilles drove, and i say this with all respect and admiration for how he drove, there was realistically only one outcome. And that outcome had nothing to do with Jochen Mass.
Jackie has more class, empathy and humanity in his piss than 1000 random people you'd pick. Man, what a great human being.
Also in the top 5 best ever British drivers along with Clark, Moss, Hawthorne and Surtees
Loved Jackie, my hero, used to wish his car would brake down so he wouldn’t get badly hurt or worse, pleased he survived.
Met the guy once--he tolerated me talking about my RX-7. A very decent man, who did so much to make his sport safer. Everything a legend should be.
And 10000% scumbag to Senna, “you’ve caused more accidents than all of the world champions before you COMBINED” ??? F’n slander. And not even factual. Loved seeing Senna humiliate him.
Perhaps he treated Senna the way he did because you couldn’t say that Senna drove in the same “gentlemanly” manner that Clark did, for example, or Rindt. Two drivers that Stewart raced against and saw how it is possible to race and win and not have the other man off…
Sir Jackie Stuart is a gem. What a genius. I didn’t know he suffered so badly as a child. Horrible. I’m glad he got out of the game before a tragic accident.
At Australia's first international F1 GP event (Adelaide, 1985), Jackie Stewart was the Nine Network's expert TV commentator. At the end of Day 1 (free practice etc.), the commentary team asked him what he thought of this new racetrack - overall excellent, with the added casual remark that the runoff road at the end of Brabham Straight seemed a bit short. The following morning, they were astounded that the Organising Committee had heard the casual comment on TV, and shifted the crash barrier back by 20 to 30 metres.
That's a very emotional and fantastic documentary video, sir jackie is a living Legend.
He lost so many friends... Jimmy... Jochen... Then François...
Of course he became such a safety advocate... It was personal...
He reckoned he and Lady Helen went to over 60 funerals of racing drivers in the time of his racing career
The fact the drivers had to push for safety and these owners and organizers gave them grief is astounding
Jackie Stewart is a great man, I always noticed his amazing human side. My brother Paul is a severe learning disability, his kindergarten principal told my mom he was unteachable, and would be better off staying home. He went into the military with the highest aptitude score in base history, and finally working at NASA as an inspector for the shuttle program.
Clark, Hill, Ickx, Stewart, Moss - gentlemen who raced all sorts of cars, not just F1. And they were excellent in everything they drove. Real men!
Sir Jackie, absolute class act.
A really great documentary, thanks.
Sir Jackie Stewart, a wonderful and amazing man who will forever be remembered for his tenacity, gentlemanly conduct and all he did for safety.
Rest easy Sir. Never forgotten.
he is still alive you silly sausage
The only problem with so much safety is that racing has become almost sterile. That and teams buying their wins.
But I am COMPLETELY thrilled that we don't lose a racer at almost every race.
From the early 1900's to 1955, racing deaths were bad, but not unbelievable. From 1955 to 1980, there were FAR too many deaths.
Since Senna's death, there have truly been less deaths than successes.
That is a miracle of modern science and engineering that is wonderful to know is true.
Sir Jackie is my favourite driver of all time.
Jackie Stewart has saved untold lives thanks to his fighting for driver safety. It's still exciting but far safer. 🇦🇺 😊
I watched that era as a kid, here in the US. Growing in the deep south.. We never saw this side of the sport from the media during the few times a year on the ABC network. Mr. Stewart is correct, safety @ F1 is extremely good.
I WATCHED IT IN TEXAS.
And we thought some F1 drivers had tragic lives.
I'm very sorry for both of you.
@@michaellavery4899 pahaha 😂
That was a great documentry and god bless Jackie Stewart for being such a great ambassador to the legacy of formula one racing. The drivers that competed in those years are indeed a very special rare breed as well. Rest in peace to all that paid the ultimate price in indulging in their passion for speed and victory. Their legacy will never die
This was very well done, apart from one oversight.
What of Roland Ratzenberger, who died after crashing at Imola during qualifying, the day before Senna's accident?
Also, we now have the spectacle of watching an F1 driver climb out of a wrecked and burning car. Romain Grosjean was not Jim Clark or Jocken Rindt (sp?), but he survived a most horrific accident because of all the safety features built into a modern F1 car.
Yes, I was also thinking about Grosjean. Remarkable that he survived that. The man has a guardian angel.
@@SH-bm8yp - or a team of guardian engineers.
He had the halo. Without the halo Grosjean, Leclerc and Hamilton would've all died
It's been a long time since I've been that moved by a video. Jackie Stewart is an legend of a man.
The emotions they all went through is just like the emotions that I and many others had when Dale Earnhardt Sr. had died while racing.
I grew up near the Route 66 Raceway in Joliet IL when it was being built back in the 90s… I eventually became a fan. I was glad his son Jr. continued the legacy. 💯🔥💙
I took a lot of pictures of an empty stretch of wall at Daytona that summer.
With the big exception of the ego.
Gilles Villeneuve refused to use the seatbelt, because he feared getting stuck in the car and d¡€ in a fire. He stated it firmly - no pride, no mocking.
Look at DE Sr flaunting his ¡9₪¤Гa₪t idea that the HANS device would strangle him in interviews.
Both took decisions that lead to their demises. Gilles was a maverick in his car, pure flair and magic - meeting his end as he was catapulted out if his car in Zolder. I never stopped thinking that DE Sr, as opposed to Villeneuve, called the karma witch on himself. I feel pain thinking about Gilles. Not about Dale Sr. It was not just distrust like the Canadian, it was pure obnoxious ¡9₪¤Гa₪©€. His attitude in life towards the device which could have saved his life reeks of hubris and arrogance.
@Lathrop your going to rot in hell with that comment your horseshit information is only 50% correct Gilles was true Earnhardt's was the same horseshit misbelief as that of his death being the reason nascar mandated the Hans device Earnhardt never said that he was referring to helmet designs after Petty and Irwin Jr died with Dave Marcus and the comment used in that was taken out of context Earnhardt didn't wear it because it restricted his movement and made him uncomfortable
Jackie stewart will always be a legend in more ways than one
My team was furious when I spent the money on a fuel cell for the car instead of more motor work ... up until the next weekend when two cars came together in the x and one went up like a torch. But on the other hand, after my first time in the wall, my partner couldn't understand how I was willing to get back in the car. I told him it was simple. You're on a race track. You're going to be going into the wall. It's not a question of if, but when. If you're afraid of that you have no business getting into the car to begin with.
So both safety and acknowledgment and acceptance of the risk are needed if you want to race. You can replace a car. You can't replace a driver.
You can replace a driver. You can't replace a life.
Jim Clark the best driver ever , his indi 500 win says it all laps ahead , great man RIP
Sir Jackie Steward is just a remarkable man
Absolutely ENGROSSING!! What a well made and motivational video…🇺🇸
Excellent documentary.I grew up in the fifties and sixties watching F1 racing on tv.
Thumbs up to the producers.. One of the best docu on the subject I have seen.. As tragic and heartbreaking as it is to watch, it's riveting.. Cheers..
some bad continuity though because i get the idea that this is a cut down version of a longer documentary - so now i want to see the whole thing.
Gilles Villeneuve was to formula 1 what Dale Earnhardt Sr. was to NASCAR. While Gilles would only win 6 races in his short career (and no championships), Dale Sr. would go on to have 76 career wins and 7 championships. But both had the same drive, focus and total conviction in their capabilities. Imagine an IROC race (where all cars are identical in all respects) with both Gilles and Dale Sr. racing for the win... That would have been epic! RIP to all those professional drivers who passed away doing what they loved...Racing
The best video on racing safety!
For a wife or a significant other to ask a man who's lived his life obsessed with cars and racing to ask a man to retire or give up his love is like asking him to lay down and die. I LOVE cars, I love internal combustion engines, and my wife knows absolutely nothing about them, and she asks me to stop working on them, but she knows that her request falls on deaf ears because I love working on cars and modifying cars. I would do anything for my wife and kids, and I'd gladly lay my life on the line for any of them, but she doesn't understand how it feels to have an obsession and how it'd feel to move on from that when it's been a big part of your life for so long.
I think she just wants to make sure she still has a husband, and more importantly your children still have a father. She sees the risk in what obsesses you and it terrifies her. For her not understanding your obsession, maybe you aren't understanding she lives with the constant fear of a phone call or visit which changes your family's life for ever.
When I was a kid J.Stewart was my favorite. I met Jackie Ickx at Sebring when I was 12.
I had no idea Jackie Stewart was dyslexic. Wow. And then yes, the sadness and the quandary that is early Lotus. Jackie's position was unreasonable because NOFA King way could you herd that many cats under that circumstance.
he said he was sevearly dislexic, my son has this I should show him this video
Severely* Dyslexic*
And here we are where your only genuine exciting races tend to be when it rains .its now a parade of lovely cars.
Personalmente para mí el mejor piloto y estupendo reportaje 👌
When I was a little girl in the early 70's, I thought Jackie Stewart was the handsomest, most glamorous man on earth. To this day, I have no interest in racing whatsoever but I will listen to Stewart talk about racing as long as he cares to. He is a thoughtful, fascinating man!
Stewart's book is a very good read, mainly because it is so detailed.
Outstanding 🙏.
Those were the days of the really great f1 races. It may be much safer today but it also very phony competition wise
Still better than watching drivers die on a regular basis
Love Jackie Stewart. What a great man. 🏴
Humility is also part of talent. These guys were are and will remain above all nowadays drivers.
Having met both Colin Chapman at Mosport and Sir Jackie Stewart at The Monterey Historics I cannot say enough of how approachable they were.
Jim Clark was and remains my very favorite driver in any class of car!
what's that song used for introducing Vilneurve...??? "something something pleasure..."...I don't lnow the name so help me out... And sorry for spelling the name wrong... And Thank You Sir Jacky Stewart for everything you've done for the sport...
God Bless Sir Jackie well done.
Damn. Such an honest man. Such an extreme gentleman. Classic example of all intelligences are not equal!
If we could all find anyone's true talents. The potentials for all of society are undoubtedly infinite!
Utterly ridiculousness that F1 would continue to risk their main attraction...their drivers...fans expected drivers to push limits, nobody showing up to a race was or is there to watch a man die...again, drivers' heads continued to remained vulnerable above the height of the car and cars literally got "air" leaving the race track at times.
The inspiration to lead all of F1 to demand change shows the power of unity. The continued callousness of racetrack organizers and F1 was disgusting.
❤ to Jackie Stewart.
Legend for sure
Jim Clark the Greatest in F1. Nuvolari and Villeneuve come close just without the same amount of trophies
Jim Clark, the best of his era. That's all he can be.
Jackie Stewart true legend and a great great champion…so glad we now live in an era where dyslexia is recognised.
As someone who was involved in the death of a friend. NEVER PLAY THE WOULDA, COULDA, SHOULDA GAME. You will only make the depression worse. Go do something you enjoy instead, or do something in dedication to that friend.
Im 65 and a fan of Jackie Stewart. Never heard of his dyslexia. But he was sensible and a juggernaut of safety.
Sir jackie is a hero .. hes my inspiration for rally racing. Rip in heaven my friend..
Please don't "rush him"... He's still ALIVE!
He's alive.. what the hell?
There are a number of RUclips videos of Stewart's speaking engagements, and all are quite interesting.
Rip for both Villeneuve and Senna. But, they were both over the edge wreckless drivers. Such drivers are still around today of course but they survive due to safer cars and tracks.
Senna was not a wreckless driver he did what was allowed but his rivals and the F 1 president target him all the time and tried to get him disqualified. It's not easy when the F 1 president was favouring Alain Prost. Senna was one of them who cared of racing safety and was fighting for it but was always shut down by the F 1 president. The other drivers (not Prost) agreed with Senna.
@@seehjs
virtually no one agreed with senna - they all thought he was a dangerous bible basher who only though of himself
Not a popular comment, however their is an element of truth in it. Both did take risks in all honesty.
Sir Jackie Stewart, AKA Robin. Only in comparison to Jim Clark. Great doc. thanks for the work.
Love you Mr Stewart
Well done J.S your a legend mate 👍✌
So right 🙏
Like that the camera car around 19 minutes in, chasing a sophisticated single seater, is a Formula Vee.
And the sophisticated single seater is an F2 car.
As someone who has mild CP, in response to the dyslexic comments, I would like to say don’t let your disability get you down!
TY 👍
While Sir Jackie was instrumental in overall safety in F1.........but as far as the track situation...... it was the when live worldwide TV coverage that came into effect with F1 where race fans watching on TV became appalled at seeing their heroes die live in front of the eyes that really pushed the change to make tracks safer.......or possibly loose further TV coverage (and the resultant revenue stream from that to the sport) that helped push the goals Sir Jackie brought to the forefront with the racing circuits.
Great comments. Just one thing though, it is "lose further TV coverage", not "loose further TV coverage". Loose means to release or untighten.
My late auntie had severe dyslexia as well. The number of times she caught the wrong bus home from work were numerous. Often ended up miles away until she realised.
I love and respect Jackie. There's no guile in him
One clarification regarding Rindt's accident. He didn't 'lose control' as the narrator said but instead had a right-front brake shaft failure which caused the car to turn hard-left into the barrier at high speed. Rindt didn't have time to react before the damage was done.
At 9:52 I can't believe you don't mention Stirling Moss being in the shot!
Just amazing how this sport has moved on, it’s a million miles on from where it used to be. Forgive any overstated pun!
They needed to look more on tire compound and suspension back then!!
RIP JIMMY YOU WERE THE BEST 🎉 MAN TO EVER TURN A WHEEL. NONE BEFORE OR AFTER HAVE EVER MATCHED YOUR SPEED OR YOUR CLASS AND STYLE. 👌
Rest easy Francois Cevert. I’ll see you soon
To me Jackie Stewart what’s the greatest racecar driver that ever lived because he went far more than just driving
Rest in Peace Ayrton.
Thank you for gifts.
When a biopic about those two gentlemen?
Chapman actually hid away from the world when Clark died.
And avowed that he would never get close to a driver again.
Rhindt, took the rear wing off the car and didn't use the one belt that would have saved his life.
He submarined and died from his injuries received in the accident, yes partially Chapman's fault.
He built them ultralight but some of the blame must go on Rhindt as well.
I've read about the accident and Rhindts life, how he was etc, but if is a big word even though it contains 2 letters.
We can put it in front of every major loss of life or singular loss of life, like the titanic, the hindenburg, tenerife jumbo jet accident.
Peterson's accident at Monza was not caused by his car, but the fragility of the Lotus chassis could not sustain the impact and Ronnie sustained severe injuries to his legs which ultimately led to his death.
Rest in peace racing legends
Although desperately sad when it happened, indeed I myself shed tears when it was announced, but when Jules Bianchi died in July 2015, 9 months after an appalling accident in Japan in 2014, when the car he was driving aquaplaned off the track and crashed into a recovery vehicle that was removing another car that crashed the previous lap at the same place, it was in a way reassuring that it had been 2 decades since a driver of an F1 cara had died in or as a result of a crash in a Grand Prix
‘No matter what I drive, I’ll never drive a Lotus.’ Wow
I'll never forget what's his name.
Yeah, "Good old what's his name!"
I wish I was alive in those times
Yes motorsport is a dangerous workplace, but thankfully due to the likes of Jackie Stewart and the tragic deaths of the many not just in F1 but the other disciplines it's no longer a suicide pact
Side note, he looks like George Washington. I’m glad his disability didn’t stop him for being great.
hahaha **slow clap**
I was like a dyslexic race driver? I guess as long as he always turns the right way...
11:50 yes the same racetrack....yadayada....but it was a F2 car, not an F1. That crash was not the fault of the track, most likely the car broke and Lotus quickly recovered the wreck....
@20:29 Who is that giant that is being driven by the driver?
It’s not that the guy in the back is big. The cockpit of the Lotus 49 was deeply recessed, so you sunk deep into it, with barely your head poking out of the top.
@@CaddynarsWhat are you talking about? Did you even watch the clip?? The man is at least 2x the mass of the driver sitting right there; With all due respect what tf are you talking about? Your explanation makes 0 sense... watch the clip bud.
@@juliolua2104 He looks big because he’s sitting cross legged. I was wrong about the car. It’s the Brabham BT24. That’s Jack Brabham sitting on the back of it.
@@Caddynars Cross legged in a racing car? 😂 and why is there 2 people in a dam racing car? I'd put 1 guy in there and only like a 6 ft limit... that 2nd guy is at least 7 foot giant if the guy in front is regular sized 💪😎🧠👈😃😉
@@juliolua2104 If I recall, Brabham wrecked his car, so Denny Hulme, driver of the number two Brabham, gave him a ride.
The Reno Air Race was safer, I expect.
There were so many great British drivers in that era.
'artton' senna?
If you look at even the basic history of getting seatbelt into road cars, you see how difficult it is to convince people that safety is important. In F1 you had racers even in the 90s, 00s saying to make it "safe" was to ruin the sport and yet many of those same people were of course later saved by innovations in safety because drivers, inventors, doctors, families said that's not good enough and kept saying it so that even the most hard headed could come home at night. Watching a racer die on live tv is not what fans want,they want to see these guys cross the finish line and they really owe Jackie a lot for pushing for change..
It was just a totally different time back then. It's not that people today value life more (far from it), it's just that they're more afraid of death. But you can't compare today's drivers to those of old. They were just totally different men back then, and their accomplishments are of a fundamentally different character.
Ayrton was killed by the negligent alteration of the steering column using a bit of very thin tubing that broke on hte entry to th ecorner he slammed into at near full speed.
we need a laughing emoji
he lost control over the bump at tamburello - it was his fault, not the teams - the telemetry showed that his steering was working perfectly up until he hit the wall
@@nelsonschumacher7956 video shows his wheels didn't follow the steering wheel.
plus his team boss stole the telemetry ...
@nelsonschumacher7956 sadly that is not how it happened. A full mechanical failure of the amended (pre weeekend) steering column, caused Ayrton's death.
The steering column failed, he tried to turn his car and it was also shown he was braking hard, prior to the crash. You can see the wheels failing to turn despite every effort by Ayrton.
Williams did take the "black boxes" prior to the actual enquiry. They were eventually found culpable in the loss of Ayrton Senna.
Saying all that though, had Roland Ratzenburger been pronounced dead at the track the day before, Ayrton would not have crashed. That race should never have gone ahead. It should have been red flagged.
That all being said, Sir Jackie Stewart will always remain a legend and a gentleman.
Rest easy all racing drivers, lost way before their time.
Legends never die.
@@Ann-vc1py Jackie Stewart is still alaive at 84!
@@rosewhite--- thanks for reminding me, I was getting all emotional about Ayrton and got carried away!
Wishing you a Happy New Year. X
Dont forget Airton Senna and Jose Carlos Pace
Funny that the guy who always finished second comes off as second place here, too.
If it was made safe and nobody ever died then we would all be formula 1 racing drivers.
Unfortunately it’s part of the excitement, just like downhill skiing, we only watch to see who falls
I remember this era vividly JS s accident were he was lying fuel all around no spanner to undo steering wheel and. reading motor sport mag which at the time was anti Stewart and in supportt of .Dennis Jenkinson. calling Stewart the beady eyed scot and thinking yeh!! whats the matter.But he was right and i admire Stewart for sticking with his campaign that helped saved lives even today
Jochen is right, when you take away all the dangerous aspects it’s not that appealing
Anyone who goes to a motor race to see a crash is there for the wrong reason, they are unwelcome fans in my opinion. A true fan of the sport goes there to see who finishes, and in what position. Then they have got value for money.
Roland Ratzenberger lost his life the day before Senna 😢
I can see both sides and its great to improve the safety of all concerned "BUT" the massive multi coloured run off areas that abound these days are pathetic.
it's not good to watch on TV. why not just green or something less distracting?
wonderfull... just could not watch it.. an ad every 2 minutes.... no thank you.
