Sir Jackie Stewart

THREE MONACO VICTORIES

“Monaco is about mind management. You mustn’t get wound up and overdrive it. These days they can run over the kerbs, take more liberties. In my day if you did that you’d break the suspension. Jim Clark never won it because the Lotus was too fragile. Part of what makes Monaco so special is the proximity of the spectators. They are so close to the cars, unlike anywhere else. The grand prix is Formula 1’s jewel in the crown and if I hadn’t won it there would be something sadly missing from my career. Standing on the podium in the principality is a very special moment.”
