Jackie Stewart receives Autosport's Gold Medal

Three-time Formula 1 world champion Sir Jackie Stewart received the 2023 Autosport Gold Medal incorporating the Gregor Grant Award at the Autosport Awards in London.

The accolade, launched in 2021 and previously won by Jean Todt and Roger Penske, recognises an individual who has given a lifetime of service to the sport and who leaves a lasting legacy for future generations.

As well as his success on-track, which included 27 world championship grand prix wins in BRM, Matra, March and Tyrrell machinery, Stewart led the push for better safety in motorsport in the 1960s and 1970s. He also co-founded the Stewart Grand Prix team that, after a spell as Jaguar, became Red Bull.

The 84-year-old received his Gold Medal at the Autosport Awards at Grosvenor House on Park Lane on 3 December.
