Stewart and Fittipaldi relive their battles
Four decades after their famous 1973 title fight, AUTOSPORT brought Sir Jackie Stewart and Emerson Fittipaldi together to relive that contest and other memories of the era
In the early 1970s, Jackie Stewart and Emerson Fittipaldi were on top of the world, winning two world championships apiece.
When AUTOSPORT reunited the pair during the 2011 Brazilian Grand Prix weekend for a special feature in an issue celebrating Stewart's career, it was almost four decades on from when they occupied first and second positions at Interlagos.
