This week's magazine is a JYS special!

Is three-time world champion Sir Jackie Stewart the most influential world champion in Formula 1 history? There's certainly a strong case to be made for such an assertion. His tireless - and, at the time, unpopular - campaign to improve safety almost certainly saved the lives of drivers, officials and spectators.

And that's before you factor in his 27 wins, 17 pole positions, 15 fastest laps, 360 points and three titles from just 99 starts.

In the third of our tributes to British F1 legends - edited by 13-time grand prix winner David Coulthard - Paul Fearnley examines what might have been the impact on the sport had Stewart followed his other passion, shooting - a discipline at which he was good enough to represent his country at Olympic level.

We also relive Stewart's rivalry with Brazilian hero Emerson Fittipaldi, with whom he fought for the title in his final year, 1973. Edd Straw talks to both men about their fights and enduring friendship.

Finally, we go under the skin of the Matra MS80, the car in which JYS took the first of his three titles in 1969.
