Three decades after retiring as a driver, Jackie Stewart's life still moves at a breakneck pace - as Damien Smith discovered when he sat down for a chat about the Scot's new autobiography
I'm late. Jackie Stewart hates it when people are late. He says so in his book.
It's the Thursday before the Brazilian Grand Prix, and I'm on a train heading into London to meet Sir Jackie on a bus. Not a red double-decker, you understand. I bet it's been a good few years since the three-times world champion has been on one of those.
No, this is his tour bus. Very rock n' roll. He's promoting his autobiography (read an excerpt from it in this issue), and being Sir Jackie Stewart, he's not doing it by halves. For over a week he will travel across Britain to attend book signings and functions to guarantee as many people as possible are aware he is telling his life story.
