Hello there,
Does anyone know how I can contact Sir Jackie Stewart via either snail mail or email?
I've been searching for a way to contact the great man with no success.
Thanks
Sir Jackie Stewart

Fly to Geneva airport. Hire a car and just follow the Armco barrier from the airport to his house.

Or if that fails, try writing to him care of the British Racing Drivers' Club at Silverstone, asking them to forward the letter. This they will do.

That is an old one! Think that I first heard it in the early seventies, and many times thereafter. Of course, that does nothing to lessen the humor involved, as I always thought that it was one of the great bon mots of racing. Which raises the point, who first said it?Fly to Geneva airport. Hire a car and just follow the Armco barrier from the airport to his house.

Not wanting to spoil the fun, but I don't think he is living in Switzerland anymore. The BRDC way, as Doug said, works though.

He lives a LOT closer to the BRDC at Silverstone than Switzerland these days....

Indeed, because Phil Collins was the next owner of JYS' old Geneva home, and even he doesn't live there any more!

Begnins, I think it was - and Jochen Rindt used to live not far away. From what I've heard, quite a few Grand Prix drivers had houses in the little villages around Lac Léman back in the late sixties, early seventies.

I think the best way to contact him is c/o British Airways (or whatever his airline of preference is). He must have enough AirMiles for a trip to the moon and back...

Surely a warning to him to slow down a bit? Take a well-earned retirement...

Jackie was my idol growing up. 27 Grand Prix wins in 99 races. The day I got to meet him in person was a great thrill.
I wouldn't be the F1 fan I am today without Sir Stewart. God speed.

I had the priveledge of being driven around Boreham race track by him once, it was a sublime demonstration of safe, super-fast driving.

Stewart's spokesman: "Sir Jackie is fully conscious and having precautionary medical checks but we are expecting a full recovery."
Amen to that. Get well soon JYS.

Good to hear he's on the up and up.
My Dad's favorite driver(and fellow countryman), while watching F1 in the early 80's together he would tell stories of the Flying Scotsman Jackie Stewart.
He never really followed any other drivers, and lost interest a long time ago, but his stories are what sparked my love for F1 in the first place.
Get well soon, Jackie.
