"even though his rain tires were probably better than the ones of the competition." I don't know I believe it was Dunlop tire while as far as remember Lotus and Ferrari were using Firestone. What were Mclaren and Brabham using ? Ericd 23:40, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

Should there be a mention that he "cameos" in the music video for the Robbie Williams song "Supreme"? (Specifically, footage of Jackie from the 1970s is spliced with footage of Robbie, to make it look like they were both 1970s racing drivers). --Athcnv 20:25, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

• No. Otherwise you're going to have to start listing every mention of Stewart in popular media. Halmyre 07:46, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Slow down!

What the devil was McLaren doing testing an F3 car?

Just part of his job as a works Cooper driver. DH85868993 13:00, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Also, is it correct "It is a testament to his success that fewer drivers have been killed in the period since his retirement than in a single season before him."? Trekphiler 21:11, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

List of Formula One fatal accidents identifies 11 drivers who have been killed in F1 cars since Stewart's retirement. Off the top of my head, I can't think of an individual season before Stewart's retirement in which more than 11 F1 drivers were killed, so it's possibly a bit of a stretch.

[edit] Degree

He was awarded an honourary degree from University of Edinburgh in 2006, is this ok to add? Or is it not that notable? James (talk) 12:45, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nationality

Should Jackie's nationality be listed as British or Scottish? Krashski35 (talk) 13:21, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Nationality of F1 drivers has been standardised as the nationality of their racing licence, so JYS is listed as British. The lead makes clear that he is Scottish. -- Ian Dalziel (talk) 13:24, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
