Jackie Stewart: “Monaco is always the crown jewel of F1”
On the occasion of the Monaco Grand Prix, the legend Jackie Stewart has granted us a few words about this legendary race and talks about his best memory in the Principality.
The triple Formula 1 world champion Jackie Stewart did not hesitate to answer our questions when it came to discussing his memories in Monaco.
What does the Grand Prix of Monaco represent to you?
« It is always, I think, the crown of Formula 1 for me because of the glamour, because of the Principality, because of the history, and because it is a street circuit. It remains a great attraction. Prince Albert is doing an excellent job for the Grand Prix today, just like his parents did before him. »
What is your best memory on this track?
I have a special connection with this track because it’s here that I won my first race outside of Great Britain. It was in Formula 3 and it was my very first time. I believe I also won three Grand Prix in F1 there (in 1966 with BRM and then in 1971 and 1973 with Tyrrell).
