Jackie Stewart At Grand Prix Of South Africa
Jackie Stewart won his third world championship in 1973

The Flying Scot's win from the 16th place in the 1973 South African Grand Prix was one of the defining moments of the three-time world champion's career.

Following a crash during the practice session and a brake failure, Jackie Stewart only managed to start the race from the seventh row.

However, a superb drive from the Briton ensured that he would take the lead within the first eight laps. Other drivers posed little threat to Stewart, who marched comfortably towards his first win of the season. He would go to win the 1973 world championship before announcing his retirement at the end of the season.
