Top 5 British F1 Drivers of all time

#2 Sir Jackie Stewart

Sir Jackie Stewart

Sir Jackie Stewart is one of the best drivers ever produced from Great Britain.

He is the second most successful driver in British motorsport, just behind current world champion Lewis Hamilton.

He is a three time world champion, more than any other fellow Briton accept for Hamilton.

Let's keep going with his stats shall we, 27 race wins, 43 times finishing on the podium and 17 pole positions.

It is stats and figures like that that cannot be unrecognised.

Stewart won his three world championships in 1969, 1971 and 1973 in which he never defended his title but consistently battled at the top.

But after retiring from motor racing, Stewart worked in different departments including his ambition to make racing safer for current and future generations.

The 79-year-old campaigned for better medical facilities and track improvements at motor racing circuits.

The guy has made a big difference to F1 both on and off the track.
