I went out today and bought 'Winning is not enough' by Jackie Stewart.  Included in the book is a DVD and it gives a link to some extra chapters which can be accessed at www.viewvibe.com

It is an hour long video of the most important parts of his life.  Most of the chapters any of us could have identified.  Dyslexia, shooting, Ken Tyrrell, safety, friends who died, business after racing etc  There are a few given over to glorified name dropping including a couple of royals but generally it is all good if well known stuff.  I must check the web based stuff then start the book.

I love the section with JYS & Ken Tyrrell sitting in a shed in Tyrrell's woodyard. They talk about how the Tyrrell 001 was originally mocked up in that shed. They discuss testing their first airbox by hooking it to the car with bungee cords.

And they won both the Drivers and Constructors championships. Amazing.
