Sir John Young 'Jackie' Stewart, OBE (born 11 June 1939) is a Scottish former racing driver. Nicknamed the 'Flying Scot', he competed in Formula One between 1965 and 1973, winning three World Drivers' Championships. He also competed in Can-Am. He is well known in the United States as a color commentator (pundit) of racing television broadcasts, and as a spokesman for Ford, where his Scottish accent has made him a distinctive presence. Between 1997 and 1999, in partnership with his son, Paul, he was team principal of the Stewart Grand Prix Formula One racing team. In 2009 he was ranked fifth of the fifty greatest Formula One drivers of all time by journalist Kevin Eason who wrote: "He has not only emerged as a great driver, but one of the greatest figures of motor racing."
Stewart's family were Austin, later Jaguar, car dealers and had built up a successful business, Dumbuck Garage, in Milton, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland where Stewart was born and was educated at Dumbarton Academy. His father had been an amateurmotorcycle racer, and his brother Jimmy was a racing driver with a growing local reputation who drove for Ecurie Ecosse and competed in the 1953 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, until he went off at Copse Corner in the wet.

Genres: Action, Drama,He said he needed a little time
Just to decide what he was looking for
And that was two years ago last July
I thought the pain would last forevermore
I'd almost given up all trace of hope
Sworn I was destined for solitude
But then I met you that fateful night
Oh, the words you whispered made me feel renewed
You said that we met for a reason
And your love would be my sanctity
Our time together had just begun
And you'd be here for eternity
You spoke of things that I only dreamt
Sweet words like exquisite poetry
They said, "I am why you were sent"
And you'd be here for eternity
We shared so many wondrous moments
Like when you asked me to be your wife
I still recall your true sentiments
And those spellbinding words that made me cry
You said that we met for a reason
And your love would be my sanctity
Our time together had just begunAnd you'd be here for
eternity
You spoke of things that I only dreamt
Sweet words like exquisite poetry
They said, "I am why you were sent"
And you'd be here for eternity
Then the tragic day came
My world would not be the same
You gazed at me from the bed
And spoke your last words as tears were shed
You said that we met for a reason
And your love would be my sanctity
Our time together had just begun
And you'd be here for eternity
You spoke of things that I only dreamt
Sweet words like exquisite poetry
They said, "I am why you were sent"
