Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,520
My school days
were the worst part of my life.
2
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,760
"You stupid boy, you're stupid,
dumb and thick. Sit down."
3
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,480
So, school, for me...
I was a complete disaster.
4
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,920
So, therefore... you're a...
you're a desperate person to win,
5
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,880
because you've failed
so much in normal life.
6
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,600
That when you find something
you've got to do,
7
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,480
you do it with much more focus,
much more commitment, much more
8
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,000
just ambition.
9
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,080
You know, your early life, I think,
10
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,600
has a lot to do
with how you develop.
11
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,720
- Jackie!
- Jackie!
12
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,040
- Jackie!
- Jackie, come over!
13
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:35,920
I mean, my early life
was such an aggravation
14
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,400
because of my school problems.
15
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:45,040
The only benefit I think was
16
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,800
that I couldn't do the things
that other people did...
17
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:55,320
So there's no alternative
but to try and do it another way.
18
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,440
There is a Chinese curse which says,
"May he live in interesting times."
19
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,840
Like it or not,
we live in interesting times.
20
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,360
They are times
of danger and uncertainty,
21
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,920
but they are also the most creative
of any in the history of mankind.
22
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,200
This year's Formula 1
World Championship
23
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,840
will be contested in 11 races
on three continents.
24
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,640
And there is Jackie Stewart,
the young Scotsman,
25
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,720
a rising star in the sport
and a 1969 championship contender.
26
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,640
The swinging 1960s
were a fantastic time.
27
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,600
I had just started marriage,
I had just started motor racing,
28
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,760
and my career
was going like a rocket ship.
29
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,960
But the sport
was incredibly dangerous.
30
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,360
And here the most disastrous sight
that you can see on any
31
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,120
Clark had been killed instantly
32
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,800
as his car careered off the track
at over 150 mph
33
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,760
Jackie Stewart has broken
his collarbone and several ribs,
34
00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:19,040
And Helen Stewart is by his side.
35
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,760
Stewart is pulling ahead
in the 1969 season so far.
36
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,560
Does he have what it takes?
Can he become World Champion?
37
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,520
I was brought up on the River Clyde,
38
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,760
just about 12 miles from Glasgow.
39
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,400
Mother and father did well,
both of them worked in the garage.
40
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,640
Jackie was a very, very nervous boy.
41
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:08,480
He was very thin, and I think
he suffered in his early youth,
42
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,240
a wee bit
from an inferiority complex.
43
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,400
Why? I don't know.
44
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,120
And due to his lack of stature,
45
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,480
he didn't like school.
He just hated it.
46
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,800
We all enjoy the works
of Robert Louis Stevenson...
47
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,440
At that time,
there was 54 of us in that class.
48
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,080
But your reading skills
are poor to middling...
49
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,240
And when that teacher would have
50
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:46,160
each and every one of us to stand up
and read something out of a book.
51
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:48,920
I couldn't do it.
52
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,680
Just a mass of letters and words
that you can't understand...
53
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,080
Particularly MacDonald,
Stewart and Lindsay...
54
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,440
It's a feeling of panic,
it's just a jungle...
55
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,360
And I just thought I was stupid.
56
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,760
And I was told I was stupid,
dumb or thick, or all three.
57
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,440
And that hurt. Badly.
58
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,480
I left school at 15
with no education.
59
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,600
You know,
at least my family had a garage.
60
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:36,720
And that was where I went to work.
61
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,000
I was preparing cars for customers,
62
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,760
and one of them
was a quite well-off customer.
63
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,400
And as a little reward,
he gave me the chance to drive
64
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,400
in a very small event in Scotland,
65
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,120
which I finished second.
66
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,600
He said, "Oh, well,
you should do the next one."
67
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,000
And I won the next one.
68
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,000
Four different cars
and four wins this weekend
69
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,360
for the young Scotsman
Jackie Stewart,
70
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,200
and team owner Ken Tyrrell
is already taking an interest.
71
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,920
In the early 1960s we were always
looking for new young talent.
72
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,400
And so I invited Jackie down
for a test drive at Good wood.
73
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,160
And Jackie got in the car,
74
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,120
not having driven
a single-seater of any sort before,
75
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,920
and in five laps he had gone quicker
than Bruce McLaren had been.
76
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,240
And I think from then on,
we knew that Jackie had arrived.
77
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,600
And Jackie Stewart wins
the 1966 Grand Prix of Monaco,
78
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,000
driving for BRM.
79
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,760
And a superb victory
for the young Scotsman,
80
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,200
seen here with his wife Helen.
81
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,520
Helen, when you first met Jackie,
82
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,000
were you interested in cars at all?
83
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,200
No! Not at all!
84
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,600
I just wasn't the slightest bit
interested, even watching.
85
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,160
What, so did you...
did you rebel at all?
86
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,640
Yeah, I did rebel a bit
and it didn't work.
87
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,920
It didn't work at all!
88
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,040
Now Jackie Stewart's office
is the cockpit
89
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,520
of his French-built
Matra racing car.
90
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,080
1969 is only Matra's second season.
91
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,880
How can they compete with teams like
BRM, Ferrari and Lotus?
92
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,560
Here's team leader Ken Tyrrell.
93
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,200
I think we have
an advantage over them,
94
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,320
because being a small outfit,
95
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,480
we're not involved with the politics
large companies get involved in.
96
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,360
Our aim is to win motor races
and we can concentrate on that.
97
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,560
Welcome to Silver stone
for the British Grand Prix of 1969,
98
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,040
and a full house today
in the grandstands...
99
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,200
Today's grid includes
world champions Denny Hulme,
100
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,120
Jack Brabham, John Surtees,
101
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,760
Graham Hill,
and top team drivers Jochen Rindt,
102
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,600
Bruce McLaren,
Jacky Ickx, Chris Amon,
103
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:37,720
Piers Courage and Jackie Stewart.
104
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,880
I always wanted to
be good at something.
105
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,720
It might be that I want to be better
than other people. I don't know.
106
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,480
I remember that from early age
107
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:51,920
that I wanted to succeed
and do things well.
108
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,280
And this hasn't changed at all.
I really desperately want success.
109
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,560
It's been a hard-fought season,
and Stewart now has four wins,
110
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,920
but Lotus-driver Jochen Rindt
was faster in practice
111
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,560
and is on pole position...
112
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,280
You're leading the championship.
Are you feeling pressure?
113
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:15,240
I try to remove pressure
and not to get overexcited.
114
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,320
I had to consciously
remove all of my emotions.
115
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,000
- No panic.
- Three minutes!
116
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,880
I was completely neutral.
117
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:35,120
And by the time of the race,
I'm completely and utterly calm.
118
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,840
I am absolutely ice-cold neutral.
119
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,960
This is where your advantage lies:
In your calmness.
120
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:08,320
Rindt putting on a tremendous show,
121
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,240
not being rattled by
the masterful Stewart behind him...
122
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:18,120
Some people believe they've got to
think of themselves as the best
123
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,480
in order to succeed.
And that they're gonna win.
124
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,080
I never, ever thought that.
125
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,520
The people I raced against,
126
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,600
I was always surprised that I went
as fast or faster than them.
127
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,320
He's got to catch up
to make contact again with Rindt.
128
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,640
So there's nothing for it
129
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,120
but to belt after him,
just as hard as the Matra will go.
130
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,800
I was always thinking
everybody else is better than me.
131
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,040
And he's right up with him there,
he's gonna try and take him!
132
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,640
Stewart's back in the lead...
133
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,000
And I've always thought that.
134
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,400
Stewart's back in the lead again.
135
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,080
And Stewart now...
136
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,880
Rindt's coming in,
he's in trouble.
137
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,800
Jochen Rindt's in trouble.
He's coming into the pits.
138
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,800
Jackie, five wins out of six
and five more to go...
139
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,640
- How many more do you want to win?
- As many as possible, obviously.
140
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,440
It's very nice to have won so many
and I'm very thankful for this.
141
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,600
And I'd just like to win some more.
142
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,680
They had a tremendous show,
143
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,800
one of the best Grand Prix's
we've seen for a long time.
144
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,440
And a worthy winner,
145
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,200
and man's who's got 45 points
in the World Championship...
146
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,520
Sir Jackie Stewart,
it's wonderful to be here,
147
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,000
sitting next to your 1969 Matra.
148
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,480
I have to ask you:
Does it feel like 50 years ago?
149
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:05,040
Yes, in a way. I mean this car here
is so special to me.
150
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:11,800
I think as history goes by,
people have a desire to look back...
151
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,760
And lots of people do, because
the great old days were wonderful.
152
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,280
Hey, it's good to hug.
It's good to hug.
153
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,200
It's lights out and away we go,
154
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,480
Hamilton covers off his teammate,
Leclerc in third from Verstappen
155
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:29,800
I'm not one who thinks like that.
156
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,080
I think today
is better than yesterday,
157
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,640
and tomorrow
is going to be better than today.
158
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,840
And when I think back,
159
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,920
it's difficult for me to identify
the halcyon years of my life so far.
160
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,280
- Sir Jackie Stewart, OBE...
- I'm thinking they're still to come.
161
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,920
It is possible
that the World Championship of 1969
162
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,400
may be decided here today,
at the Monza Autodrome.
163
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,640
If Jackie Stewart
finishes fifth or better,
164
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,920
he will become World Champion.
165
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,920
Things were a little fraught.
People were getting a bit on edge.
166
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,920
But at the same time,
you've got to try and keep calm.
167
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,960
And to try and do that
is, really, very difficult.
168
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:31,120
Jochen Rindt, still desperately
chasing his first Grand Prix win,
169
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,720
in the very fast,
but temperamental, Lotus 49B,
170
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,320
designed of course
by team leader, Colin Chapman.
171
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,480
Tremendously experienced
Jackie Stewart,
172
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:01,360
who is almost literally
able to tune himself down
173
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,680
at the beginning of a race so that
he's drained himself of all emotion.
174
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,760
You know, the manners in the group
were really perfect.
175
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,400
And they're in our sight now,
in your sight now,
176
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,920
Rindt...
Rindt up into second place...
177
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,320
You had to be very sure what
everyone was doing
178
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,400
because you were
in very close company
179
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,400
literally inches apart
at some times.
180
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,440
Down to the Vialone, 185 mph,
181
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,040
four cars, virtually together.
Down to the Parabolica they come.
182
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,440
Can Stewart hold the line on this?
The last lap, someone's challenging,
183
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,160
it's Rindt going through,
Jochen Rindt takes the lead
184
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,440
in the Parabolica on the last
corner of the last lap...
185
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,400
It must be... it's,
it's over the line together,
186
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,480
and it's almost a dead heat.
187
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,360
It's Jackie Stewart, Rindt,
Beltoise and McLaren.
188
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,240
Jackie Stewart
won the Italian Grand Prix
189
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,760
from Jochen Rindt
by about half a car's length.
190
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,320
Nobody has ever seen the finish
of a motor race like this!
191
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,600
And this makes Jackie Stewart
unmistakably the world champion
192
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,000
of 1969.
193
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,680
He had to finish in fifth place
to be the world champion
194
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,880
and he has, in fact, won the race.
195
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,200
Just five years ago Stewart
was working at his parents' garage,
196
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,040
and he's now
Formula 1 champion of the world.
197
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,480
That was a dream.
198
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,280
I could never have dreamt
199
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,480
that it could have turned out
the way it did.
200
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,400
Oh, Jesus!
201
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,760
This was the start of realising
that I had become World Champion
202
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,800
and things
were gonna be different...
203
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,720
"Hail to King Jackie",
as just said in Sports Illustrated.
204
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,640
Will you welcome please,
Mr Jackie Stewart!
205
00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:38,600
Although he isn't
in the Cassius Clay league yet,
206
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,760
Jackie Stewart is racing with
characteristic dash to a new title,
207
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,680
one of the world's
richest sportsmen...
208
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,480
To have won the World Championship
was for us both...
209
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,800
We've come a long way.
I mean, but I think
210
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,600
I was terribly proud of him, but.
211
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,640
I think, to be part of it
was worth the drama
212
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,800
of going through all the races.
213
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,520
But he did it.
214
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,040
I worked hard
at being world champion.
215
00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:04,560
I did all the functions.
216
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,440
It's very easy for you
to be adversely affected
217
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,200
by being in the public eye.
218
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,960
We do The Today Show,
The New York Time, AP...
219
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,640
You get money, you get
all sorts of things thrown at you.
220
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,760
World Champion Jackie Stewart:
This is your life!
221
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,880
And if there is any
inherent weakness in your character,
222
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,680
it will find you out.
223
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:30,120
From the opening to the airport,
where I flew to New York and Mexico.
224
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,520
He needs to keep himself busy,
he's a workaholic.
225
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,920
I think it's a...
it's the pressure of life,
226
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,200
of what I've got to do.
It's not selfishness.
227
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,400
People that you were meeting,
there was such a kaleidoscope.
228
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,320
The Beatles,
The Stones, Frank Sinatra
229
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,840
Elizabeth Taylor came with us
to the Grand Prix in Monte Carlo...
230
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,360
There's been no time to absorb the
blur... We have no time to reflect.
231
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,120
I fly to Scotland to see my parents,
literally for 45 minutes,
232
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,080
and I get back
on the plane to London.
233
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,520
Don't you morally respond
to what's happening in the world?
234
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,960
I mean, I couldn't
point Vietnam out on the map,
235
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,360
never mind anything else.
236
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,480
I was being paid quite a lot.
And I had to deliver.
237
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,360
I've never prostituted myself,
and, really, I feel that...
238
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,720
Yeah but in that film there's a
scene with your hair being cut by.
239
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,760
They're trying to project the image
of a modern racing driver
240
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,840
for their purposes,
not for Jackie Stewart.
241
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,320
That is to allow them to do
with your existence as they please!
242
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,320
Yes, to a certain extent,
and they're paying me to do that.
243
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,480
- Oh, so you're willing to sell it?
- Yes.
244
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,240
You mean morality
and principles?
245
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,360
- No, no, no, look.
- I mean you're selling yourself.
246
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,760
- No!
- A film on the life of Stewart.
247
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,320
One of the most important aspects
of your life is your fucking hair?
248
00:20:12,360 --> 00:20:14,560
When we're walking down...
I told you about him,
249
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,000
the German commentator.
250
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,520
Every time
he comes in a more stupid outfit.
251
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:19,960
Okay?
252
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,960
Some people say the same about me!
253
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
All the way through my career
as a racing driver,
254
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,120
and the success I achieved in that,
255
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,640
I kept a secret.
256
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,240
I could neither read or write.
257
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,200
I could do my signature,
only because I practised,
258
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,800
time and time again.
259
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,720
I still can't
read or write correctly.
260
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,360
I can't do the alphabet,
I don't know the alphabet.
261
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,280
I faked it.
262
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:13,320
You find ways of avoiding
263
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,960
being faced with
having to write something
264
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,400
or having to read something...
265
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,080
You find different ways of
266
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,120
getting people to provide for you.
267
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,800
"What did you say again?
Just read that out to me."
268
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,520
No, I tell you, I was good at that.
269
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,880
- Jackie!
- Jackie!
270
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:52,200
With the 1970s fast approaching,
he's becoming an idol, a pop star.
271
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,680
Thanks very much!
272
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,480
And don't forget wife Helen.
273
00:21:58,360 --> 00:21:59,840
She's in on the act, too!
274
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,280
We were very much
the "in couple" at that time.
275
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:10,800
And it was nice to be trendy
and a woman of the time.
276
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,720
I feel I should look more
like a girlfriend than
277
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,120
a very staid wife!
278
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,320
So, what do you make
of the great hair debate?
279
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,760
Should he keep his hair long?
It's a great
280
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,880
point of conversation at the moment!
281
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,000
- And what do you think?
- Well, I encourage him to do it.
282
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,920
It's my fault he did it.
283
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,080
He's always enjoyed dressing well,
but when I first met Jackie,
284
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,520
he used to dress terribly.
285
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,560
He thought it was in good taste,
I thought it was old-fashioned.
286
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:55,560
- Are we leaving this plain, or...
- That's up to you, really.
287
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,800
But there's a serious side
to Stewart's image.
288
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,160
The former garage mechanic,
who left school at 15,
289
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,320
is now representing
several big companies,
290
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,680
as well as pushing his own brand.
291
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,160
His commercial activities may
just be a glimpse of the future
292
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,280
the sports star as millionaire?
293
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,200
Appearances, promotions,
and getting paid.
294
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,800
A long way up from the garage floor.
295
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:32,520
Every year Stewart earns about
£200,000 in low tax Swiss Francs,
296
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,160
making him the second highest paid
sportsman in Europe.
297
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,320
The highest? A bullfighter.
298
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,840
My tax rate in Britain was 93%,
299
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,720
so we moved to Switzerland.
300
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,800
I didn't want to leave Scotland,
but my tax people just said,
301
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,280
"Look, if anything were to
happen to you, you've got no capital
302
00:23:58,360 --> 00:24:01,560
sufficient to support Helen
and two children
303
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,400
if you were either
critically injured or killed."
304
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,600
And the same night, on Saturday,
I've got to fly back to London.
305
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,040
- How old are they now?
- Erm, Mark is two and a half.
306
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:20,280
And Paul is five on 29 October.
307
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:23,680
- Does he understand the risks?
- Oh no.
308
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,400
- Not at all.
- Not at all? You're certain of that?
309
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,240
Er, no, I can't be certain of it,
because er
310
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,560
I remember when Jochen had a crash,
311
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,240
in Barcelona, and
312
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,640
Paul saw the crash
on television.
313
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,920
And he says, you know...
"Uncle Jochen had a crash."
314
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,080
I said, "I know." He said,
"Uncle Jochen's got a sore head."
315
00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:53,120
I said, "Yeah." He said,
"He fell out his racing car."
316
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,800
He said,
"You be careful, won't you?
317
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,680
You won't
fall out your racing car?"
318
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,000
Welcome to the 1970
Formula 1 World Championship.
319
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,520
Motor racing was so unsafe then,
320
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,200
because whatever aspect of Formula 1
you looked at,
321
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,320
it was inherently dangerous.
322
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,320
I don't see my motor racing
as something very brave.
323
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,280
I mean, I'm not a brave man at all,
I'm sort of cowardly man.
324
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,840
Twice a year, when I left home
to go to Nürburgring
325
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,360
and I left to go to Spa,
326
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,360
I consciously questioned
whether I were coming back.
327
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:26,120
The cars were dangerous:
Virtually mobile petrol tanks
328
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,200
with an engine strapped on one side
and a driver on the other.
329
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,880
There were no fences or barriers,
330
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:41,640
no run-off areas. There was trees,
bushes, telegraph poles, the public
331
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,640
or barbed-wire fences
to keep the cattle
332
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,120
from going on the roads
or the track.
333
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,040
It was pathetic.
334
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,960
In recent years, there has been
a grim death toll: Jim Clark,
335
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,400
Bruce McLaren, Piers Courage...
336
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,240
And we were killing people
at that time, like ten-a-penny.
337
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,840
Ludovico Scarfiotti,
Lorenzo Bandini, Mike Spence...
338
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,560
So I took on with a venom
339
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:16,400
the issues of getting
better safety into motor sport,
340
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:17,920
in particular to Formula 1.
341
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,560
Jackie decided he was
going to do something about it
342
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,120
at a time when motor racing
343
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,720
was regarded as
a gigantically macho sport.
344
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,320
I mean, we closed Spa-Francorchamps
and the Nürburgring,
345
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,080
the two
great racetracks of the world.
346
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,600
The attitude then was,
"Who is this wimp Jackie Stewart
347
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,080
who's going round saying
motor racing ought to be safer?
348
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,800
If you don't like the heat,
get out of the kitchen."
349
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,400
I never used to think that anything
would ever happen to Jackie,
350
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,760
but now it's happened so many times.
351
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,200
I went straight on at the chicane
and jumped out of third gear.
352
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:21,240
- You know... you've got to...
- I realise now it could happen
353
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,640
I did it twice, I nearly went
straight on into the stadium.
354
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,560
I think he thought he was...
355
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,720
He reckoned that if you survived
five years, statistically,
356
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,080
if you did that, the chances are
you would be killed.
357
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:44,160
- There are reports of an accident...
- The attitude of the drivers was,
358
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,120
"Well, that's the way it is,
and we'll do it."
359
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,720
Confirmed that
Piers Courage, the 28-year old...
360
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,160
Because they wanted to race more
361
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,680
than they were worried about
being killed or maimed...
362
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,480
You know, I don't want to
be racing for ever, that's for sure.
363
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,120
I suppose one of these days
I'll have to think about stopping.
364
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,600
But I don't want to do it now.
I don't really want to stop.
365
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,360
Being in the public eye,
you're closely watched.
366
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,840
And some of those journalists
really want to dig deep.
367
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,320
Jackie Stewart,
New York City, April 12.
368
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:47,160
I'm always worried they'll find out
I can't read or write.
369
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,920
I don't read the papers
hardly at all.
370
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,560
I read the papers
of something that...
371
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,240
- Do you shy away from reading them?
- No, no.
372
00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:00,880
You know,
the last book I read was, was erm.
373
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,920
I used to read a lot of books.
I used to read them on aeroplanes.
374
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,680
Because when you spend
this much time in an aeroplane,
375
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,360
you... you have to read books...
376
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,680
But I was bluffing,
377
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,880
because I was frightened
that people would find out.
378
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,120
Jochen was the only man
who I really had to compete against.
379
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,000
He is great friends with Stewart,
but Rindt's Lotus...
380
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,720
He was the only man I had
real respect for as a racing driver.
381
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,600
I mean,
a really high, high respect for.
382
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,720
The Lotus was
the fastest car on the track.
383
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,040
Colin Chapman was a genius
at making things go fast,
384
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,880
but not always reliable.
385
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,920
And, frankly, not always safe.
386
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:09,040
But to get any sense
into Chapman's skull is impossible.
387
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,840
I have never trusted Lotus.
388
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,040
Is it a business relationship?
389
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,560
Yes, purely business.
390
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:26,680
Jochen had won the French, you see,
and the Dutch and Monte Carlo.
391
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,080
I'm not all out of step,
quite frankly.
392
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,200
I've seen my world championship
and I've seen it going away,
393
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,640
but I know
there's nothing I can do about it.
394
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,480
I do want it again, but I know
I can't do it in 1970 because
395
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,440
you know,
the Lotus is just too good.
396
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,040
Jochen is
a very, very talented driver
397
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,480
who I enjoy racing with very much.
398
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,760
We are next door neighbours,
we are 300 yards apart.
399
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,240
Helen and Nina
are very good friends,
400
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,880
spend a lot of time together.
Our children play together.
401
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:16,040
Nina's my best friend in racing.
We love doing things together.
402
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,840
And she lives just up the road...
403
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,080
She's a lovely lady. Very beautiful.
404
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,000
All the men run after her.
405
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:33,200
Jochen's a tough guy... a hard man,
but a very deep and good friend.
406
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,440
Switzerland is a safe haven
for the Stewart family.
407
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,160
But how does Mrs Stewart feel about
her husband's material success?
408
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,760
Material things don't mean
as much to me as at the beginning.
409
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,600
I thought it would be marvellous
to have everything.
410
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,240
But now when you can have all,
411
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,160
it just makes you appreciate
the little things in life,
412
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,760
like being with the children,
and Jackie and I being together.
413
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,880
I think it's made us appreciate
just what we do have.
414
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,760
The best days of my life
have been with my children.
415
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,320
And still are.
416
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,800
I get this tremendous feeling of
417
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,280
pleasure with the children
and Helen.
418
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,160
This is, I think,
why to Helen and I,
419
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,240
we're in a honeymoon.
We really are.
420
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,200
We're
terribly in love with each other.
421
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,520
Do the two of you know
where you're going?
422
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,960
I don't know where we're going.
It's not a real life. I mean...
423
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,760
You know, it's a storybook life.
424
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,600
It's not a life
that will last forever.
425
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,960
Were you on the racetrack
when he had his accident at Spa?
426
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,200
- Were you there at the time?
- In '66? Yes.
427
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,760
After that race, I dreamt of people
putting their heads into fire...
428
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,160
- Their hands?
- Heads.
429
00:34:37,240 --> 00:34:39,680
Just lying in fire,
ah, it was horrible.
430
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,680
- And have those left you now?
- Oh yes.
431
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,160
But at that time
I lost over a stone in weight.
432
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,000
And I'm not, sort of,
overweight as it is,
433
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,400
so you can imagine
what I looked like.
434
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,800
Paul? What are you gonna be
when you grow up? Do you know?
435
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,240
- Fireman.
- A what?
436
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,320
- Fireman.
- A fireman?
437
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,480
- That's what you wanna be?
- Yes.
438
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,280
- You're sure? Good.
- Yes.
439
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:26,080
If you recently arrived,
440
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:30,680
welcome to Monza
and the 1970 Grand Prix of Italy.
441
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,640
This afternoon's practice session...
442
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,880
The Italians are incredible.
They follow you all everywhere...
443
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,440
An incredible crowd scene, always.
444
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,200
Obviously,
you've gotta sign autographs,
445
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,280
certainly some of them,
you can't sign them all.
446
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:06,680
You seem to go through as if you're
the bull going into the arena,
447
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,600
you're not the bullfighter,
you're the bull
448
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,000
and they're
really pleased to see you.
449
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,080
You're a bigger favourite
than the matador.
450
00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:18,320
Jochen Rindt is
our current championship leader,
451
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,080
and his wife Nina
is also with us this weekend,
452
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,800
so a proper family affair
here at Monza.
453
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,560
As a wife, you're in the pits
454
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,000
and you don't see very much of
what's happening on the circuit.
455
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,120
Practice is now in full swing.
456
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:40,480
And we have 27 cars competing
for 20 places on tomorrow's grid.
457
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:57,680
Ken came over to me, and he says,
"Jochen's had an accident."
458
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,680
Then Jackie came to me,
who was supporting me...
459
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,400
And I still not realising at all
what was happening.
460
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:34,120
Nina was gonna go to the ambulance.
And somebody came over to us,
461
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:37,320
and said to her,
"You mustn't go there."
462
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:44,080
And one of the men told me
that Jochen had died.
463
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,280
First of all,
I think Jochen was perhaps
464
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,600
my greatest friend in motor racing.
465
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,440
He was a truly great driver and...
466
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,360
This is an important announcement:
467
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,600
The track has now re-opened.
Practice will go on for some time,
468
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:17,680
finishing at 6:30pm -
that's half-past six local time.
469
00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:23,280
Ken said, "Right, get in the car.
Hurry up. You better go quick,
470
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,800
Before this session stops,
you've only got ten minutes or so."
471
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,320
My mechanics belted me in.
472
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,320
And then I just started to cry.
473
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:50,760
And I did four laps.
474
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,440
And on my last lap,
475
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,640
I did the fastest time
that I had done ever around Monza.
476
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,560
- What's your state at this point?
- I just can't understand it.
477
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,040
It's absolutely beyond me.
I mean, I can't understand
478
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,000
how he could do his fastest lap
feeling like that.
479
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,400
I think it must have been
480
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,320
the worst day of my life.
481
00:39:58,600 --> 00:39:59,920
You see,
482
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,040
motor racing is stupid when I see
483
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:09,720
the hurt and the sadness and the
484
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,160
pain that it causes
to people that I know.
485
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,480
So many memories
and thinking of Jochen.
486
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,840
What Jochen wanted to be
and what he wanted to do.
487
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,360
What he most wanted to be
was world champion.
488
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,160
Which he never knew or he never
489
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,840
could live long enough to know
that he would be world champion.
490
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,320
Jackie and Helen has been fantastic,
both of them.
491
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,920
I'm very, very grateful,
and I love them both for it.
492
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,760
It's not easy
for a racing driver's wife.
493
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,560
It's not what it seems.
There's a lot behind the scenes.
494
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,240
Whether it's one's feelings
or what you're thinking.
495
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:23,960
It sounds, seems
and looks glamorous,
496
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,360
but, in fact,
it's just another business.
497
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,360
It's a serious business.
498
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,200
Drivers and Formula 1 management
499
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,640
are assembling on the grid
for a special gathering.
500
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,840
The tartan is out for F1 legend,
Sir Jackie Stewart,
501
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,880
celebrating his 80th birthday.
502
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,600
Nobody or nothing is irreplaceable.
503
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,000
Unfortunately, that's the truth.
504
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,560
When we saw Jim Clark's death,
505
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,520
we thought
it would never be the same.
506
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,000
When we saw
the death of Ayrton Senna,
507
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:15,880
we thought
it will never be the same.
508
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:19,480
It is the same.
509
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:22,720
Life goes on.
510
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,960
When François Cevert came along,
he was different.
511
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,160
I actually saw this young driver
512
00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:09,160
who had clear talent
but had an enormous
513
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,560
appetite to learn.
514
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:20,640
And an enormous amount of energy
to want to deliver.
515
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:26,960
But he was almost too good-looking
to be a racing driver. Oof!
516
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,040
You know, why would you want
somebody like that?
517
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,840
"Can he be a serious
racing driver looking like this?"
518
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,960
You say first round the hairpin,
first on the left of the hairpin?
519
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,320
I told François everything.
520
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:06,040
He knew more than any other teammate
would ever know.
521
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,720
Everybody's listening. Helmut!
522
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,000
All my secrets, Helmut!
523
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,040
And Jackie's so good
524
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:21,680
in analysing the car.
He reads the car so well.
525
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:23,680
But, when the flag drops,
526
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:28,720
He always has
a very easy car to drive.
527
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,720
He doesn't have to
fight with his car
528
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,440
because the car doesn't
go around the corner well.
529
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,920
He always manages to fix his car
so it will be very easy to drive.
530
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,200
Last year you were even less nervous
531
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,480
- before the race...
- Yeah, that's right.
532
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:51,440
You were quite relaxed last year.
533
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,160
As I say again,
Jackie is the one that affects me.
534
00:44:55,240 --> 00:44:57,240
He is nervous this morning.
I can feel it.
535
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,320
I saw a report
in one of the newspapers last week.
536
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,440
It was sort of
Jackie's life with me.
537
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:05,880
And at the bottom of it
538
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,880
were five of our closest friends
who had been killed.
539
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,680
And I suddenly realised
that these five people
540
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,240
are the closest people
we've ever come to in racing.
541
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,360
And there's nobody left in racing
as far as we're concerned.
542
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,320
A beautiful start by Stewart...
543
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,680
Are you worried by her ability
544
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,840
- to contain all of this?
- No, not at all.
545
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,360
No, what I mean is, you know,
546
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,560
I suppose it's possible
she is storing all of this stuff up
547
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,720
- and it may some time come out.
- It might do,
548
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,480
but she's got
a tremendous strength of character.
549
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,160
I think she's stronger than I am.
550
00:45:51,240 --> 00:45:54,720
- She's much stronger than I am.
- How is she stronger than you are?
551
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,600
She sees
the important things in life
552
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,400
and sometimes...
I respect her for it,
553
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,400
she doesn't let her feelings
automatically rumble out.
554
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,640
So you respect her
the same way you respect yourself?
555
00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:09,520
I think Jackie was happy
I was like that
556
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:13,360
because if I was, you know, crying
every five minutes like some girls,
557
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,880
which I understand...
But you must be strong for Jackie.
558
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,360
Here he comes, the flag is ready.
559
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,880
Jackie Stewart wins
the Monaco Grand Prix for Tyrrell.
560
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,760
I believe in good luck.
You need good luck.
561
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,040
Everybody does,
but I don't believe in bad luck.
562
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:48,720
If you have continuous bad luck,
you're not just an unlucky person.
563
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,360
You've got it wrong.
You're doing it wrongly,
564
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,000
and you've must recognise that.
565
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:00,720
Would you gamble at all?
566
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,600
In Monte Carlo, I go to the casino.
Maybe the night after the race.
567
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:09,640
And you know,
all I gamble is 25 dollars.
568
00:47:09,720 --> 00:47:11,240
- 25 dollars?
- That's all.
569
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:13,720
- You cheap son of a bitch.
- Yes!
570
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,000
- You really are cheap?
- When it comes to betting,
571
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,400
I wouldn't put money
on what I didn't understand.
572
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,720
- You tight-arsed son of a bitch!
- You're absolutely right, I am.
573
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,920
Why would I want to put my money
on something I don't understand?
574
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:34,920
The problem is, Roger,
575
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:39,040
when I'm all...
I've got in my mind a certain
576
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:41,520
attitude towards the car.
577
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,280
It's jumping out of gear
578
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,680
and it's hard to get in,
and then the whole thing goes...
579
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,560
It's a mechanical happening,
you know,
580
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,640
it builds up and builds up,
and it's not in the bump rubbers.
581
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:58,720
Jackie has trouble in communicating
with writing and written words.
582
00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:02,360
But, he has absolutely
no trouble at all
583
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,600
in communicating
with the spoken word.
584
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:11,000
I learnt how to communicate.
I learnt how to explain
585
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,960
why the car
was doing this instead of this.
586
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,120
It took me longer to explain,
perhaps, than most people,
587
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:22,200
but it was probably more vivid
because I tried harder.
588
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,400
It felt like, to begin with,
there was no brake in the front.
589
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,600
I could press the brake
until there was a hole in my foot.
590
00:48:30,240 --> 00:48:32,200
I was a pain in the arse.
591
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,680
People will say, "Oh God, Jackie
goes on and on about this".
592
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,360
It's because I don't think
they've grasped it.
593
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,320
And many times,
of course, they have.
594
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:44,520
Engage fifth, then finally it
starts to, but not second.
595
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:51,240
I can say that I think I could
tune into mechanics and engineers,
596
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,680
and I respected them
for what they did
597
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,240
and understood
the quality of their work.
598
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,840
My mechanics
were better at doing what they did
599
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:02,760
than I ever was at what I did.
600
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,320
And that's why I'm alive today.
601
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,760
We understand
that some of the drivers
602
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,760
are concerned about
the safety of the track's surface.
603
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,840
So, there will be further updates
on the situation...
604
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:26,080
Safety, the word hits a raw nerve
as far as I was concerned,
605
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:29,520
because safety was a sick joke.
There wasn't any safety.
606
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:36,520
The circuits were dangerous,
and the medical facilities were
607
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,160
basic, to put it mildly.
608
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:41,960
With one hour until the track opens,
609
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:45,720
there is an inspection in progress
led by Jackie Stewart,
610
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:49,120
a driver with strong opinions
on motor racing safety.
611
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:53,120
The problem is they've known for
nine months this race will happen,
612
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,480
and they've chosen the last week
to resurface a racetrack.
613
00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:00,200
I just want to make sure that
614
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,520
if we practise
and the surface is breaking up,
615
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,160
the race will be cancelled.
616
00:50:05,240 --> 00:50:08,480
We don't want any more bullshit
that they will repair the road.
617
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:13,440
We have to recognise that
racing never will be totally safe.
618
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:17,880
The objective within motor sport,
or certainly my objective,
619
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:22,520
is to perhaps remove
its unnecessary hazards.
620
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:28,920
There are many today who feel that
motor sport should be dangerous.
621
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,480
Almost gladiatorial.
622
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,360
They strongly resist
Stewart's safety campaign.
623
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:40,720
Stirling Moss! He believed
it wasn't our job to be doing that.
624
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:42,960
He believed
that we had to take risks.
625
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,840
He always was a good friend,
but we differed on safety.
626
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,280
This is something where Jackie and I
don't see eye to eye.
627
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:51,960
I think we have to blame him
628
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,160
for the emasculation
of every decent circuit.
629
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,320
I believe, you see, that racing
needs an element of danger because,
630
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,840
to me, it's rather like cooking
and not having any salt.
631
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,240
I mean, the real flavour comes out
with the danger.
632
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:15,240
Driver safety is one thing,
but Jackie Stewart has his eye
633
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,320
on a bigger picture.
634
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,920
If we are anything less
than totally responsible,
635
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:23,560
we could lose this sport.
636
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,720
And if we do not
keep our own house in order
637
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:33,840
by containing accidents within
limitations of the track, without,
638
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:39,760
God forbid, without it
reaching the spectators.
639
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,800
Our biggest risk is that happening.
640
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,720
As far as I'm concerned,
I need now... I mean,
641
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:49,520
you can go out in a car if you like.
642
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:54,880
There are 25 cars here. You can't
sweep them on a course car.
643
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,040
You'd have to do 40 laps.
644
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,600
Stewart's efforts
are starting to bear fruit.
645
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:04,560
Not least with the state-of-the-art
mobile medical centre.
646
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,560
Jackie is a gigantically determined,
647
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:16,320
sincere chap, and he - admittedly
in association with other people
648
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:21,000
has made Formula 1
infinitely safer than it ever was.
649
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,600
It will never be safe,
650
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:28,520
but that it is as safe as it is now,
is entirely due to him.
651
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,280
At that time,
Jackie was seldom home.
652
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:49,560
I had Paul and Mark at home,
so, therefore, it was quite tiring.
653
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,480
Jackie was a dedicated family man,
654
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:56,600
although, he hasn't spent the time
that he would like to.
655
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:03,520
Always when he left home, he
wondered if he would be coming back.
656
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:10,160
Some of them didn't get back home,
and they had children.
657
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:19,160
Paul came back one day and said,
"When's Daddy gonna die?"
658
00:53:20,240 --> 00:53:22,960
All the boys say at school
that Daddy's going to die,
659
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:24,520
"because all racing drivers die."
660
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,040
You know, I see this,
and I really
661
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,600
feel them. You know,
I feel them very close to me.
662
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:39,560
- One...
- Two...
663
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,960
But, you know, you collect yourself,
and you go on.
664
00:53:50,720 --> 00:53:52,920
And, God dammit,
I am absolutely certain
665
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,720
that this costs you in terms of
relationship with your wife.
666
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,560
I think half of the trouble is,
with people like yourself
667
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:02,040
and the other so-called
intellectuals in America,
668
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,680
that they spend half their lives
analysing themselves
669
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,440
instead of enjoying it.
670
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:09,640
I see,
life is basically a happy affair...
671
00:54:09,720 --> 00:54:11,600
No, it's got
fucking sad moments in it.
672
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:13,600
I've probably seen
a lot more than you.
673
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:17,120
- No doubt you have.
- But I've seen a lot of it, boy,
674
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,040
and I've seen a lot of life.
675
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,640
And in seeing that lot of life,
I can understand it.
676
00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:23,760
Probably, a lot further
than some people.
677
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:35,240
You put it to me, three years ago,
in these terms,
678
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:38,640
"When driving a racing car,
you're more aware of your mortality.
679
00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:40,640
You love your kids
and your wife more
680
00:54:40,720 --> 00:54:42,960
because you know
you could be dead in a week."
681
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,160
When I'm really on form,
682
00:54:48,240 --> 00:54:50,960
I completely remove emotion.
683
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:52,480
I consciously remove it.
684
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:57,320
And when I see a corner
coming towards me,
685
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,600
I see that corner in slow motion.
686
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:06,600
Things don't rush past you
at an enormous flurry.
687
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:09,240
They're crystal clear.
688
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:15,280
Your whole system,
your whole physical body,
689
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,000
is so intense.
690
00:55:20,720 --> 00:55:22,640
It's a sort of intoxication.
691
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,280
I think it must be
like somebody being high on a drug.
692
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,080
I was jetting back and forward
across the Atlantic
693
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,840
on the World Championship
in Europe and beyond.
694
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:56,440
The Can-Am Championship was
from June until the end of October.
695
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,760
When Jackie Stewart gets it on,
there are few people in the world
696
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,360
who can match
his driving style and ability.
697
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,120
And right now,
Jackie Stewart is on it.
698
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:24,280
Jackie Stewart is now Formula 1
World Champion for the second time.
699
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:25,720
There he is celebrating
700
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:29,360
with teammate François Cevert
and team boss Ken Tyrrell.
701
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:44,120
Jackie, I know, is going to go on
and set all sorts of new records.
702
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,040
This is only
his second World Championship.
703
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:51,080
He set a new standard
in motor racing, a new high, and
704
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,840
something for everyone to go for.
705
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:56,200
But, for Christ's sake, lay off.
706
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:02,120
I'm Jackie Stewart.
The race cars I drive costs...
707
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,840
Getty Premium sells for less
than most other premiums...
708
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:07,560
Goodyear G800 Supersteels -
performance that lasts
709
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:09,520
Capri - the sexy European...
710
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:17,640
Let's talk about money.
Do you make more money than
711
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:20,600
most drivers, I mean
712
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:22,520
- I think so, yes.
- Why?
713
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:25,520
- Because people think I'm worth it.
- Why?
714
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:29,240
I mean,
it's more than just driving a car.
715
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:34,960
It amounts to the promo activities
that I do and
716
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:39,160
the way that I can talk and the way
I can put together a deal
717
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:42,000
that might be better
than somebody else.
718
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,120
I'm not quite sure
if he enjoys the racing,
719
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:51,360
or if he enjoys the fact
that he makes a lot of money.
720
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:56,720
I can never quite understand.
I've never really asked him.
721
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:11,240
By December, I was so exhausted,
through doing too many things,
722
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,520
I couldn't pick up
my World Championship.
723
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,680
It was my second World Championship,
and I sent Helen instead.
724
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:22,000
I was just so drained.
725
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:38,600
I was still feeling insecure
726
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:42,120
because I knew I wasn't as clever
as people thought I was.
727
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:47,480
But I still couldn't read,
and I still couldn't spell.
728
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,040
You know, Helen didn't know.
729
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,320
She did not know. I faked it.
730
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,440
Nobody, nobody knew.
It was a very well-kept secret.
731
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:13,440
The thrill of victory,
732
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:16,160
the agony of defeat.
733
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:21,600
Jackie Stewart
is once again with us today,
734
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:26,320
World Champion racing driver
and our expert on the sport
735
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:29,120
I was starting
to become a regular face
736
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:34,560
on ABC's Wide World of Sports,
a very successful American program me
737
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:36,160
with a big audience.
738
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,600
Full of excitement.
It's the epitome of glamour,
739
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,520
It's colourful, it's exciting.
It's everything we want...
740
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:46,200
The trouble was that I found it
impossible to read the teleprompter.
741
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,200
So, I had to fake it.
742
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:51,240
Three of them here and four
743
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:54,560
I learnt my lines in advance,
trying to make it work.
744
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:58,120
To observe and comment,
World Champion, Jackie Stewart.
745
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:01,200
Keith, the Alfa Romeo is
what's called a sports prototype.
746
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:03,880
It's a very special
kind of motor car...
747
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,720
It was a lot of preparation,
748
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,120
but in the end, it seemed to work.
749
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:19,520
I did 25 programmes one year
for ABC's Wide World of Sports,
750
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:22,640
and that was one of the years
I did 43 trips across the Atlantic.
751
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:32,760
But, in fact, the Atlantic travel
proved to be a bit too much for him.
752
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:36,800
This is not the confident Stewart
that we're used to seeing.
753
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:39,720
He has already missed one race
due to health problems,
754
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:43,960
and Ken Tyrrell must be concerned
about his star driver, especially
755
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,720
I got a duodenal ulcer
that haemorrhaged.
756
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:51,520
I was bleeding internally,
and I was in a mess.
757
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:53,840
There goes Colin Chapman,
758
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,960
and it's Emerson Fittipaldi.
A superb drive...
759
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:05,520
The Lotus team is making
a big impact in the 1972 season
760
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:07,560
with their brilliant
young Brazilian.
761
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:10,400
I was in a very strong position,
and we had many races
762
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:12,720
that we diced against each other.
763
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,000
Or he won, I was second,
or I won, he was second.
764
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:18,640
Really, you know,
765
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:20,120
I knew I wasn't driving well,
766
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:22,600
and I was cursing myself
for being too busy.
767
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:30,760
Fittipaldi is now Formula 1
World Champion of 1972.
768
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,040
The youngest ever champion.
769
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:36,480
That's my first World Championship.
770
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:43,920
It seemed Jackie didn't like
that Emerson idea.
771
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:49,000
Emerson Fittipaldi,
World Champion, 61 points.
772
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:51,560
Runner-up, Jackie Stewart on 45.
773
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:03,280
When you go into sport,
you win, or you lose.
774
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,280
The important thing is to win.
775
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:15,040
I don't know how many times
I finished second.
776
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:17,040
I couldn't tell you,
777
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:20,920
because it really doesn't matter.
778
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:30,840
You know, whatever I'm doing,
I try harder.
779
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:35,960
That's still going on in my life.
To this very day.
780
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:38,840
Good morning.
781
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,240
How are you?
Good to see you, come back.
782
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:44,920
Hey! Look at you!
783
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:48,600
Jackie is one of the best
drivers in the world.
784
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:54,440
But I still want to
do things in my life.
785
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:56,520
A very close friend of mine.
786
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:59,400
And I do it,
sometimes far too ardently.
787
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:01,840
It's the only way I know how to.
788
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:04,080
It's the only way
I've achieved anything.
789
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:05,840
It's the only way I've got success.
790
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:08,520
That takes you away from home.
791
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:10,600
I mean, Helen's fed up,
792
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,280
but she knows that I'm doing my job.
793
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,080
There's sometimes, she says,
794
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,520
"Why do you bother?
Why are you doing this anymore?"
795
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:22,600
- The Ford Cosworth engine.
- Yes.
796
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:28,240
I'm doing it
because I'm fulfilled by it.
797
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:33,760
I don't want to remove
what is Jackie Stewart.
798
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:39,160
Jackie Stewart, one of the main
personalities in motor sport...
799
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:49,840
This is the second Formula 1 race
of 1973,
800
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:54,160
and Interlagos is hosting
the first-ever Brazilian Grand Prix.
801
01:04:56,840 --> 01:05:00,560
Reigning world champion,
Emerson Fittipaldi,
802
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:03,040
- and Jackie Stewart.
- Emerson! Emerson!
803
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:08,640
Emerson was a star from Brazil,
and a tough competitor.
804
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,880
It was very fashionable
to have the sideburns at the time.
805
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:20,000
I said, "Why not, Jackie has them,
and he's going fast.
806
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,600
I have to have a bigger one
to go even faster than him!"
807
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:27,560
- Emerson!
- Emerson!
808
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,920
Once again,
that familiar celebration.
809
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:40,800
Fittipaldi takes the flag.
The local boy has done it,
810
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:42,840
and Interlagos is loving it.
811
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,640
What do you think of Emerson
as a pilot?
812
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:47,120
- Who?
- Emerson Fittipaldi.
813
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:49,080
The guy
who won the World Championship.
814
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:50,720
Ah, yes!
815
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:58,520
- The Lotus is unstoppable.
- He drove an excellent race.
816
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:01,480
I'm just sorry
I couldn't be more opposition.
817
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:06,440
Five races won so far,
818
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:10,040
three wins for Fittipaldi,
and two for Stewart.
819
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:34,880
Practice is in progress at Zandvoort
on this important weekend...
820
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:39,280
Fittipaldi in the Lotus,
Stewart in the Tyrrell.
821
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:41,400
They are on three wins apiece,
822
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:45,000
but Stewart leads by one point.
Both teams are, of course...
823
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:48,520
It feels to me the throttle spring
isn't strong enough, huh?
824
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:58,400
Blooming hell, Ronnie's engine is as
rough as a bag of nails, isn't it?
825
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:07,480
- Where's Emerson?
- He crashed very badly.
826
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:10,880
Oh no! Oh no!
827
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:17,040
Where? What happened?
828
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:20,920
He's crashed very heavily
into the guard rail.
829
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:25,840
Fittipaldi's brother.
830
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:28,200
His wife.
831
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:47,360
Sighs of relief all round.
832
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:50,680
We don't yet know
the extent of Emerson's injuries
833
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,680
or how this might affect
the battle for the championship...
834
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:55,720
But the race will start shortly.
835
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:26,400
A car has gone off
in the Panoramabocht.
836
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:30,000
At this point, we don't know
if there's still a man inside.
837
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:39,320
I just visited the crash site.
838
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:43,560
The man's dead.
I saw it, it was horrible.
839
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:49,040
I know for sure, it was
Robert Williamson's STP March.
840
01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:57,520
Williamson's dead. No lap
of honour, quiet presentation...
841
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,240
Take it.
842
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:15,280
Jackie Stewart now,
ten points ahead of Fittipaldi,
843
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:19,720
and a great congratulations
for James Hunt and the Hesketh Team.
844
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:23,080
This is only James Hunt's fourth
Grand Prix, a great achievement.
845
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:35,280
I think he thought he was...
it was beginning to get a bit silly.
846
01:09:36,440 --> 01:09:38,680
And I think
he took stock of his life then.
847
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:46,880
Here I was at the very
height of my skills, my abilities.
848
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:49,680
At the height
of my earning capacity.
849
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:53,200
All the adulation that went with it.
850
01:09:55,440 --> 01:09:58,520
And I was not
getting much out of it.
851
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:04,200
I was getting negatives
rather than positives,
852
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:08,920
and that confused me. It was then
that I decided I was gonna retire.
853
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:19,440
He didn't want this to be public
854
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:23,320
because he didn't want Helen
to be having a countdown on,
855
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:26,560
you know, only five more,
only four more, only three more.
856
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:36,960
She'd be waiting for that last race
with climbing anxiety,
857
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:38,640
to see it finished, if you like.
858
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:42,680
And
859
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:44,880
there were times I felt like
saying to Jackie,
860
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:46,440
"Give it up." But I didn't.
861
01:10:47,440 --> 01:10:52,200
In fact, I vowed I never would.
And I never have done.
862
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,800
Do you ever feel guilty about,
863
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:14,240
in effect, the kind of life
you put Helen through?
864
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:16,920
Oh, hell, yes. Oh absolutely.
865
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:20,600
I think it's a very selfish business
and I do feel guilty.
866
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:32,080
At the height of my career,
867
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:36,480
I know I was a wickedly selfish,
self-centred person,
868
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:39,040
and the world
had to circulate around my life.
869
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:42,600
If you gear it for third gear...
870
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:46,880
My family, my wife,
my business associates,
871
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:50,480
my team, my mechanics,
my designers, my Ken Tyrrells
872
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:54,080
they had to be all fitting around
what Jackie Stewart wanted.
873
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:05,280
- Do you fancy a game?
- Yes!
874
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:08,840
- I've got my bat!
- It's a good one.
875
01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:12,160
Now, we've talked a lot
about your husband, Helen, but
876
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:15,240
what about his teammate?
How do you get on with him?
877
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:16,640
- François?
- François, yeah.
878
01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:20,320
He's great fun, nice to be with.
And he loves my family
879
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:23,280
and Jackie.
We get on all so well together.
880
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:25,560
He's quite a fit young man,
isn't he?
881
01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:28,800
He'd always have these girls coming,
882
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:31,640
to try get to know me,
so they could to get to know him.
883
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:39,160
This one here was François...
not kissing me at all, just
884
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:44,480
kidding on. I think it's so funny
'cause Jackie...
885
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:48,000
He couldn't have cared less anyway.
886
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:50,760
Because he knew he was safe.
887
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:54,440
It wasn't serious.
888
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:17,280
Well, we are delighted to see
Emerson Fittipaldi back on the grid.
889
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:22,680
He's in 14th position, a long way
back from Stewart and Peterson,
890
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:26,880
with Ickx and François Cevert
in the second Tyrrell, behind...
891
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:32,160
Five, four, three.
892
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:45,040
I held nothing back from François.
Nothing!
893
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:50,520
Tell me about your education
as a driver.
894
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:54,480
Well, I think it's very simple:
Jackie did all my education.
895
01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:59,680
I was what you could call
a mad driver.
896
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:05,920
I was driving like hell. I was not
thinking enough to what I was doing.
897
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:09,320
And Jackie stopped all that
and teach me
898
01:14:10,480 --> 01:14:14,080
how you must analyse a car, how
you must think when you are driving,
899
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:16,680
what kind of vision you must have.
900
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:21,680
Stewart wins in Germany,
his 27th Formula 1 victory
901
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:24,600
the most races ever won by a driver,
902
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:27,000
surpassing the late Jim Clark
who had 25
903
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:29,720
François had
an immense appetite to learn...
904
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:31,800
And for me it was nice,
905
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:34,880
because I was with somebody
who I could pass something on to.
906
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:38,960
And he was quick.
907
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:43,000
I said to Ken afterwards,
"You know
908
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:47,480
François, I really think
he could've beaten me today."
909
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:57,160
Jackie is still the maestro for me.
He is the only man,
910
01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:02,640
maybe in the world, to be able to do
a whole Grand Prix of 90 laps,
911
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:06,080
two hours racing,
without making one mistake.
912
01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:11,400
But I think I am on one lap,
I'm now as fast as Jackie.
913
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:15,800
What does that mean,
what do you have to do to beat him?
914
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:17,720
Not to make any mistakes.
915
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,800
And a big one, François!
916
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:25,120
Jackie Stewart now looks unbeatable
in the race for the championship.
917
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:29,120
He has 60 points,
followed by Cevert on 45,
918
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:31,040
Fittipaldi on 42.
919
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:35,040
François didn't know I was retiring.
920
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:40,240
He was the obvious team leader
for the following year.
921
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:44,440
François! François! François!
922
01:16:03,480 --> 01:16:06,280
Every race I went to that year,
I thought,
923
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:08,600
"Wow, I'll never race here again."
924
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:13,920
Bloody cork!
925
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:26,960
All of these events
became very focused in my mind
926
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:29,120
as the last time I'll be doing that.
927
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:32,840
So, that was the sweet time.
928
01:16:33,480 --> 01:16:36,880
The last corner, coming into sight -
and Stewart has done it!
929
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:41,240
Jackie, hi!
930
01:16:42,480 --> 01:16:46,240
He is now World Champion of 1973!
931
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:51,080
Two Grand Prix still to come
in Canada and the United States...
932
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:01,920
During the two weeks
before the Grand Prix in America,
933
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:04,800
we went down to Bermuda.
934
01:17:08,440 --> 01:17:11,240
And Jackie had gone off
to play golf,
935
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:13,600
we were just lying there,
936
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:16,720
discussing will Jackie retire,
or will he not retire.
937
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:20,800
And I said, "Well, if he retires,
you'll be number one anyway."
938
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:26,640
So he said, "I 'ope so."
939
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:31,040
"I do not know."
940
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:38,640
He used to
play the piano a great deal
941
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:42,720
and he used to play
this wonderful tune from Beethoven,
942
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:44,240
"Pathétique".
943
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:51,680
He would always
tease me with that music
944
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:54,440
because it always upset me
'cause I loved to hear him play.
945
01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,160
And when we left there, it was
946
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:05,520
very - I don't know,
I had a funny feeling when I left.
947
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:15,960
Ladies and gentlemen, if you wish,
948
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:20,320
you may now smoke -
cigarettes only, please. Thank you.
949
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:29,040
Funnily enough,
that day François said to me,
950
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:31,040
"If anything
ever happens to me..."
951
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:33,840
He didn't believe
in life after death, if you
952
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:35,280
die, that's it.
953
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:39,400
I said, "I think you're wrong.
I'm sure there's something.
954
01:18:39,480 --> 01:18:42,080
There can't just be nothing."
955
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:47,040
So, he said,
"I'll tell you what:
956
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:50,760
Whoever goes first,
comes back and gives a sign."
957
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:07,120
See that trophy?
It takes a lot to win it.
958
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:13,680
That's right, roll it over!
959
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:19,400
Testing 123, testing 123,
Watkins Glen...
960
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:33,360
Mr and Mrs Edsel Ford, please head
to the Ford Motor Company bureau,
961
01:19:33,440 --> 01:19:34,960
located to the left of the...
962
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:37,640
My wife Cynthia and I
were gonna meet Jackie and Helen.
963
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:39,680
We arrived
in time for practice, and
964
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:43,840
you know, everybody
was in good spirits.
965
01:19:44,440 --> 01:19:46,000
It was a very festive weekend.
966
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:57,920
As I got closer
and closer to what would've been
967
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:00,280
my last race,
at my hundredth Grand Prix,
968
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:05,080
I wasn't getting hyped up,
nervous or excited about it.
969
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:08,320
It was the end of a long season.
970
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:10,080
I had secured
the World Championship.
971
01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:13,200
And I had a great feeling
972
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:17,000
about my career
having come to an end, really.
973
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:25,800
After the morning practice sessions,
Ronnie Peterson has the fastest time
974
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:28,720
with 1 minute 39.6 seconds...
975
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:34,320
Before the last practice,
Ken said to me,
976
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:38,720
the biggest gesture you could make
in your last Grand Prix,
977
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:40,600
even if you're leading it,
978
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:43,280
would be to move over
and wave François through,
979
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:44,760
and let him win.
980
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:48,400
And I said, "Ken, that's a big ask.
My last Grand Prix?"
981
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:52,640
I said, "You have to
let me think about that one."
982
01:20:56,880 --> 01:21:01,080
Stewart's teammate, 29-year-old
Frenchman François Cevert,
983
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:03,520
has had a tremendous season so far.
984
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:06,920
He collided with Jody Scheckter
two weeks ago at Mosport,
985
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:08,920
but he's back in the car
this weekend
986
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:11,160
I cannot be more happy.
Everything I do
987
01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:13,520
about motor racing, I enjoy it.
988
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:16,160
Anything. Because it is my passion.
989
01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:22,000
I'd got to the pits by that time.
I'd got my books out and everything.
990
01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:27,640
He just looked up, and he goes...
before he put his visor down.
991
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:32,440
Our final practice session
is just beginning
992
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:34,440
and will go on
for the next 30 minutes...
993
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:55,880
There was debris all over the track.
I mean, large parts of it,
994
01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:58,520
but clearly blue.
995
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:06,720
And I went to the car,
still smoking, steaming.
996
01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:09,920
And François is in the car.
997
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:15,600
And... it was just a horrible sight.
998
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:20,800
It was just
999
01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:26,560
the violence of it was so horrid.
1000
01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:31,800
Christ, it still
1001
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:41,240
still bothers me today.
1002
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:09,240
I often think about him.
1003
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:15,320
We had long conversations,
François and I, about death and
1004
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:18,280
what happened
if there was life after death.
1005
01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:23,760
I said, "If it happens to you,
you come back and tell me."
1006
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:28,440
And he did.
1007
01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:36,160
So, I know there's life after death.
1008
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:44,520
That's really all I have
on that particular subject.
1009
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:10,560
I'm not one who looks back
with rose-coloured glasses.
1010
01:24:11,440 --> 01:24:13,280
I'm not one who thinks like that.
1011
01:24:19,480 --> 01:24:22,640
There's been some difficult times.
1012
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:31,800
But there's also been
unexpected positives.
1013
01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:41,360
I was 43 years of age
1014
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:44,960
well after I had retired
from racing
1015
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:49,000
when I was diagnosed
as a severe dyslexic.
1016
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:56,600
And I suddenly thought, "God,
I've been saved from drowning!"
1017
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:00,520
I'm not stupid and I'm not thick.
1018
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:02,840
I'm not dumb.
1019
01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:25,240
Nowadays people are saying
that dyslexia can be an advantage.
1020
01:25:28,480 --> 01:25:30,360
I'm not sure if that's true.
1021
01:25:33,480 --> 01:25:38,680
- But if my story can help people...
- Good.
1022
01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:40,760
Who can't read or write,
1023
01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:44,560
then I'll see that as a success.
1024
01:25:57,880 --> 01:25:59,960
My life's been
a kind of rocket ship
1025
01:26:02,480 --> 01:26:06,840
where the vivid, bright colours
go with the deepest of dark colours.
1026
01:26:09,680 --> 01:26:14,360
And I think that
that's where you get the real taste
1027
01:26:14,440 --> 01:26:16,640
of what is reality.
1028
01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:18,040
In the deepest sense.
1029
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:32,520
And although it had its sour times -
and they were deeply sour
1030
01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:38,880
that also highlighted what
the reality of the good life was,
1031
01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:43,400
and what life had given to me
just by driving a racing car.
1032
01:30:11,960 --> 01:30:15,600
