THE LAD AND DAD F1 TEAM! The Story of Stewart Grand Prix (1996-2000)

[@AidanMillward]

Man terrible with numbers has blunder with numbers shocker. Jag was 9th with 4 points in 2000.

[@HangoverTelevision]

you gotta be saying this in a "short" the way I described in the other comment. 😂😂😂😂😂.... HELP I can't even! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@harmkuijpers6642]

Fun fact: Jos Verstappen raced for Stewart in 1998, a team that later became Red Bull. In 2003, he raced for Minardi, a team that later became Toro Rosso. If Max Verstappen ever joins Mercedes (or, less likely, Alpine), that'll be the third team his father has driven for as well (albeit in a previous incarnation of the team).

[@ibex485]

A major reason why the Stewarts sold the team to Ford was Paul Stewart's health problems, which would eventually be diagnosed as bowel cancer. I remember Jackie Stewart talking about the decision to sell at the time and giving this as the reason and saying he & the family needed to dedicate themselves to fighting Paul's illness.

[@fuller9x]

It was great to see them starting to come right and be somewhat competitive, but then Ford started to meddle and make them a Jaaaaaag and then the wheels fell off.

Nice little story for you Aidan. December 1996, Boreham (near Chelmsford) dropping my dad off at a pub for a Christmas drink. We're near the Ford test track of what's left of it so I decided to drive past it. It was actually used as a track for about three seasons back in the forties but no more, the area is rich in aggregates and backs onto mid Essex gravel pit so large sections got cut up, I am told by my dad that back in the day you could hear Ford WRC cars being tested there. Anyway, on this particular day just before Christmas I drove down the back lane that goes past trees where a corner of the track is just on the other side and...loads of vans are there and a handful of guys and cameras with huge zoom lenses. I decide to park up and find out what's going on. I get chatting to a Dutch fella and he quietly points at a huge marquee tent in the distance. He tells me that they believe, in the tent is the new Stewart Ford F1 car and Rubens Barichello and they are waiting for it to break cover for its first shakedown. Pretty amazing. Rubens Barichello in Chelmsford. I wish him good hunting and head home. A few days later a picture of the shakedown made the front cover of Motoring News.

If memes had been around in the late 90s, Stewarts blowing up on the grid would have been one of them. It seemed to happen with comical frequency. Herbert at the EU GP though, that was mega.

[@stephenbrown4211]

I can remember a company I worked for at the time were supplying stuff to Stewart. We all had champagne and cake to celebrate their first GP win. Then we became part of the Jag project.

[@thatguyfromcetialphaV]

Looking back, Ford should have kept Jackie as the team manager and let him do his thing, but they chopped and changed things so much, the Jaguar factory's revolving doors were spinning faster than Chuck Norris' roundhouse kicks.

[@JutiMayranen]

There still is huge comparisons between Stewart Grand Prix and MasterCard Lola on how to do and not to do an upstart Grand Prix team in modern F1 circus.

[@areasquirrel]

Another of my OGs. The white car always stood out, and as I was beginning my education on racing, was intrigued by this team being run by a champion. The unwritten rules of sporting nomenclature seem to say that you're only a 'former' champion if you win a championship, then subsequently compete again and are defeated, then lose the title. Thus, if you retire undefeated - in F1, Hawthorn, Stewart, Prost and Rosberg - you're a champion for life. Champion Emeritus? Rosberg bucked the trend in terms of team ownership by winning titles in Extreme E, soon to be Extreme H. And of course, as a driver, and a team boss, he beat Lewis Hamilton in equal machinery. Boom.

[@gordonwallin2368]

I remember Sir Jackie all teary eyed when (Barrichello) got first time on the podium. It was very cool. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.

[@classicsportclassictiyl8547]

Sir Jackie's emotional attachment to Monaco stemmed from his love for the place, having triumphed there three times during his driving career, and his close ties with the local royal family. Eager for his team to live up to his legacy, he went so far as to cancel a post-race test in Imola to ensure that the cars were optimally prepared for Monaco and to address any reliability issues.

[@ArthurSeijiNishikawa]

Good memories. Stewart, or rather Barrichello overachieving for Stewart, is what got me into F1.

[@GreatCdn59]

2000 Jag didnt finish 4th in the constructors.. they finished with 4 points. they were classified 9th

Not sure it should be mentioned as a Jan Magnussen debut, he stood in for Hakkinen at Mclaren before his Stewart stint.

Steward Ford is one of my favourite stories of the 90'. I waas ruling for them as much as for the Michael. And even that livery grew on me.

Another bit '90's F1 things' from that very race. One of the mclaren in a panic to leave the pits before the race managed to bring down apart of the garage roof when a wheel gun or cable got wrapped around its wheel. Oh yeah, eddie Irvine winning was also abit of a curveball

Yes please. Barrichello's abysmal luck at his home race is also something worth looking into.

There were some fun bits about Rubinho post-F1, he had a run at a Sunday morning program about cars though I can't recall if it was at Globo or SBT. He was also sadled with the reputation of being so slow that he would arrive to thing years out of date, probably thanks to the efforts of then comedy show Pânico.

Even though I am a Mclaren fan, I loved it when Stewart did well. Being from the States, I was used to rooting against Ford teams, but how could anyone root against Jackie. I was so sad to see the white and tartan get exchanged for the green.

[@16jan1986]

Hates Jackie's guts....he killed Magnussens career

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

Barrichello's win in Germany was the second race you mentioned (though "double podium"!? You didn't say which steps!) which I was reduced to tears by. Damon in Hungary being the other, naturally. But the Stewart win turned me into a blubbering wreck because it started with Badoer breaking down when he was certain to get the only points of his career and _he_ was crying on the side of the track. By the time the race finished, I was out of it. 😂 Paul Stewart got out of racing because, IIRC, he had cancer of some sort. It's fantastic that he pulled through the other end, because the timing of him getting it was rubbing salt into a very open wound. It's a shame that the team didn't survive as Stewart, but it's done pretty well a few iterations down the line. 😊

[@Kev79]

I loved that livery

[@MrBsUkuleleChannel]

I share your pain about Damon finishing P2 in Hungary, some things just never fade even after nearly 30 years! 😆

[@eamonahern7495]

If I remember correctly, one of the things Ford blamed their reliability issues in the first year with Stewart on had something to do with a new chain drive system they were working on with the engine. The engine blow ups in the 1990s used to be spectacular at times, especially in the Stewart.

[@solsol1624]

Re JYS doing things right. I read that when the trucks were in the paddock they were jacked up and the wheels rotated so that the tyre logos were on top!

Based on the Stewart wiki page results (For the most part), it was points or the sidelines. No inbetween. I'd be curious to see other midfield teams finishes to points success ratio.

Ye most midfield teams were like that since cars were so unreliable
