Thank you for that! I've never seen the video before. I guess in later years, the title could have referred to Peterson, G. Villeneuve or Senna.
I worked for Stewart Grand Prix during their start-up year of 1996. One day, JYS and Paul Stewart walked into the factory with George Harrison to give him a tour of everything they were doing to build it into a full-fledged F1 team!

No. Ford financed the start-up/engines and other sponsors (HSBC, Visit Malaysia, Texaco, Sanyo) the running budget.
It is remarkable that Jackie Steward (with his son Paul) obtained the initial finance package from Ford to launch the team, including engines supply, then support over 2 years and still managed to sell STEWARD F1 to Ford. Quite clever the wee Scott !!
Jean-Pierre Beltoise's Matra MS11 at Monaco I can just hear the sound of that engine now. They don't look or sound anywhere near as good these days. Image Unavailable, Please Login
You never hear the engine at full beans in vintage events, on the formation lap you could hear(and feel) the Matra over the rest of the pack. Incredible!
