Paul Stewart (racing driver)

Paul Stewart was born in Scotland but moved to Switzerland before he was three and lived near many other racing drivers, including Jochen Rindt and Jo Bonnier.

Stewart was educated at Aiglon College and Duke University in North Carolina, where he read political science.

Paul Stewart signed up to do Junior Formula Ford 1600 in the summer of 1987, he led some races and had some second places.

Paul Stewart Racing came into existence in 1988, fielding a FF2000 sporting Camel sponsorship, with the assistance of Jackie's former mechanic Roy Topp and James Skilling.

In Formula 3, Stewart came up against future F1 and Indycar drivers: Mika Häkkinen, David Coulthard, Gil de Ferran and Kenny Bräck.

I spun and crossed the line backwards but the race was then red-flagged because Mika Hakkinen had just had a huge accident at the Bombhole and I won it on countback".

Upon hearing the news, he stepped down as Chief Operating Officer for Jaguar Racing and subsequently travelled to the Mayo Clinic in the U.S. for treatment.
