Sir Jackie Stewart's hometown marks 60th anniversary of his first Formula 1 Grand Prix win

Hundreds of people joined in the fun at Levengrove Park to honour the iconic Dumbarton hero's first ever win.
Hundreds gathered at a park in Dumbarton to mark the 60th anniversary of the legendary Formula 1 driver Sir Jackie Stewart's first race victory.
The celebration was held at Levengrove Park to honour the iconic Dumbarton hero's first ever win.
‌
The park was buzzing with excitement as visitors took on the 1965m Grand Prix Walk – a special tribute to the year Sir Jackie took his first F1 Grand Prix win in Monza, Italy.
‌
Sir Jackie was first to see the checkered flag ahead of Graham Hill and Dan Gurney.
The three-time Formula 1 world champion was born and raised in Milton, West Dunbartonshire, before going on to claim the drivers' championship in 1969, 1971 and 1973.
Local residents, school pupils and care home residents joined the fun, with a surprise appearance from Sir Jackie's 1969 F1 World Champion trophy. Representatives from Alzheimer Scotland and the ever-lovable Buddy the Bear also joined in the celebration.
A host of motorsport organisations also attended, including: The Jim Clark Trust; Veterans of Scottish Motor Sport; Tyrrell Racing Organisation; and Scottish Motor Racing Club.
The event also helped shine a spotlight on Race Against Dementia, the charity founded by Sir Jackie in support of his wife, Lady Helen.
‌
Back in April, Sir Jackie revealed the heartbreaking moment his dementia-stricken wife of 60 years forgot who he was.
Lady Helen, 84, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2014.
‌
Sir Jackie, 85, said at that time: 'Just the other day it was time for dinner, she's getting up and I'm sitting close by, and she says, 'Where's Jackie?' That's the first time that's happened and that's only a few weeks ago.'
Sir Jackie said his wife is the reason he founded Race Against Dementia, which is funding a blood test trial developed by the University of Cambridge. The trial hopes to detect early signs of frontotemporal dementia.
‌
Sir Jackie also spoke of how 'sundowning' – a common side-effect of the disease which sees the sufferer become more agitated later in the day as their brain becomes more tired – is affecting Lady Helen.
‌
He said: 'I know that Helen doesn't mean it when she suddenly goes round and hits me, or the nurses.
'She can hit somebody quite often, she uses language that she's never ever said in her life and it comes like that [clicks his fingers] and I say, 'Darling, darling, don't say that'.
She says 'Why?' And she'll give me a row for doing that. That's usually after 5pm.'
‌
Sir Jackie previously outlines his desire to see a cure for the disease discovered while he is still around to see it happen.
He added: 'When you have a problem in Formula 1 [clicks his fingers] it's fixed... they're also changing [technology] all the time, because they have enthusiasm and they see the results.
'I want this to happen just as much as I wanted to be world champion - it's terribly important.'

Lando Norris told McLaren have 'already decided' on F1 Championship fight

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are eyeing the world championship and have the fastest car on the F1 grid but McLaren may eventually have to make a decision on who they back Former Formula 1 star Ralf Schumacher believes McLaren have "internally decided that Oscar Piastri is the man" that will deliver them a the world championship with Lando Norris still too error prone. McLaren have the fastest package on the grid and lead both championships with Piastri currently 22 points ahead of Norris. That was aided by a retirement from the Brit last time out in Canada after he crashed into the back of his Australian team-mate. ‌ The team have adopted a 'let them race' approach but so far Piastri has had the edge over Norris, who has long been seen as the team's darling. The Aussie has won five of the ten races this season, underlining his own championship credentials. ‌ Norris has claimed two victories but some believe he lacks the mental capacity to see off his team-mate, who has shown his killer instinct in the past. McLaren refused to back Norris over Piastri last season when he attempted to chase down Max Verstappen for the title. This year they've still opted against picking a No 1 driver with both men free to pursue their ambitions, but inside the garage Schumacher believes they will have identified Piastri as the man to take them forward. READ MORE: Lando Norris to have showdown McLaren meeting after Oscar Piastri crash He told Sky Germany: 'I believe that it is now internally decided that Piastri is the man the team will focus on in terms of the World Championship. Lando shows too many weaknesses and makes too many mistakes, including his senseless driving into the back of Oscar in Canada.' Norris was out qualified by Piastri in Montreal but some strong race pace saw him chase down his team-mate. In the closing laps he looked to overtake his colleague but got his move wrong down the pit straight, later holding his hands up and owning his mistake. 'He has apologised and that shows what a great person he is,' said Schumacher. 'But it's no use, because great people rarely win titles.' McLaren were always open and honest and confessed that their strategy would inevitably lead to their two driver crashing on track. Team boss Andreas Stella has confessed that Norris' incident at Canada may have impacted his confidence with the team needing to help him back. He said: "Obviously it's an episode which cost him championship points. It's an episode that for his own admission he said, 'the principle was clear, I just made a misjudgement'. He never came to say, 'let's talk about it'. This may have an impact in terms of his confidence, but it's up to us as a team to show our full support to Lando."

Ferrari speak out on driver exit rumours amid Lewis Hamilton difficulties

A struggle for results has seen the pressure around Lewis Hamilton swell at Ferrari, but he isn't the only driver at Maranello with his name making the headlines Ferrari boss Frederic Vasseur has grown weary of constant rumours suggesting Charles Leclerc might leave the team. He emphasised that the Monegasque driver is under a long-term contract with the Italian outfit despite persistent speculation about his future. Leclerc, 27, currently holds fifth place in this season's Formula 1 drivers' standings, one spot and 25 points ahead of his team-mate, Lewis Hamilton. The seven-time world champion joined Maranello amid much hype at the start of 2025, but Leclerc remains the dominant force for the team so far this season and has only finished behind Hamilton once. ‌ Both drivers were less than thrilled with their performance at the recent Canadian Grand Prix, where Leclerc and Hamilton finished fifth and sixth, respectively. In fact, Hamilton is yet to secure his first podium finish for Ferrari as the season reaches its halfway point, having largely struggled thus far. ‌ Given these circumstances, it's logical Ferrari would want to retain Leclerc, who continues to outperform Hamilton despite the latter's high-profile arrival. When asked about his own future with the team, Vasseur took the opportunity to address the ongoing speculation surrounding his leading man. "It's a good example to speak about Charles," he told the media after the Canadian GP. "Charles has a long-term contract with us. "Every single interview from the beginning of the season, he's telling that he wants to stay with Ferrari. He wants to win with Ferrari. His future is with Ferrari. "But every single Monday, we have an article telling that, 'Charles will go next year', 'Charles will...' At one stage, I don't know what we have to do. I'm sorry – I can't repeat every single weekend the same things. But it is like it is." Leclerc penned a new deal with Ferrari in January 2024. The specifics of his contract's duration aren't known to the public, though there have been reports in the past suggesting it could be a five-year extension. ‌ Leclerc himself expressed being "very surprised" at claims of his unhappiness. And he recently reiterated his desire to lead Ferrari to the pinnacle of F1 once again. "I have no idea where it's coming from," he recently told reporters. "So, I'll rather just ignore it. But I've never said anything of this in the last few races. If anything, I keep saying how much I love the team and how much I want to bring back Ferrari to the top. I was just surprised." In contrast, Hamilton signed an initial two-year deal at Maranello, which reportedly may extend to a third. Nonetheless, Ferrari might face a tough call come the close of the 2026 season if their fortunes don't take a sharp upward turn within the next year or so. Having joined Ferrari's driver academy at 18, Leclerc continues to be a loyal servant as he looks to crack the F1 hierarchy. And despite Ferrari still not clinching a victory so far in 2025, all signs point towards a lasting bond between the team and their top driver.

What has gone wrong for Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari?

I t was, of course, the vegan Lewis Hamilton who accidentally ran over a groundhog in Montreal last week. Not only was that an irony given his diet, but also a symbol of the bad luck and poor form that has punctuated his early Ferrari career. After Hamilton had initially visited the factory and met key members of the team in his opening weeks, sources close to him made it known that he thought they were ready to win a championship in the immediate future. But as soon as the car hit the track, it was evident that would not be the case this season. Ferrari believe there is more potential in the car than they have extracted at recent race weekends. That was illustrated in Montreal, when they were held back by a combination of mistakes — by Charles Leclerc in practice, which caused a crash — and poor fortune, in the case of Hamilton's groundhog incident, which caused significant floor damage to his car. Their drivers are keen for upgrades, which could come as soon as next weekend's Austrian Grand Prix and is certainly expected before Hamilton's home race at Silverstone on July 6.
