Stewart: Lewis thinks too little

The incident from the last race between Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton will obviously be one eternal dilemma. While Jacques Villeneuve explained his view and blamed Rosberg for the accident, Formula 1 legend Jackie Stewart pointed a finger at Hamilton. The interview for Autosport was short and clear - Lewis Hamilton was to blame. “It is unacceptable for drivers with such experience and knowledge to cause such an accident in the first lap,” Stewart was critical. “The big ones don’t do that. Neither Juan Manuel Fangio, nor Sir Stirling Moss, nor Jim Clark did anything like that. Even some current racers wouldn't do something like that, "Stewart continued sharply.

Stewart: This is where Hamilton can break the season

formula 1

Three-time world champion Sir Jackie Stewart believes Nico Rosberg, now that he has won the best starting position, has the first chance to be able to take the top podium and possibly defeat Lewis Hamilton.

He drove a very clean lap, no nonsense and deservedly the fastest, as he was the team's second racer for too long. The fact that his teammate always beats you can hurt you.

Formula One legend Jackie Stewart spoke briefly about the safety issue in F1: “For many years, some lived in the belief that nothing could happen to them in this sport. Some thought they were bulletproof. We watched the close fights bike by bike, for example between Hamilton and Rosberg (we’ve been watching them all season) where they showed their determination as if they were bulletproof. Bianchi’s accident put us all on real ground, we saw that serious accidents can still happen. Of course, we must not stress now that racing cars is dangerous. It will be necessary to take new measures and take action again

Button could be the champion this year

formula 1

Former Formula One world champion Sir Jackie Stewart is confident Jenson Button can become world champion this year. Button won his first title in 2009, but last year he did not do well with the inconsistent McLarn. But Stewart believes Jenson could become the champion for the second time this year, provided McLaren offers him a real race car. "He can succeed. He has all the necessary qualities. I just hope McLarn prepares him a race car that will suit his abilities," Stewart said.
