A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
In a bid to aid the efforts by his own global charity, Racing Against Dementia, Sir Jackie Stewart OBE, took his Tyrrell 006, his last F1 title winning car, for a lap around Bahrain.
Since Stewart's wife, Helen, was diagnosed with dementia, a syndrome comprised of several illnesses that affect the brain's cognitive functions, memory, thinking and the overall ability of carrying out basic daily activities, former 3-time world champion founded Racing Against Dementia, a global charity whose sole purpose is to fight said syndrome.
Not only did the Scott drive his old Tyrrell but a helmet signed by all living World Champions, including Michael Schumacher, will be auctioned off to raise awareness for the cause.

The Scott, before the Bahrain Grand Prix, took to the track with his 1972-1973 Tyrrell 006, the car in which he won his last F1 title over 50 years ago.

The car was highly successful since its introduction late in the 1972 season, achieving 5 Grand Prix victories, all to Stewart's name, and 9 podium finishes, with the Scott taking one in 1973, and his then teammate, Francois Cevert, taking a further eight.
The Frenchman tragically lost his life in that very car during Saturday morning qualifying for the final round of the championship in a horrific crash that made a heart-broken Stewart decide to move his already planned retirement up, skipping the race the following day. It would have been the Scott's 100th Grand Prix.
