Sir Jackie Stewart was reunited with the Tyrrell 006 he raced to his third and final F1 World Championship title during the 1973 season on Sunday, as part of a special demonstration run ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix.
The emotional pre-race moment combined F1’s 75th anniversary year and the 60th anniversary of Stewart’s F1 debut, as well as marking 10 years of his charity, Race Against Dementia, which was founded in 2016 following his wife’s diagnosis.
