Three-time Formula One world champion Sir Jackie Stewart completed this afternoon a tribute lap around the 5.412-kilometre track of Bahrain International Circuit, held as part of the pre-race programme of the Formula One Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2025.
The lap was to celebrate 75 years of F1 and to support fundraising efforts for the Race Against Dementia charity, of which he is the founder.
The F1 legend drove his 1973 Tyrell world championship car. His tribute lap in Bahrain honoured the oldest-living world champion on the 60th anniversary of his F1 debut, racing in his 1973 Tyrrell over 50 years on from his last race.
Sir Jackie wore a one-of-a-kind world champions’ helmet, featuring the signatures of all 20 living F1 World Champions.
His tribute lap followed last week’s ‘One Lap Challenge’ organised by the British Embassy at BIC.
