Driver, world champion, team boss, safety campaigner - in the world of Formula One, Sir Jackie Stewart's done it all.

But growing up in West Dunbartonshire, Stewart battled dyslexia throughout school and was labelled thick by his teachers. It was through working as a mechanic at his father's garage that he eventually found his calling – and in a small Austin that he gained his first taste of the open road.

So, Sir Jackie, at what age did your love for cars begin?

At school I had a really hard time because I was heavily dyslexic. The teachers would call me ‘stupid, dumb and thick’ when I failed to read out loud in front of the class and the clever folk didn’t want to talk to me.

I left school with no education at all and I worked at my dad’s garage, selling petrol and fixing cars. When you’ve been put down so much and you find something that you’re good at – what a relief.
