Three-time world champion Jackie Stewart was hospitalised on Wednesday after being taken ill on a flight from Geneva to London. Stewart is undergoing precautionary checks, but is expected to make a full recovery.
According to reports, the 71-year-old Scot complained of chest pains during the journey and was met by paramedics at London’s Heathrow Airport before being taken to Hillingdon Hospital in Uxbridge.
"He seemed absolutely fine but obviously something happened and we need to establish what,” Stewart’s son Paul told the BBC after speaking to his father.
Stewart, world champion in 1969, 1971 and 1973, remains a familiar face in the paddock, despite having retired from Formula One competition at the end of ’73.
