Sir Jackie Stewart, the iconic three-time Formula 1 World Champion, has revealed that he experienced a mini-stroke earlier this year while in Jordan following the Miami Grand Prix. The stroke occurred on the night before attending the wedding of Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan.
Stewart, who has maintained an active schedule as a team owner and brand ambassador since retiring from racing, admitted that the busy schedule leading up to the incident “all added up.” He had recently attended the Miami Grand Prix, followed by a night in the UK for a funeral and another night in Geneva before traveling to Jordan for the wedding.
