Jimmy Stewart was a Scottish racing driver who competed at semi-professional level, with a Racer Rating of 3,414. This places him in the semi-professional band; a driver capable of racing competitively among professionals but without a sustained career at that level.[1]
Stewart's racing record consisted of a single Formula 1 start in 1953, driving for Cooper in a World Championship Grand Prix. He finished twentieth in the race, his sole outing at the sport's highest level. Beyond this, he also competed in non-Championship Formula 1 races, though these did not yield results that elevated his competitive standing. His career was brief, lasting only through 1953, and his single championship-level appearance produced no points or finishes of note. The Cooper team he drove for proved capable elsewhere; it would go on to accumulate multiple race wins and field drivers of considerably higher calibre, including Mike Hawthorn, an elite professional of the era.[2]
Stewart was the elder brother of Jackie Stewart, a figure of far greater prominence in motorsport history. After his racing career ended, he moved into the garage industry and became involved in anti-alcohol advocacy work in Scotland. He passed away in December 2022.
