  • Date: 14th October 1973
  • Summary: 1. Carlton Towers Hotel, London. 0.08 2. CU ZOOM OUT Jackie Stewart at news conference. 1.23 Stewart: "1973 has in fact been a successful year as far as I'm concerned. The World Championship this time has meant a great deal to me. Today I'm a lighter man than I have been for some time, I've enjoyed it enormously, there's no one enjoyed it more than I have. All these races have been a great experience. Motor racing I certainly won't be leaving, because I'm intending to be very much involved in the future. I hope that I'll be able to do things for the sport, for its foundations, for its security, and I hope that some of the experience that I've had will assist the sport and a few other people in the process. I think that the biggest consideration I've had have been the family, the boys and Helen is the reason that I'm stopping because I feel that it's my responsibility to do that. So until that point when I will come back I thank you all so for and I can only say that I'm really very happy of the decision that I've made and this is something that means a great deal to me and thank you all so far."
