Jackie Stewart and Emerson Fittipaldi joint interview, [Autosport] January 19th 2012

  • EF: I never told Jackie this, but at Watkins Glen [when Stewart's team-mate, François Cevert, had his fatal crash in 1973] I thought it was your car. Did I ever tell you the story?
  • JYS: No.
  • EF: I knew Jackie was going to stop and when I saw the yellow flag, knowing that section was quick, I stopped and just saw the wing of the Tyrrell. I went over the fence to help and it was just a disaster. In François, we lost a great friend.
  • JYS: The violence of the accident...
  • EF: It was shocking. I thought it was terrible for Jackie to have all of his career then this happen to him in his last race. But it was François.
