ESPN had this on yesterday. I've seen about 30 minutes of it so far. Highly recommend it. Good video footage from the "old" days.

I watched it for 45 minutes from a historical view and for the respect of Stewart's contribution to F1 safety.

It's too bad it didn't cover his time as an owner, only up until start #99.

I was interested in how well this was done. Some of their stuff has been hit or miss

Watched it, most of it is well known, but his his admitting that he couldn’t read or write is new, and is a stunning revelation. Well done Sir JYS for the bravery to put this out.
It’s hard to believe that Oct 6th will mark fifty years since Francois tragic death at the Glen. I have always considered him the great “what if” of F1 history. His talent, charisma, etc. would have made him a magnificent world champion. He would have owned the mid-late 70’s in F1.

I'm about an hour into it and I have to say it's been really good in my opinion.
