Three-time Formula 1 world champion and motorsport safety pioneer Jackie Stewart will receive the Autosport Gold Medal at this year's Autosport Awards in December.
The Scot will become the third recipient of the Gold Medal which recognises an individual who has given a lifetime of service to motorsport and who leaves a lasting legacy. Former FIA President Jean Todt was the inaugural winner in 2021, before Stewart presented legendary American motorsport team boss and latterly the owner of the IndyCar Series and Indianapolis Motor Speedway Roger Penske with the award in 2022.

His time in the French cars yielded the world championship in 1969, and one of the most famous grand prix wins of all by over four minutes at the Nurburgring in 1968.
