#OnThisDay 25 years ago Ken Tyrrell announced that he’d sold his #F1 team to British American Tobacco. It became BAR, then Honda, then Brawn, then Merc. Tyrrell sold because he was “not satisfied with being at the back of the grid” & wanted his team to win again. That it did.
Tyrrell Tuesday - Jackie Stewart's final Grand Prix car, Tyrrell 006/2 @fosgoodwood 2017. Purchased by Jackie from Tom Wheatcroft.
Jackie won his third F1 World Championship in 1973. Tyrrell second in the Constructors Championship.
