- Birth namePaul Evan Stewart
- Paul Stewart is the son of Scottish 'Formula 1' World Champion, Sir Jackie Stewart. Born in Dumbarton (Scotland), Paul's childhood was marked by his father's racing successes which propelled the family to fame and fortune. In turn Paul developed a passion and skill for racing and had success over the years. However, each rung higher up the motorsport ladder, the competition was much tougher and 'Formula 1' would prove elusive as a driver. With a sideways step, solely into management with his 'Paul Stewart Racing' team, eventually that 'Formula 1' dream would be achieved. With the Stewart family help, 1997 was the launch of the 'Stewart Grand Prix' team. With a smartly designed car, a Tartan livery, good business partners and a strong Stewart family presence, this an ambition accomplished. Paul stayed with the team when 'Ford' bought the team at the end of 1999, which became 'Jaguar Racing' for the 2000 season.
Unfortunately Paul was diagnosed with a health issue and stepped down as Chief Operating Officer for 'Jaguar Racing'. Now in remission Paul is an occasional visitor to the 'Formula 1' paddock these days.

- Paul spent much of his childhood in Switzerland and was educated at Aiglon College in Switzerland, one of Europe's most exclusive private schools.When he finished school he went to college in the United States, studying political science at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.
- Now in remission Stewart is only an occasional visitor to 'F1' these days.
- Soon afterwards the team was sold to the 'Ford Motor Company' and Paul gave up his new role and became chief operating officer. He was named chief operating officer of 'Jaguar Racing' in January 2000 but was forced to resign in the mid-season when it was discovered that he was suffering from cancer.
- The 'PSR' operation had 'F1' ambitions and father Jackie's connections opened many doors but the most important was with 'Ford' which agreed to supply the new 'F1' team with its factory engines. The company also helped the new 'F1' team to gather up sponsorship to fund the leap into 'Grand Prix' racing. 'Paul was managing-director of the 'Stewart Grand Prix' team from the start until early in 1999 when he stood down and became deputy chairman.
- For 1990 there would be a major expansion for 'PSR' with a move to Milton Keynes and the foundation of three two-car teams: one in 'European Formula 3000', one in 'British F3' and the third in 'Formula Vauxhall Lotus'. It was the start of an operation which has now won 119 race victories and 12 different Championship victories. In addition the team has helped talented youngsters as such as David Coulthard, Gil de Ferran and Dario Franchitti to reach the top echelons of the sport. Paul spent 1991, 1992 and 1993 racing in 'Formula 3000' but without success and at the end of the final year, at the age of 28, Paul retired as a driver to concentrate on building up 'PSR'.
