Stewart's new sponsors
JACKIE STEWART will announce in London this week that he has signed up two major new sponsors for his Grand Prix team.
It remains to be seen which are the companies involved but Stewart was talking to British Telecom and MCI about backing from their planned merger - which would have created a company called Concert. This fell through and MCI was later taken over by Worldcom - which may be one of Stewart's backers.
All Stewart will reveal at the moment is that his new backers are both high-technology multinationals.
