'Let's keep Sir Jackie'
BRDC 'revolution' continues

(GMM) There's 'revolution' afoot inside the BRDC, owner and F1 promoter at British GP venue Silverstone.

But Ray Bellm, recently ousted as chairman, denied the 'revolt' is personal payback after rows about the grand prix with Sir Jackie Stewart.

He wants Stewart, president and ex-triple F1 champion, to quit as a 'director' but retain a mere 'ambassadorial' role.

''Personalities are not the issue,'' Ray told UK's Daily Mail.

''This is not a Jackie v. Ray show. (Jackie is) great. He opens doors.''

JYS, though, is resolute, and will face the music on May 12 when members vote on whether to remove Stewart as 'president and director.'

''In name, fame and contacts,'' Bellm - insisting that Stewart should not be in charge - wrote in a letter, '(Jackie) has contributed much.''
