(GMM) Sir Jackie Stewart has defeated an embittered challenge to remain president and board member of the Silverstone-owning BRDC.
The 'vicious' row, according to the triple world champion, with ousted chairman Ray Bellm, ended with 82 (president) and 56 (director) per cent votes in the Scot's favour.
''Had I not retained a place on the board,'' Sir Jackie revealed to a media scrum afterwards, ''I would have walked away.
''So, yes, I'm relieved.''
Sir Frank Williams and Murray Walker (and David Coulthard, who sent written support) both backed Stewart at the meeting.
