Don't forget Lotus' switch to Mercedes. Yet another Merc-powered car for McLaren to get around.

True, but that power will mask a multitude of chassis sins.

Non-sequitur.
Jackie Stewart is one of these rare people that I just can't find a reason not to admire. Every single instance that I hear him talk, watch an old documentary, or listen to him describe racing, safety or his era of F1, he is just such an incredibly impressive person. His contribution to F1 is perhaps unmatched because there are dozens of drivers still alive and it can be directly traced to him. No other person has taught me more about how to perform in an F1 car. Coultard and Brundle do a very good job, but Steward has an amazing way to explain the process of driving with simple yet powerful language.

I agree, although JYS lately has been veering rather close to "Get off my lawn!" territory sometimes.

He is the man...
A great friend of the late Francois Cevert.
Drivers, men and like JYS both at the same time.

I sometimes find Jackie annoying. Usually because he doesn't ever seem to pass on an opportunity to offer a quote on most subjects. Also, his very interesting book was probably 100 or so pages too long (because he talked too much). Anyway, I do admire his achievements as a driver, businessman, team owner, and safety activist. Watching Roman Polanski's movie featuring him during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend was a treat. I think it was called "Weekend with a Champion".

I saw that as well. The moment where they were in the hotel and Roman drew a racetrack on the tablecloth and Jackie described how to be fast thru a corner really changed my understanding of how to be quick.

The main difference is button placement (apart from Hamilton's brake bias setup). I believe drivers in other teams have steering wheel preferences. Not sure Autosport or F1 Racing have ever done a feature rounding up the differences.
