The motorsport community is in mourning following the confirmation that Sir Patrick Stewart, an iconic figure who left an unforgettable mark on the F1 paddock, has passed away at the age of 86 at his home in Los Angeles due to complications from Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia.
The devastating news was made public on Thursday through an official statement released by his family and spokesperson after a private illness. Globally celebrated for his legendary portrayal of Captain Jean-Luc Picard in the Star Trek franchise and Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men films, he also boasted a distinguished stage career spanning over six decades with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Formula 1 fans fondly remember his memorable appearance at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve back in June 2017, an eventful weekend where Lewis Hamilton triumphed from pole position for Mercedes ahead of Valtteri Bottas, while Daniel Ricciardo claimed a brilliant third place for Red Bull.
On that unforgettable afternoon, the acclaimed actor conducted the official podium interviews and unexpectedly volunteered—rather than being coaxed—to partake in the Australian driver's trademark celebratory shoey ritual.
That spontaneous gesture instantly became one of the most celebrated and widely shared celebrity crossover moments in Grand Prix history, cementing his legacy not just on Broadway and the West End, but in the hearts of racing enthusiasts worldwide.
