In 1953 he competed in a Formula 2 - Connaught Type A at the Grand Prix of Great Britain in Silverstone , which was part of the 1953 drivers' world championship . However, after an ignition defect, he had to end the race early. Stewart also took part in some Grands Prix , the results of which were not included in the championship standings.
