    Were Jackie Stewart/Jim Clark etc "British" when they won but "Scottish" when they lost?

    It seems that the issue generally (about Andy Murray etc) is now actually disputed and said to be a media myth by many - but does anyone have the original media reports about Clark and Stewart (and Coulthard) etc that show the pattern or not?

    e.g. I do know that Stewart lost the 1972 world title at the Italian GP (I think he had to beat Emerson Fittipaldi to keep his title hopes alive but he stalled on the grid and was out of it and Fittipaldi then won the race as well).
