The Stewart SF3 was the car with which the Stewart Grand Prix team competed in the 1999 Formula One World Championship. It was driven by Brazilian Rubens Barrichello, in his third season with the team, and Briton Johnny Herbert, who joined from Sauber.
Stewart were purchased by the Ford Motor Company during the 1999 season, and would be renamed Jaguar Racing for the 2000 season onwards. The SF3 was the final Formula One car known as a Stewart.[2][3]
