<p>Motor racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart has been taken to hospital after falling ill on a London-bound flight.</p>
<p>It is understood the 72-year-old former Formula One world champion had to be given first aid by British Airways stewardesses after complaining of chest pains on a flight from Geneva.</p>
<p>The aircraft was met by paramedics on its arrival at Heathrow&#8217;s Terminal 5 and Sir Jackie is thought to have been taken to Hillingdon Hospital in west London.</p>
<p>Sir Jackie had been returning to the UK from the Geneva Motor Show.</p>
<p>According to journalists on board the BA plane, the pilot asked passengers if there were any medical personnel on the plane, stating that there was a medical emergency.</p>
<p>It was reported that Stewart got up to go to the toilet during the flight but never returned to his seat.</p>
<p>Scottish-born Stewart was three times world motor racing champion and was a giant of Grand Prix racing in the 1960s and 1970s.</p>
<p>Sir Jackie was travelling on BA727 from Geneva, which landed at Heathrow at around 12.40pm.</p>
<p>BA said: &#8220;Our flight crew requested a priority landing so that a male passenger could receive medical attention immediately on arrival.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our cabin crew cared for the customer during the flight. We wish him well.&#8221;</p>
