British motor racing legend Sir Stirling Moss has died at the age of 90 following a long illness.

He is widely regarded as one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers of all time, even though he did not win the World Championship.

A true legend.

RIP Sir

I am embarrassed to admit that I thought he had died a few years ago.

I had heard Sir Stirling Moss's name bandied about in racing circles about the same as the name Mario Andretti.



Rest in Peace.

Not me, prior to retirement I would often say "Would you like to step out of the car for me Wing Commander"?
