Sir Stirling Moss dies aged 90

Quote:

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.

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.

This was my introduction to him. I think I was 8 - 10 years old.

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