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.

I remember Mr Moss wasn't he fond of green racing cars?

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

Wait, he wasn't the guy who designed the Short Stirling and the deep Havilland Mosquito?

What are coppers going to say now when they stop speeding 60-year-olds?

RIP, great man

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