News Sir Stirling Moss: Motor racing legend dies aged 90 after long illness.

[Notebook]

He won 16 of the 66 F1 races he competed in from 1951 to 1961.
He became the first British driver to win a home grand prix in 1955 at Aintree.
Moss famously lost out on the F1 title in 1958 to compatriot Mike Hawthorn after vouching for his rival and preventing him being disqualified when he was accused of reversing on track in the late-season Portuguese Grand Prix.

One of that Era, sad to see him go.

Fangio and Moss, that would be worth watching, in proper cars too.

One of my favorite races from that era was the Race of Two Worlds at Monza. These guys certainly were fearless!

Wiki says so: The circuit would be run in an anti-clockwise direction, the same used at Indianapolis, but opposite the direction used by Formula One at Monza.

Lately there's been a tendency to overuse words like "Legend"

In this case, legend is absolutely spot on!!!

RIP.
