Why Moss was 'Mr. Motor Racing'
Unfairly dubbed the greatest driver never to win the F1 world championship, the late Sir Stirling Moss' sheer talent made him arguably the greatest all-rounder in history
One of the greatest and most versatile drivers of all time has left a legacy of brilliance and indomitability that may never be matched. Renowned for being a driver who could take a car way past its 'natural' limits but contain its wayward behaviour due to his own vast skillset, Sir Stirling Moss paid the price for such pace in an era when mechanical reliability could never be taken for granted.
But when the car stayed together, his efforts were rewarded with many wins - 212 of 529 entered - and some of those victories are truly legendary.
