BREAKING: Motor-Racing Legend Stirling Moss Dead At 90

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

Recognised as one of the greatest drivers of all time, Moss won 212 of his 529 races but was also known as the best driver never to win a Formula One title.

In his seven seasons he won 16 races and the closest he came to winning the drivers’ championship was in 1958, when he lost out on becoming Britain’s first world champion to Mike Hawthorn by a point, despite winning four races to the Ferrari driver’s one.

Indeed, he finished runner-up four times between 1955 and 1961 and was forced to retire after a serious accident at Goodwood in April 1962 when his Lotus crashed into a grass bank.

“He died as he lived, looking wonderful,” his wife Lady Moss told the Daily Mail.

“He simply tired in the end and he just closed his beautiful eyes and that was that.”
