THE WORLD mourned the loss of a timeless motorsport icon Sir Stirling Moss, at the age of 90 following a long drawn illness. Sir Stirling Moss was never crowned a Formula One Champion and yet is regarded as one of the sport’s greatest drivers, not just for his reputation for being a demon in the cockpit, winning when all the odds were stacked against him, but for his exemplary manner and sportsmanship outside of it. Mr. Motor Racing as he will be fondly remembered as had a spectrum of involvement in motorsport that was just awe-inspiring, and wherever he went stories of legends would follow. Moss was a man who shined as the underdog whether it was in an outdated Lotus Formula One car or challenging physics in a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR at the 1958 Millie Miglia.
