Gutted by this - a true great of the sport and despite no world title generally thought of by his peers as one of the best ever

Oh thats very sad... Bit like Muhammed Ali with Boxing etc. his was the Sports name you'd associate with Formula One

Strange fact but his name was used for one of the Forms in my School Year

Our year had Sporting Legends, Beaumont and Peters (that was mine after Mary Peters) were two of the others, cant remember anymore

RIP Sterling

RIP someone who can genuinely be called a legend.

People above a certain age (me included) still say when an idiot flashes past you at 120mph - "who does he think he is, Stirling Moss?"

Agree with @Pedro45 - probably the best never to have won a World Championship. He did win the Mille Miglia though amongst other achievements and was probably a better long distance driver than at Grand Prix distance.

RIP Stirling.

“Oh here we go, got another Stirling Moss coming up behind us....”
A name synonymous with speed.
RIP Stirling.

Gutted. He retired from public life a couple of years ago due to his health so not a huge shock.

I was lucky enough to meet him a few times, he was such a nice guy. My old man was a massive fan and the picture he got him to sign had pride of place in his study. It was funny seeing him like a star struck kid when we met him.

I imagine the last thing Sir Stirling Moss would have wanted would be to rest in peace. So I'm going to wish that he rests in noise, petrol fumes and adrenalin. 

He was the best of us.

Talked to him a few times at Brands in my youth. Unfortunately he did'nt have the car to win a world title but a great driver.

RIP to a legend.

Sterling Moss would've been World Champ in later years but the points and places in his era stopped him having that accolade.
Runner up 4 times, he retired at 32 after a crash from F1 but carried on driving in the historic meetings until he was 81.

A  bon vivant who had no equals in life style in  British drivers other than James Hunt in later years. Graham Hill went close !

Moss is survived by his third wife Susie and two children. “He died as he lived, looking wonderful,” said Lady Moss.

He had a fantastic life and accepted that fate and Fangio stopped him being a world champ.

RIP Sterling Moss.

RIP Stirling.

My late father in law took a tumble on a bus as the driver accelerated away.  He apparently shouted out, 'Who do you think you are, Stirling bloody Mansell?'

RIP Stirling.

Yes the name those of us 'of a certain age' think of first when Motor Racing is mentioned.

RIP Stirling
