LEGENDARY FORMULA 1 DRIVERS - STIRLING MOSS
Born in London in 1929, Stirling Moss is considered to be one of the greatest ever racing drivers. Nicknamed the ‘champion without a crown’, he won 212 races, including 16 Grand Prix events, and was crowned runner-up in the world championship four times in a row between 1955 and 1958, but he never succeeded in lifting the world title. An eclectic driver, he also notched up numerous victories in the Sport category (including a sensational victory in the Mille Miglia in 1955) and in rallies: he is one of three drivers to have won a Gold Cup in the Alpine Rally. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2000, and passed away in 2020, at the age of 90.
