One of the true greats of Formula 1, Sir Stirling

One of the true greats of Formula 1, Sir Stirling Moss, has died at the age of 90.
-
Often referred to as the greatest driver never to win the world championship, Moss contested 66 Grands Prix from 1951 to 1961, driving for the likes of Vanwall, Maserati and Mercedes, where he famously formed a contented and ruthlessly effective partnership with lead driver Juan Manuel Fangio.
-
May he rest in peace.
