LONDON – Stirling Moss, a daring, speed-loving Englishman regarded as the greatest Formula One driver never to win the world championship, has died.
He was 90. His wife Susan said he died peacefully at his London home following a long illness. "It was one lap too many," she said. “He just closed his eyes.” A national treasure, affectionately known as "Mr.
Motor Racing," he was fearless and fiercely competitive. The balding Moss’ taste for adventure saw him push cars to their limits. "If you're not trying to win at all costs," he said, "what on earth are you doing there?" His often reckless attitude took a toll on his slight body.
