I watched the great old man yesterday from the grandstand - we were sitting directly opposite him in the pitlane. He had difficulty just walking to the car and only did one slow lap. But an absolute legend.....

Wise decision. I feel privileged to have witnessed his final lap in a racing car. Legend!

One of the very greatest ever.
It would be nice to get his name right. It's Sir Stirling Moss. |

Only on this thread - I would have amended ujoint's post had I noticed
I should be able to spell the great man's name, one of my all-time heros, after all. |

It's Sir Stirling Moss then. Kee Ryst. I didn't misspell it on purpose.
