Stirling Moss

Sir Stirling Moss was a British racing driver and broadcaster, born in London in 1929, who competed in Formula One from 1951 to 1961. Widely regarded as one of the greatest drivers never to win the world championship, he finished runner-up four times and third three times while winning 16 Grands Prix, the record for a non-champion. He won a record 212 races across disciplines, including the 1954 12 Hours of Sebring and the 1955 Mille Miglia for Mercedes, three Monaco Grands Prix, and 12 World Sportscar Championship races. He retired in 1962 after an accident at the Glover Trophy left him in a coma for a month. He was BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 1961, worked as a commentator, and entered the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1990. He died in 2020.
