Dit bericht bekijken op Instagram Today we say goodbye to Sir Stirling Moss, the racing legend. I think it’s important that we celebrate his incredible life and the great man he was. Saying goodbye is never easy and can be sad but he will always be here, in our memories and will always be such a huge part of British Motorsports Heritage. I certainly will miss our conversations. To be honest, it was such a unusual pairing, our friendship. Two people from massively different times and backgrounds but we clicked and ultimately found that the love for racing we both shared made us comrades. I am truly grateful to have had these special moments with him. Sending my prayers and thoughts to his family. May he rest in peace🙏🏾 Een bericht gedeeld door Lewis Hamilton (@lewishamilton) op 12 Apr 2020 om 6:20 (PDT)

Dit bericht bekijken op Instagram Today a great great man has passed away. Sir Stirling Moss to me is the definition of a real racer. I’ve always been a massive fan of Stirling and I once asked a friend of mine who knew Stirling if he could get me his autograph. He came back to me and told me that he’d spoken to Stirling and he would be glad to see me at his home in Mayfair. So I not only got Stirling’s autograph but I got to spend a day with Stirling and his lovely wife, Lady Moss. Sterling lived a life that I can only dream of. His legacy will live on forever. Rest In Peace legend. Een bericht gedeeld door Kevin Magnussen (@kevinmagnussen) op 12 Apr 2020 om 3:10 (PDT)

At the @fosgoodwood one year, his helmet wasn’t done up properly and he shouted at me “Come here dear boy - strap me up will you”! What an amazing character and driver... The greatest never to have won the World Championship. pic.twitter.com/aFaugeQO0P — Karun Chandhok (@karunchandhok) April 12, 2020

RIP Sir Stirling Moss. A mighty racer and gentleman. He had a press on style on the track and in life. Remarkable man. Survived the most dangerous era of motorsport and died today aged 90. He had such great stories to tell, and it was a privilege to know him. 😢 — Martin Brundle (@MBrundleF1) April 12, 2020

So sad to hear the news about Stirling. Easter now; Easter back in 1962, when he crashed so heavily at Goodwood. Thoughts and hugs with Suzie. I took this pic a couple of days before Stirl left for his last cruise. He's telling Jack Windsor all about the Mercedes W125 x pic.twitter.com/GBM0SJC3CI — Peter Windsor (@PeterDWindsor) April 12, 2020
