Sir Stirling Craufurd Moss (17 September 1929 – 12 April 2020) was a British racing driver and broadcaster, who competed in Formula One from {{F1|1951}} to {{F1|1961}}.

In endurance racing, Moss won the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1954, as well as the Mille Miglia in 1955 with Mercedes.
Born and raised in London, Moss was the son of amateur racing driver Alfred Moss and the older brother of rally driver Pat. Aged nine, Alfred bought him an Austin 7, which he raced around the field of the family's country house. Initially an equestrian, Moss used his winnings from horse riding competitions to purchase a Cooper 500 in 1948. He was immediately successful in motor racing, taking several wins in Formula Three at national and international levels, prior to his first major victory at the RAC Tourist Trophy in 1950, driving a Jaguar XK120. Moss made his Formula One debut at the 1951 Swiss Grand Prix with HWM, making several intermittent appearances before moving to Maserati in {{F1|1954}}, where he achieved his maiden podium at the {{F1GP|1954|Belgian}}. Moss joined Mercedes in {{F1|1955}}, taking his maiden win at the {{F1GP|1955|British}} as he finished runner-up in the championship to career rival Juan Manuel Fangio.
Moss again finished runner-up to Fangio in {{F1|1956}} and {{F1|1957}} with Maserati and Vanwall, winning multiple Grands Prix across both seasons. He took four wins in his {{F1|1958}} campaign, but lost out on the title again to Mike Hawthorn by one point. From {{F1|1959}} to {{F1|1961}}, Moss competed for Walker, taking multiple wins in each as he finished third in the World Drivers' Championship three times. Moss retired from motor racing in 1962, after an accident at the non-championship Glover Trophy left him in a coma for a month and temporarily paralysed. He achieved 16 wins, 16 pole positions, 19 fastest laps and 24 podium finishes in Formula One, the former of which remains the record for a non-World Drivers' Champion. Moss was a three-time winner of the Monaco Grand Prix, four-time winner of the British Empire Trophy, and five-time winner of the International Gold Cup. He also contested the World Sportscar Championship from 1953 to 1962, winning 12 races with various manufacturers. In rallying, Moss finished runner-up at the Monte Carlo Rally in 1952. Throughout his career, he broke several land speed records across different categories.
In British popular culture, Moss was a widely recognised public figure, with his name becoming synonymous with speed in the mid-20th century. He made several media appearances, including in the James Bond film Casino Royale (1967), and was named BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 1961. Upon retiring from motor racing, Moss established a career as a commentator and pundit for ABC. Moss was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1990.
Early life
Moss was born in London to amateur racing drivers Alfred and Aileen Moss (née Craufurd).{{cite news|last=Williams|first=Richard|title=Sir Stirling Moss obituary|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/apr/12/sir-stirling-moss-obituary|work=The Guardian|date=12 April 2020|access-date=12 April 2020}} His grandfather was Jewish and from a family that changed their surname from Moses to Moss. He was brought up at Long White Cloud house on the south bank of the River Thames. His father was an amateur racing driver, who had come 16th in the 1924 Indianapolis 500, and his mother had also been involved in motorsport, entering into hillclimbs at the wheel of a Singer Nine.{{cite web |last=Pollitt |first=Chris |title=A Legend Passes – Sir Stirling Moss |url=https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/magazine/a-legend-passes-sir-stirling-moss/ |work=Car & Classic |date=12 April 2020 |access-date=12 April 2020}} Moss was a gifted horse rider, as was his younger sister, Pat Moss, who went on to become a successful rally driver.{{cite news |last=Dirs |first=Ben |title=Pat Moss: The racing legend's sister who beat the men |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/31749919 |work=BBC Sport |date=5 March 2015 |access-date=12 April 2020}}
Moss was educated at several independent schools: Shrewsbury House School, Clewer Manor Junior School, and Haileybury and Imperial Service College.{{cite news |title=Sir Stirling Moss, British motor racing legend – obituary |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2020/04/12/sir-stirling-moss-british-motor-racing-legend-obituary/ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2020/04/12/sir-stirling-moss-british-motor-racing-legend-obituary/ |archive-date=12 January 2022 |url-status=live |work=The Sunday Telegraph |date=12 April 2020 |access-date=12 April 2020 |url-access=registration}}{{cbignore}} He disliked school and did not get good grades. At Haileybury, he was subjected to bullying due to his Jewish roots.

He purchased his own car at age 15 after he obtained a driving licence.

Moss raced from 1948 to 1962, winning 212 of the 529 races he entered, including 16 Formula One Grands Prix.{{cite news |url=https://news.sky.com/story/sir-stirling-moss-british-formula-one-legend-dies-aged-90-11972238 |title=Sir Stirling Moss: British Formula One legend dies aged 90 |last=Collier |first=Ian |publisher=Sky News |date=12 April 2020 |access-date=12 April 2020}} He competed in as many as 62 races in one year and drove 84 different makes of car over the course of his career.{{cite news |url=https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/sport/other-sport/motorsport/sir-stirling-moss-reunited-1955-9564018 |title=Sir Stirling Moss reunited with 1955 Mille Miglia-winning 300 SLR car at Mercedes-Benz World |work=Surrey Live |date=2 July 2015 |last=Spendelow |first=Nathan |access-date=12 April 2020}} He preferred to race British cars, stating: "It is better to lose honourably in a British car than to win in a foreign one." At Vanwall, he was instrumental in breaking the German and Italian stranglehold on F1. He kept his record of the most Formula One Grand Prix victories by an English driver until 1991, when Nigel Mansell overtook him.{{cite web |last=Koylu |first=Enis |title=Sir Stirling Moss dies aged 90 |url=https://www.eurosport.co.uk/motorsports/motor-racing-news-sir-stirling-moss-dies-aged-90_sto7724986/story.shtml |publisher=Eurosport |date=12 April 2020 |access-date=12 April 2020}}

Moss began his career at the wheel of his father's 328 BMW, DPX 653. Moss was one of the Cooper Car Company's first customers, using winnings from competing in horse-riding events to pay the deposit on a Cooper 500 in 1948. He then persuaded his father, who opposed his son's racing career and wanted him to become a dentist,{{Cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p04wf0d2/face-to-face-stirling-moss |title=Face to Face – Stirling Moss |publisher=BBC}} to let him buy it. He soon demonstrated his natural talent and ability with numerous wins at both the national and international levels, and continued to compete in Formula Three, with Coopers and Kiefts, after he had progressed to more senior categories.
His first major international race victory came on the eve of his 21st birthday at the wheel of a Jaguar XK120 in the 1950 RAC Tourist Trophy in Northern Ireland.{{cite web|title=Happy 90th Birthday Sir Stirling Moss|url=https://www.goodwood.com/grr/event-coverage/goodwood-revival/2019/9/happy-90th-birthday-sir-stirling-moss/|publisher=Goodwood Road & Racing|date=17 September 2019|access-date=12 April 2020}} He went on to win the race six more times, in 1951 (with a Jaguar C-Type), 1955 (with a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR), 1958 and 1959 (with an Aston Martin DBR1), and 1960 and 1961 (with a Ferrari 250 GT).{{cite web |title=Past Winners |url=https://www.royalautomobileclub.co.uk/motoring/trophies/tourist-trophy/past-winners |publisher=Royal Automobile Club |access-date=12 April 2020 |archive-date=15 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200815144323/https://www.royalautomobileclub.co.uk/motoring/trophies/tourist-trophy/past-winners |url-status=dead}} Enzo Ferrari, the founder of Ferrari, approached Moss and offered him a Formula Two car to drive at the 1951 Bari Grand Prix before a full-season in 1952. Moss and his father went to Apulia only to find out that the Ferrari car was to be driven by Piero Taruffi and were incensed.
Also a competent rally driver, Moss was one of three people to have won a Coupe d'Or for three consecutive penalty-free runs on the Alpine Rally. He finished second in the 1952 Monte Carlo Rally; driving a Sunbeam-Talbot 90 with Desmond Scannell and John Cooper as his co-drivers.{{cite web |last=Fearnley |first=Paul |title=GP drivers in the Monte Carlo Rally |url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/rally/gp-drivers-monte-carlo-rally |work=Motor Sport |date=23 January 2014 |access-date=12 April 2020}} In 1954, he became the first non-American to win the 12 Hours of Sebring, sharing the Cunningham team's 1.5-litre O.S.C.A.

In 1953, Mercedes-Benz racing boss Alfred Neubauer had spoken to Moss's manager, Ken Gregory, about the possibility of Moss's joining Mercedes. Having seen him do well in a relatively noncompetitive car, and wanting to see how he would perform in a better one, Neubauer suggested that Moss buy a Maserati for the 1954 season. He bought a Maserati 250F, and although the car's unreliability prevented him from scoring high amounts of points in the 1954 Drivers' Championship, he qualified alongside the Mercedes front runners several times and performed well in the races.{{cite book |last=Pire |first=Valerie |title=Ciao, Stirling: The Inside Story of a Motor Racing Legend |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sLKkDwAAQBAJ&q=Alfred+Neubauer+Stirling+Moss+1954+Ken+Gregory+manager&pg=PT43 |year=2019 |publisher=Biteback Publishing |isbn=978-1-78590-499-8 |access-date=12 April 2020}} He achieved his first Formula One victory when he won the Oulton Park International Gold Cup.{{cite web |last=Malsher-Lopez |first=David |title=Why Stirling Moss was 'Mr. Motor Racing' |url=https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/stirling-moss-mr-motor-racing/4779795/ |publisher=motorsport.com |date=12 April 2020 |access-date=12 April 2020}}
In the Italian Grand Prix, Moss passed both drivers who were regarded as the best in Formula One at the time{{snd}} Juan Manuel Fangio in his Mercedes and Alberto Ascari in his Ferrari{{snd}} and took the lead of the race. Ascari retired with engine problems, and Moss led until lap 68, when his engine also failed.{{cite journal|title=25th Gran Premio d'Italia|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/october-1954/41/25th-gran-premio-ditalia|journal=Motor Sport|date=October 1954|volume=XXX|number=10|pages=577–579|access-date=12 April 2020}} Fangio took the victory, and Moss had to push his Maserati to the finish line.Italian Grand Prix, Rodolfo Mailander Photograph Collection, Revs Institute, [https://library.revsinstitute.org/digital/custom/single-image?id=326078&collection=p17257coll1 Revs Digital Library].

Moss's first World Championship victory came at the 1955 British Grand Prix, a race he was also the first British driver to win.British Grand Prix Aintree, George Phillips Photograph Collection, Revs Institute, [https://library.revsinstitute.org/digital/custom/single-image?id=440833&collection=p17257coll1 Revs Digital Library]. Leading a 1–2–3–4 finish for Mercedes, it was the first time he had beaten Fangio, his teammate, rival, friend and mentor. It has been suggested that Fangio allowed Moss to win in front of his home crowd. Moss himself asked Fangio this repeatedly, and Fangio would always reply with: "No. You were just better than me that day."Tremayne, David and Mark Hughes. The Concise Encyclopedia of Formula One.

==Mille Miglia==
In 1955 Moss won Italy's one-thousand-mile Mille Miglia road race, an achievement that Doug Nye described as the "most iconic single day's drive in motor racing history".{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/2735551/The-greatest-race.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121231163620/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/2735551/The-greatest-race.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=31 December 2012|title=The Greatest Race|last=Nye|first=Doug|date=28 May 2005|work=The Telegraph|publisher=Telegraph Media Group Limited|access-date=10 March 2014}} His co-driver was motor racing journalist Denis Jenkinson, who prepared a set of pace notes for Moss, and the two completed the race in ten hours and seven minutes. Motor Trend headlined it as "The Most Epic Drive Ever".{{cite web|url=http://www.motortrend.com/classic/features/1210_1955_mille_miglia_the_most_epic_drive_ever/|title=1955 Mille Miglia: The Most Epic Drive.

The object was simply to keep awake, like wartime bomber crews." After the win, he spent the night and the following day driving his girlfriend to Cologne.

Moss won the Nassau Cup at the 1956 and 1957 Bahamas Speed Week.{{cite magazine|last=Wright|first=Alfred|title=A Long, Loud Huzzah For Nassau|magazine=Sports Illustrated|date=12 December 1960|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1134782/index.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111206224818/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1134782/index.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=6 December 2011|access-date=3 January 2013}} Also in 1957 he won on the longest circuit ever to hold a Formula One Grand Prix, the {{convert|25|km|mi|abbr=on}} Pescara Circuit, where, yet again, he demonstrated his mastery in long-distance racing. The event lasted three hours and Moss beat Fangio, who started from pole position, by approximately 3 minutes.
In 1958, Moss's forward-thinking attitude made waves in the racing world. Moss won the first race of the season in a rear-engined F1 car, which became the common design by 1961. At Monza that year, he raced in the Maserati 420M in the Race of Two Worlds, the first single-seater car in Europe to be sponsored by a non-racing brand{{snd}} the Eldorado Ice Cream Company. This was the first case in Europe of contemporary sponsorship, with the ice-cream maker's colors replacing the ones assigned by the FIA.{{cite web |last1=Edsall |first1=Larry |title=Maserati celebrates 60th anniversary of Eldorado Racer |url=https://journal.classiccars.com/2018/07/01/maserati-celebrates-60th-anniversary-of-eldorado-racer/ |website=The ClassicCars.com Journal |date=July 2018 |access-date=6 November 2018}}
Moss's sporting attitude cost him the 1958 Formula One World Championship. When rival Mike Hawthorn was threatened with a penalty after the Portuguese Grand Prix, Moss defended him. Hawthorn was accused of reversing on the track after spinning and stalling his car on an uphill section. Moss had shouted advice to Hawthorn to steer downhill, against traffic, to bump-start the car. Moss's quick thinking, and his defence of Hawthorn before the stewards, preserved Hawthorn's 6 points for finishing in second place. Hawthorn went on to beat Moss for the championship title by one point, even though he had won only one race that year to Moss's four. Moss's loss in the championship could also be attributed to an error in communication between his pit crew and the driver at one race. A point was given for the fastest lap in each race, and the crew signaled "HAWT REC", meaning that Hawthorn had set a record lap. Moss read this as "HAWT REG" and thought that Hawthorn was making regular laps, so he did not try to set a fast lap. The crew was supposed to signal the time of the lap, so Moss would know what he had to beat.{{cite journal|last=Jenkinson|first=Denis|title=1958 Portuguese Grand Prix race report: GB 1-2-3 in Boavista|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/october-1958/31/vii-grande|journal=Motor Sport|date=October 1958|pages=677–680|volume=XXXIV|number=10|access-date=12 April 2020}}
Moss was as gifted in sports cars as in Grand Prix cars. To his victories in the Tourist Trophy, the Sebring 12 Hours and the Mille Miglia he added three consecutive wins from 1958 to 1960 in the 1000 km Nürburgring, the first two in an Aston Martin (in which he did most of the driving),{{cite web|last=Page|first=James|title=Motorsport memories: the year Aston aced it|url=https://www.classicandsportscar.com/features/motorsport-memories-year-aston-aced-it|work=Classic & Sports Car|date=29 July 2019|access-date=12 April 2020}}{{cite news|last=Williams|first=Richard|title=From Monza to Monaco: Stirling Moss's five best races|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/apr/12/stirling-moss-formula-one-best-races-from-monza-to-monaco|work=The Guardian|date=12 April 2020|access-date=12 April 2020}}ADAC 1000 km Nürburgring, Karl Ludvigsen Photograph Collection, Revs Institute, [https://library.revsinstitute.org/digital/custom/single-image?id=252785&collection=p17257coll1 Revs Digital Library].Nürburgring 1000 km, European Motorsport in the 1950s and 1960s Photograph Collection, Revs Institute, [https://library.revsinstitute.org/digital/custom/single-image?id=203989&collection=p17257coll1 Revs Digital Library]. and the third in a Maserati Tipo 61, co-driving with Dan Gurney.

Moss's Climax-engined Lotus was comparatively underpowered, but he won the 1961 Monaco Grand Prix by 3.6 seconds, beating the Ferraris of Richie Ginther, Wolfgang von Trips, and Phil Hill, and he went on to win the 1961 German Grand Prix.
In 1962, Moss crashed his Lotus in the Glover Trophy. The accident put him in a coma for a month, and for six months the left side of his body was paralysed.{{cite web|url=http://www.motorsportshalloffame.com/halloffame/1990/Stirling_Moss_main.htm|title=International Motorsports Hall of Fame|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010224090724/http://www.motorsportshalloffame.com/halloffame/1990/Stirling_Moss_main.htm|archive-date=24 February 2001}}{{YouTube | id=2uVV3VknKa0 | title=Stirling Moss Career Ending Crash}} He recovered but retired from professional racing after a test session in a Lotus 19 the following year, when he lapped a few tenths of a second slower than before. He felt that he had not regained his instinctive command of the car after recovering from the coma. He had been runner-up in the Drivers' Championship four years in a row, from 1955 to 1958, and third from 1959 to 1961.{{cite news|last=Whitmore|first=John|title=Stirling qualities|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/2740177/Stirling-qualities.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/2740177/Stirling-qualities.html |archive-date=12 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|work=The Daily Telegraph|date=4 March 2006|access-date=12 April 2020}}{{cbignore}}{{cite journal|last=Arron|first=Simon|title=Sir Stirling Moss at 90: a true racer|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/single-seaters/f1/sir-stirling-moss-90-true-racer|journal=Motor Sport|date=17 September 2019|access-date=12 April 2020}}

Although ostensibly retired from racing since 1962, Moss did make a number of one-off appearances in professional motorsport events in the following two decades. He also competed in the 1974 London-Sahara-Munich World Cup Rally in a Mercedes-Benz but retired from the event in the Algerian Sahara.Green, Evan. A Boot Full of Right Arms, Cassell Australia, 1975. The Holden Torana he shared with Jack Brabham in the 1976 Bathurst 1000 was hit from behind on the grid and eventually retired with engine failure.

The cartoon, drawn by Willie Rushton, showed him continually crashing, having his driving licence revoked and finally "hosting television programmes on subjects he knows nothing about". It also made reference to the amnesia Moss suffered from as a result of head injuries sustained in the crash at Goodwood in 1962. Although there were complaints to the magazine about the cartoons, Moss telephoned Private Eye to ask whether he could use it as a Christmas card.{{cite book|last=Carpenter|first=Humphrey|author-link=Humphrey Carpenter|title=A Great, Silly Grin: The British Satire Boom of the 1960s|url=https://archive.org/details/greatsillygrinbr00carp|url-access=registration|year=2000|publisher=PublicAffairs|location=New York|isbn=978-1-58648-081-3|page=[https://archive.org/details/greatsillygrinbr00carp/page/194 194]}}

He was fined £50 and banned from driving for one year after an incident near Chetwynd, Shropshire, when he was test-driving a Mini.{{cite news|title=Twelve months' ban and £50 fine on Stirling Moss|date=14 April 1960|work=The Times|page=6|location=London}} Moss was an accomplished woodworker and craftsman, and participated in the design and construction of several of his own homes.{{cite journal |last1=Moss |first1=Stirling |title=My Favorite Shop Projects |journal=Popular Science |issue=December 1966 |pages=157–159}}
In 2013, Moss said that if a biopic were made about his life, he would want to be portrayed by “someone masculine – not a poofter or anything like that”.{{cite news |last1=Cary |first1=Tom |title=Sir Stirling Moss: booing of Sebastian Vettel a disgrace |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/motorsport/formulaone/10351580/Sir-Stirling-Moss-booing-of-Sebastian-Vettel-a-disgrace.html |access-date=10 April 2024 |work=The Daily Telegraph |date=3 October 2013}} He stood by this comment, saying that he would have to be played by a heterosexual as he had spent his life "chasing crumpet and racing cars".{{cite news |title=Stirling Moss: A car racer driven by danger |url=https://www.theaustralian.com.au/world/the-times/stirling-moss-a-car-racer-driven-by-danger/news-story/7e1145e3f4b6d60ad3e910a3c16b6d0e |access-date=10 April 2024 |work=The Australian |date=13 April 2020}} Moss also believed that women lack the "mental aptitude" for Formula One.{{cite news |last1=Smith |first1=Aidan |title=Interview: Sir Stirling Moss, ex-racing driver |url=https://www.scotsman.com/sport/interview-sir-stirling-moss-ex-racing-driver-1532300 |access-date=10 April 2024 |work=The Scotsman |date=5 July 2014}}
Moss's 80th birthday, on 17 September 2009, fell on the eve of the Goodwood Revival and Lord March celebrated with an 80-car parade on each of the three days. Moss drove a different car each day: a Mercedes-Benz W196 (an open-wheel variant), the Lotus 18 in which he had won the 1961 Monaco GP, and an Aston Martin DBR1.{{cite web |url=http://www.stirlingmoss.com/video/80th-birthday-tribute-goodwood-revival-2009 |title=80th Birthday tribute at Goodwood Revival 2009 |access-date=4 November 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141104153434/http://www.stirlingmoss.com/video/80th-birthday-tribute-goodwood-revival-2009 |archive-date=4 November 2014 |url-status=dead}} On 7 March 2010, Moss broke both ankles and four bones in a foot, and also chipped four vertebrae and suffered skin lesions, when he plunged down a lift shaft at his home.{{cite news|title=Stirling Moss falls down lift shaft|work=Eurosport|publisher=TF1 Group; Thomson Reuters|url=http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/08032010/58/stirling-moss-falls-lift-shaft.html/|date=8 March 2010|access-date=8 March 2010}}{{cite news|last=Noble|first=Jonathan|title=Moss injured in lift accident|work=Autosport|publisher=Haymarket Media Group|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/81925|date=8 March 2010|access-date=8 March 2010}} In December 2016, he was admitted to hospital in Singapore with a serious chest infection.{{cite web|title=Sir Stirling Moss: Motor racing legend 'stable' in hospital with chest infection|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/38624865|website=BBC Sport|access-date=19 January 2017|date=14 January 2017}} As a result of this illness and a subsequent lengthy recovery period, Moss announced his retirement from public life in January 2018.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/42748656|title=Sir Stirling Moss to retire from public life after illness|date=19 January 2018|last=Benson|first=Andrew|work=BBC News|access-date=20 January 2018}}
Moss died of cardio-respiratory failure at his home in Mayfair, London, on 12 April 2020, aged 90, after a long illness.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/52261216|title=Sir Stirling Moss: Motor racing legend dies aged 90 after long illness|date=12 April 2020|work=BBC Sport|access-date=12 April 2020}}{{cite news|last=Young|first=Alex|title=Sir Stirling Moss dead: British motorsport legend passes away, aged 90|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/british-motorsport-legend-sir-stirling-moss-dies-aged-90-a4412776.html|work=Evening Standard|date=12 April 2020|access-date=12 April 2020}}
