He was truly an inspiration on the tracks. Once in 1958, his true sportsmanship made him lose the title of Grands Prix by a single point when he defended his rival from an unjustified penalty. This is one of the reasons why his passing has stirred up the sports racing world and the discovery is considered one of the most significant automotive news in history.

Moss became the first-ever British driver to win a Grand Prix title in the year 1955 at Aintree.

Born to Alfred, an amateur racer, and Aileen, this British legend was knighted in the year 2000. 

Many like Johnny Herbert and Martin Brundle commented on Twitter regarding the loss of such a legend. “He had a press on style on the track and in life. Remarkable man.”
