I was at Goodwood Revival about ten years ago. On another table in the tent, a family were celebrating with their elderly father his birthday. The son had come across Sir Stirling in the paddock and asked if he would come over and say hello. The look on the fathers face was just incredible when Sir Stirling not only appeared and wished him happy birthday but sat down at the table and talked with him for about half an hour. Not just an outstanding racing driver but a wonderfully generous human being.

I met Stirling Moss at a car show at the NEC when I was about 8 back in the mid 70’s. He signed an autograph and then my Dad asked me to take a picture of him with Stirling. I stood a few meters back trying to frame the photo and people kept walking in front of me oblivious to what I was trying to do. I remember him barking at the crowd “Can’t you see the boy is trying to take a photo”! People immediately stopped and I got the photo. A real gentleman and a legendary driver. So very sad to hear the news.

Watching this I could not help but realize that Sir Jackie Stewart is the very equal measure of the man he is here to heap earned praise upon.

A mental image of Jackie Stewart quietly sitting with a fading Stirling Moss and holding his hand will long live in my mind. How lovely.

When f1 finally starts, I hope the powers at f1 do him proud with some sort of Tribute

A gentleman sportsman and legend. We have Moss corner here at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park which will be forever known as Mosport. RIP Sir Sterling.

A lovely tribute of this king of a man. Rest in peace Sir Stirling Moss ❤️

Love Jackie telling story about Stirling...sad loss of a great racer...

RIP Sir Stirling Moss - So many great TV feature pieces over the years of watch F1 on Sir Moss, made even the younger generation sit up and listen when he spoke! Rest Well Sir.

Rest in perfect peace Boss! Thank you for everything! What a legend

I had the pleasure of meeting him once and I was looking down an old racing car! this man started talking to me and I did not realise it was Sir. Stirling Moss until I looked up! He really was a true Gentleman! that era made people tough as my mum was born in 1924 and died last year aged 95 that era made folks tough! R.I.P Sir Stirling Moss!

Alf Francis was Stirling Moss mechanic.

What a AMAZING tribute to Sir Sterling. Jackie Stewart brought me to tears. Good job gents My dad met Sterling Moss and took a picture of him at a vintage race meet at Shannonville Race track in Ontario Canada in the 80's. If memory serves me right, one of his Mercedes racing cars were there.

Anytime I hear his name mentioned, I always think of what he said ' If you are comfortable when you are driving, then you are not going fast enough " I love that comment from a great man in every sense of the word.

I could listen to Jackie talk all day, especially about Sir Stirling Moss.

We've lost a real gentleman and a true Legend. Rip Sir Stirling.🇬🇧

Brilliant show - so cleverly done. They were all great, but Jackie was outstanding - one maestro paying a wonderful tribute to another.

The Man was a giant of our sport. RIP Sir Stirling.

Exceptional for a exceptional man. Mr. motor racing.

Stirling Moss what a legend

JYS is another living legend. Also the oldest surviving F1 world champion.

RIP Sir Stirling Moss, would be great to have a statue of him at Silverstone

Will always be an F1 champion in my books, absolute legend

I was born in the late 60s, and all I could ever hear from my father was about the incredible Stirling Moss...how in one race he was at the back at a some point, and he fought his way back to a win with a notable margin. He's the Bruce Lee of car racing; classy and deadly.

priceless memories and conversation. thank you

About 4 months ago, as I was approaching a road junction in Mayfair on a beautiful spring day, a couple walked across the road in front of my car as I slowed. I recognised Lady Moss and then Sir Stirling. At the time I had passengers in the car but I so wish I'd given a little toot of the horn & a wave of acknowledgement to probably the greatest racing driver this country has ever produced. R.I.P. Sir Stirling, you sir are a legend 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Undoubtedly one of the great legends of motorsports, extraordinary driver and great person, a great loss for everyone, always Sir Stirling Moss.

A wonderful tribute programme to an outstanding person. Stirling was my teenage hero as I am sure he was to millions of other enthusiasts. Congrats to you, Simon, Sir Jackie et al.

What a lovely classy tribute to such a legend ! Sir Jackie is a jem as well !

This was absolutely well done and just what I needed. Moss was my hero. Simon and crew, wonderful job. Thank you very much for this wonderful remembrance.

I had the huge honour of meeting Sir Stirling at the Melbourne Grand Prix in 2004. He was such a lovely man and a true gentleman

What a gentleman. What's a racer. What a masterful human being. Rest In Peace Sir. 🏁♥️🏁

Happy you did this feature!

A wonderful overview of a special man by special men. Thank you. I felt personally part of the conversation.

It's always surreal watching legends of the sport talking about legends of the sport from an earlier time. But seeing Sir Jackie talking about Sir Stirling is absolutely incredible, even in such a trying time. There will be some who are not as clued up on history who may not have known who Stirling Moss was - everything they needed to know about one of the greatest people ever to be involved in the sport can be found in this video.

Hopefully Jackie Stewart won't get cut off like he was by Radio 4 on Sunday

RIP Sir Stirling Moss, I will always remember the commentaries he did with Tony jardine back in 1988

God bless Stirling you are a legend RIP ❤️🇬🇧

Thanks all nice to see you Jackie hope you're all keeping well. Stirling a true gent amazing driver risk taker hugely missed let's celebrate his life the awesome one it is

Wonderful session and a great tribute - everyone on the Vodcast is a class act.

RIP Mr. Sir Stirling Moss. Jackie Stewart describing him as such an ideal picture of a racing driver is spot on and the two are for me connected forever as they showed up frequently together. Honored to had the chance to meet and talk to Sir. Moss, Sir Stewart and Sir Brabham back in 2003 at the Australian GP. All three so down to earth and close to the fans.

It’s good to celebrate someone who enjoyed their long life!. Driving cars and chatting up crumpet!. R.I.P Sir Sterling.

Long live King Moss🏎🏎🏎🏎

I had the privilege to race during the PIRELLI Classic Marathon of 1990 and 1991where he was racing with an MGB, British racing green number 7 and had some interaction with him during the 7 days long marathon. What a character and a gentlemen, good memories of the nights spent at chatting about his racing career.RIP Sir!!

Too young to know or remember anything about Sir Stirling, but a wonderful racer, legend, and pioneer in modern F1 and racing in general. RIP :(

A wonderful trip down memory lane. Thank you guys for such a touching tribute. I am sure Stirling is racing around Heavens F1 circuit as we speak .

Rest in peace Sir Stirling, thank you for everything....

Wonderful tribute gentlemen, thank you.

A lovely guy and great ambassador to F1.....a sad loss 😢

What a super program! I really like the format where you guys are all at home - I think it made it all the more personal! Legend is an often overused term, but His behavior, his achievements, actions and legacy enshrine the great man as a legend! I bet the Grand Prix parties were also legendary! Many allude to them, without giving much detail - enough said! :)

How can people even dislike this, shame on them. RIP Sir Stirling you will always be missed. Fantastic to hear from you all as per usual and especially from Sir Jackie, what a story teller.

A truly recognised great person and racing driver. Yesterday I followed Spanish and German TV and both gave the sad news. RIP Sir Stirling (not Sterling :)) Moss

please keep these vodcasts once the season resumes. Really enjoyable.this was a great tribute and Martin summed it up well.

Rest in peace Sir Stirling Moss!

My wife said with his passing more people would understand who he was when she tells the story that her driving instructor used to say ‘Who do you think you are Stirling Moss’...she only learnt to drive 32 years ago 🙂

Jackie looked like the youngest person on the video. " But ! Thank you for the memories Sir Stirling. You were a gentleman of the highest calibre. And a pretty good racing driver too."

RIP Stirling. P.S. Damon looks like a Greek philosopher.

So sad to have to say GOODBYE go a special gentleman who was such a real ambassador for Motorsport. I had the privilege of meeting Sir Stirling in person ONCE only at a book signing of his newly published book "STIRLING MOSS --All my Races" That was at N.E.C. BIRMINGHAM at Autosport International The Racing Car Show ten years ago ( Jan. 2010) I was also privileged to see him race LIVE ONCE ONLY but that was a long time ago way back in Sept.1955 in the R.A.C. Tourist Throphy Race at the DUNDROD N/ IRELAND( road circuit) when I was just a young 15- y/old . when he won the race driving a Mercedes Benz 300 S.L.R. Car no 10 it was on his 26 th birthday 17 th Sept.1955 I now feel Imust share this little story with all you Motorsport fans out there At the book launch/ signing at the N.E.C. there was quite a queue of people behind me but Sir Stirling ( the true gentleman that he was ) gave me time for a little chat and I took the opportunity of mentioning the only race I saw him race "live" in at the Dundrod Circuit in 1955 and asked him what he thought of that circuit to which he replied to me with a "personal" answer ,"DO YOU KNOW. LIAM THAT WAS A REAL MAN'S CIRCUIT" needless to say that made my day as we shook hands after the book signing NOW I want to thank you all at Sky F,1 for putting this special tribute to Sir Stirling and leave you with a few facts and statistics about him. Between March 1947 and April 1962 (when his racing career was prematurely ended at Goodwood on Easter Monday when he crashed whilst driving a Lotus 18/21) he competed in 585 Motorsport Events / finished in 387 of them and won 216 He started 66 World Championship Grands Prix. Won 16 of them and also started from POLE in 16 of them.. He was never to become WORLD CHAMPION Though he was VERY WORTHY TO BE ONE but he was RUNNER UP 4 times and FINISHED THIRD IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP 3 Times /some achievement. This book " STIRLING MOSS----ALL MY RACES" is a must read for any MOTORSPORT ENTHUSIAST It gives a report by Sir Stirling on EVERY ONE of his 585 races I was just reading it when I noticed your podcast on my mob./ Phone this evening. REST IN PEACE SIR STIRLING! Liam Tomlinson.

An absolute gentleman on and off the track, he will always be remembered, his name will never die

I was lucky enough to meet him a few years ago at an office opening. He hung around and chatted with people for ages, a real gent and generous with his time. RIP Sir Stirling

R.I.P Sir Sterling Nothing to say your Experience and Chivalry says it all Sleep Tight

Back in the late fifties I was lucky enough to have seen Stirling Moss race at The British Grand Prix at Aintree he was brilliant although he retired from the race he took over the drive of the 4 wheel drive Ferguson and he drove it superbly can any one remember the Year please.

I was fortunate enough to watch him race at Laguna Seca when I was a young, sports car enthusiast. He was one of my driving heroes. Godspeed and RIP, Sir.

Great tribute and thanks for taking the time to put this together guys

Beyond admiration!!❤️

Fantastic!! What a great man he was to befriend all the British drivers as they came along. He was an icon .

SiR STIRLING MOSS WAS LiKe THE LiViNG DEFINITION FOR THE WORD - M A N !! More than any F1 Champ!! 🏆 RiP Razor RACER!

Martin Brundle!, He needs a knighthood! A true national treasure.

Great driver great and passionate soul god speed

Moss = True Legend!

Nice insight !!

Fantastic,ty Sky from an Aussie 🇬🇧🇦🇺

RIP Sir Stirling Moss Cheers from Brazil

Alf Francis,Mosses Mech. RIP Sir Stirling!

I wish I could press LIKE 1000 times on this...thanks guys...loved every minute of this.

I love this style of interview , I feel part of a convo

I never knew about Stirling Moss's F1 career. I only knew about him competing in Targa Tasmania back in 1992. 20th overall and 1st in his class in a Ford Shelby Mustang.

He is the best example of how the accumulation of world titles, as a measure of a drivers greatness, is completely meaningless. He was better than many many multi world champions......I won't list them here not to start another debate altogether. As for my idol, I will always remember what Moss once said "He achieved a position that in my mind is equalled only probably by Fangio". RIP

Thanks for this guys.

It is impossible to imagine how fast he has gone in Mille Miglia '55 with the 300 SLR, I believe I read in a german classic magazine 30 years it must have been over 260 and more km/h the LeMans Version of the car with 290 net HP on the rear axle was well able to reach 290 km/h top speed. There was one coupe version of the famous engineer from Mercedes Rudi Uhlenhaut and he used to drive this in a mansion area of Stuttgart up the hills with a roar and he reached nearly 80 miles in second gear up the hill.

Such a great loss.

Rest in peace

The mechanic that worked with Stirling was Alf Francis

I think the time has come to dedicate the entire FOS 2020 to Stirling. No question. And for that matter, the Revival... how about combining the two, if that's even possible. Perhaps call the combined event 'Goodwood's Stirling Festival'.

I believe Tony Brooks is the last remaining driver now from the 1950’s. Shame we are not running at the moment, racing on would be the best tribute to the man.

Met him years ago with my dad who was knocking on at the time and watched him in his pomp , Stirling said how nice to meet you boy to my dad ! Now I know it was his normal greeting , I thought he was taking the piss !

Jackie is the best

Very sad news. Saw him at Goodwood Festival of Speed years ago just walking around the pits with everyone else!

re jackie true gent like stirling !

Martins words st the end, about wishing you'd seen them even more. The finality of death is agony for people arpund you, and, if youve wasted years and years on drugs and BS youve got those regrets about yourself. Sir Stirling won't have had any of those demons...

That elevator story us crazy! Wow

When Ricky Fulton uses your name in his show you know you have made it .Right Stirling oot the car

I believe the mechanic Jackie referred to was Alf Francis.

when simon said about sir stirling being "the greatest driver never to win a championship"...i had an instant thought of poor niko hulkenberg the greatest driver never to achieve a podium

Not needed now but I was just going to remind everyone that Alf Frances was Stirling’s mechanic.

Moss was second to Fangio in the 1955-7 championships, when Fangio was dominant. Stirling real chance was in 1958-9. The 1958 Championship was the great duel between Moss and Hawthorn the classic contest between two very different but similar class in both senses drivers like Hunt and Lauda. In some ways the Hawthorn v Moss duel in 1958 was far more equal than now seen. In many ways the Dino 246 of Hawthorn was the better car except at the Dutch GP at Zandroot which was more like a modern circuit and Vanwalls, BRM or a Lotus worked a Ferrari was useless their. Hawthorn really had the Monaco and Italian races won in 58, when engine and clutch problems retired and slowed the car. Ferrari functioned as a team, Collins drove to support Mike. Brooks was in many ways an equal number one and sometimes Brooks had the better car and won 3 GP in 58, Moss 4GP. The Milla Miglia like the Targa were part of then 1955 were part of the world sports car championship which was probably more important than F1 that year, as Mercedes had no competition in F1 were in the Sports cars Jaguar was a equal rival for Mercedes and Aston Martin and Ferrari were also competitive. The Milla Miglia and Targa were road races and really outdated , even in 1955. In those Italian road races, Fangio just cruised (Fangio was 2nd in the 55 Milla Miglia) and said you 'can not really drive fast on those Italian roads, if you have any moral conscience .' Compared with the Dunrod Tourist Trophy and Le Mans which were the great 3 way Hawthorn, Fangio , Moss duels. Moss win at Dunrod was actually a vastly great victory.But because Moss defected from Jaguar to drive for Mercedes in 1955, ten years after WW2 , and French occupation when even German rearmament was controversial, in many ways the drives of Hawthorn in the type Jag made him far more a hero for the British establishment and public school boys.

Rex Woodgate? (Mechanic)

What's Steve jobs doing on here? (Darn auto collect )

I love Stirling Moss because he was no namby pamby,goodness can you imagine what it'll be like when hamiltons in his 50's talking to the younger generation about ali g and blm ? no nor can i !

Alf Francis
