STIRLING CRAUFORD MOSS (1920) – Englishman
There are players, who never achieved the highest marks in formula motor racing 1, which is considered to be the title of world champion, and yet they are ranked among the best players of all time. A typical example of this is the English player Stirling Moss, to this day considered to be the greatest figure of English motor sport. In his peculiar understanding of courage and fear, he was most like Nuvolari. He also agreed with him in terms of his incredible will to fight, guided by the principle of "win or fall”. His bad luck was that, that he usually had a car a little bit than the weaker competitor, although he wanted to stubbornly extract the maximum possible out of it. Juan Fangio was his great driving style teacher, with which in 1955 of the year he created a great two-person Mercedes team. Moss preferred all four wheel skid, and you can say here, that he had led him to unprecedented perfection. He has driven many different cars during his career, from Jaguar through Maserati, Mercedes and Vanwall all the way to Cooper and Lotus-Climax. One of his greatest successes is the first place in the Grand Prix of Germany in 1961 year. His victory over the entire Ferrari team led by world champion Phil Hill can be compared to Nuvolari's victory of the year 1935, given the fact, that he had a much weaker Lotus at his disposal. After the accident at Good-wood on Easter Monday 1962 year he lost many of his abilities, especially the ability to react quickly, so he decided to withdraw from the world of motorsport.
