He's not dead he's just one lap ahead of us racing with the other greats

[@davidvalencia129]

Thats the Silver Arrows showing dominance.

[@josezurita3742]

Last Easter Sunday April 12, 2020 in the sky the following scene is very likely: Juan Manuel Fangio: -You finally arrived, kid! It was time! How glad I am to see you again! The boys are waiting for you to run again! Although on the other side I am sad, because due to the damn covid-19 current Formula 1 drivers will not be able to say goodbye as you deserved it! God bless you, Stirling! We will never forget you! My sincere condolences to his family and close friends from Venezuela.

Phil Taylor I never met him but my dad did at a promotional event for GM. He signed a baseball cap which my dad gave to me and is hung on my wall as a treasured possession. Will miss Sir Sterling - a true legend from the most romantic era of motor racing.

I’m proud to have had the opportunity to restore one of his race cars. Not sure which one. I did so many famous race cars such as Jack Brabham’s, Fangio’s, Brock’s A9X, and lots of others including one of the GT40’s that beat Ferrari at LeMans. It all seems a world away now.

I once met Sir Stirling Moss, it was in 2011, he was on his scooter with 3 'heavies' but i stuck my hand and wished him the best and he returned the handshake and wished me the same. It made my year and I think in through he is as revered as the GOAT's Fangio and Clark. May he be racing all the greats and hopes Hawthorn returns the favour.

A true racing legend and a champion gentlemen RIP🏎😎👍

[@allansbullet]

Although never a World Champion, he was THE Champion in many people's eyes. I read of and knew his exploits when I was a kid of 9 or 10 in Canada (not exactly a hotbed of Formula 1 in those days of the late 1950's!) and first got interested in motor racing, and knew of his experiences with Mercedes and Vanwall and Cooper. After his accident at Goodwood, I actually got to see him on TV, and what an absolute gentleman!! He lived his life as one of the classiest motor racing people EVER!! Rest in peace Sir Stirling, and so pleased you lived until 90 years old, when many drivers of your generation didn't live past their 30's.

My wife and I had a wonderful twenty minutes with Sir Sterling at The Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca with nobody else while he waited for his son to make a phone call from pay phone at the track near the petrol depot. I scampered away to quickly locate a pen for an autograph. Upon my short return, the two of them were chatting like old friends! We both smile fondly on our short but epic time with the greatest driver to have never been World Champion. When he graciously signed a photograph of himself from a Jesse Alexander item I had just purchased, his parting remark was a simple “Cheerio!” R.I.P. Sir Sterling.

[@areyouundoingthatorwhat9181]

I remember being about eleven and my dad taking me to a classics day where Stirling was driving,one thing I noticed that strangely stood out was that as the other drivers came past the look of concentration on their faces was noticeable a sort of focused look,as Stirling came past he could have easily been asleep.They weren't at race speed but also not hanging around. That moment stuck with me more vividly than the rest of the days action,On the return journey home in between the bombardment of questions my dad faced he explained that it was the Mark of a natural talent,the ability to excel without seemingly trying,modesty with true talent are a great combination,some may remember(it may still happen) that getting caught speeding usually was met with plod saying "Who do you think you are,Stirling Moss?".

[@redd605]

He was the complete racing driver won most races in any forms of racing he entered

[@chriscorlett3083]

Years ago Stirling told me about racing in the Empire Trophy races on the Isle of Man in the 1950s. He was driving a Jaguar C type and in practice the team experimented with what Stirling called Ship to Shore radio supplied by PYE. From the TT grandstand you took a right turn onto Ballanard Road which is still bumpy today. The road would see off the valves and rendered communication useless.So pit stops were a bit bizarre with mechanics servicing the car and PYE technicians changing vales. Years later ,at Goodwood I saw him on crutches, I asked what he'd done ,and the answer was...Scooter, Roundabout...Diesel !!! For someone who had been in a coma he still had a good memory and would pick my face out in a crowd ,and say Hello old boy ,how things on the Isle of Man. A true gentleman and fantastic driver. RIP Stirling.
