'One lap too many': Motorsport 'icon and legend' Stirling Moss dies, aged 90

Stirling Moss, widely-regarded as the greatest motor racing driver never to win the world title, has died aged 90 following a long illness.

"It was one lap too many," his wife Susie Moss told Britain's Press Association on Sunday.

"He just closed his eyes."
"He walked like a racing driver, he talked like a racing driver, he behaved like a racing driver should behave."
Former England striker Gary Lineker posted on Instagram: "Sir Stirling Moss has reached life's checkered flag, and what a race he drove. Wonderful driver and a lovely man. RIP."

"I had no hesitation in doing it," Moss recalled. "I can't see how this is open to debate. The fact that he was my only rival in the championship didn't come into my thinking. Absolutely not."
"Remarkable man. Survived the most dangerous era of motorsport and died today aged 90. He had such great stories to tell, and it was a privilege to know him."
