He epitomizes the gentlemanly side of motorsport. Thank you for letting him take over the reins for a day. Brilliant idea. I once saw him race in the late 1950s at Watkins Glen Formula Libre race in October - it snowed for the last few laps !! Once at Sebring some young guys were shouting "Hey Stirl" in order to get a photo. Moss did not respond. My friend said "Excuse me Mr. Moss" and he turned and the resulting photo is a gem. Let's hope F-1 can find it's way back to the core values we hold so dearly.
