Eerder vandaag kwam het droevige nieuws naar buiten dat Formule 1-legende Sir Stirling Moss vanochtend op 90-jarige leeftijd is overleden. Diverse teams en (oud-)coureurs schenken op social media aandacht aan zijn plotselinge overlijden en zijn prachtige carrière.

Moss kampte al een paar jaar met gezondheidsproblemen. De racelegende liep tijdens een vakantie in december 2016 een ernstige infectie aan de borst op, waar hij nooit meer volledig van hersteld is. Begin 2018 besloot de Brit dan ook om zich terug te trekken uit het publieke leven zodat hij meer tijd door kon brengen met zijn familie. In de vroege uren van eerste paasdag overleed de voormalig Formule 1-coureur, in het bijzijn van zijn vrouw in Londen. Op social media brengen diverse teams en (oud-)coureurs een eerbetoon aan de legendarische oud-coureur.

RIP Sir Stirling Moss. A mighty racer and gentleman. He had a press on style on the track and in life. 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. 😢
