Sir Stirling Moss retires at last
This news broke yesterday. The key sentence is
On his retirement Stirling said “This afternoon I scared myself and I have always said that if I felt I was not up to it or that I was getting in the way of fellow competitors, then I would retire”.Duncan Rollo

Shame He was in the frame to replace Perez after he gave up on his Sauber seat this weekend.

No but he is a legend, and it has always been great to see him driving his old cars at Goodwood and alike.
Probably is about time to retire though.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

didn't he fall down a lift shaft last year? and was still racing at Le Mans in the legends this week! pity he had to call it a day, but at 81 its probably fair enough
"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

He has had a better career than many Champions... I'm sure hanging up the driving gloves will not mean he will just stay at home... expect to see him at all the usual gatherings for a while yet.

Its a mark of the man that, instead of carrying on and giving it anything less than 100%, he recognises his limitations and calls it a day. I expect we'll still see him behind the wheel for slow demo runs up goodwood hill perhaps.
All other opinions are wrong....

I hope I can still get it up at 81 :

Nope, Article 12.1.3 has this covered, must use ballast or dummy unit.
