Sir Stirling Moss retires at last

[The Black Knight]

He's a man I'm not very fond of myself but I very much respect him and his contributions to the world of motor racing. I regard him as a brilliant driver but sadly he will never be an all time great in my book. Great great driver, yes. All time great, no! However, 100% respect to him for staying racing so long and knowing when to finally call it a day with mucho dignity.

Interested to know and not for any stupid reasons like many posts.

Why are you not very fond of him?

Anyone who said a 7 time WDC was lucky to win his championships is daft. He has lost a plot a bit in recent years especially with regards to Schuey. Maybe it's age though

Could be.

The whole world may seem alot different and freaky when your 81.

Or maybe it's a matter of opinion.

A valid opinion and one held by many.

Well if it is then his opinoin has changed because he was well able to praise Schumacher's performances in his early years, even at Ferrari.

As far as I'm concerned, Stirling Moss is an idiot. He wasn't always that way though. He clearly has gone banana's with age.

It's not a valid opinion. You can't wain 7 WDC by luck. It's not possible. David Coulthard himself said he believes Schumacher to be the most complete driver to ever compete in the sport. There are plenty others around like him that also believe that. The records also show the same. Anyone who says that Schumacher was lucky to win 7WDC after the perfomances he produced throughout his career is an absolute idiot.

Ah, so this explains the lucid recollections and coherent comments I hear when he speaks, does it?

According to whom? There is a degree of luck, at the very least, involved in most things.
