Archive - Unedited Interview with Motor Racing legend Sir Stirling Moss. In this interview, he talks about his involvement in the rather wacky motorsport of lawnmower racing. He was there from the very start of this rather British eccentric motorsport.
He won 16 of the 66 Grand Prix in which he competed from 1951-to 66. He was the first British F1 driver to win his home race.
Among his greatest victories were the 1961 Monaco Grand Prix, which he won in a Lotus against the faster Ferraris, and the 1955 Mille Miglia, when he set a new course record in the famous 1,000-mile race around Italy.
He famously lost out on the F1 title in 1958 to countryman Mike Hawthorn after vouching for his rival and preventing him from being disqualified when he was accused of reversing on track in the late-season Portuguese Grand Prix.
Moss was effectively forced to retire from top-level motorsport in 1962 after a crash at Goodwood left him in a coma for a month and partially paralysed for six months.
This was shot around August 1998 in Central London.
