The Anonymous Widower

Stirling Moss

Stirling Moss has just been on Radio 5 talking about his new book, All My Races.

I was fourteen when I saw him bring off one of the most difficult wins of all time.  It was in Monaco in 1961.  He was on pole and managed to keep in front of the three Ferraris after taking the lead early on.  They were much more powerful cars and as they harried Stirling’s Lotus for lap after lap, it would only be a matter of time before they overwhelmed him.

But that time never came.  There’s a video with a few shots of the race.

I shall be buying the book.
