	8W - Who? - Stirling Moss
		The first thing Moss and Gregory noticed of the interest of Mercedes-Benz was a brief and factual telegramme by Daimler-Benz AG informing about the availability of Stirling Moss for 1955.
		Stirling's gut reaction was no. He had a signed contract with Shell-Mex and BP for 1954 and the whole of 1955 and was sure of a sponsorship clash with Mercedes suppliers Castrol.
		The claim was understandable as Moss had quickly become the lead Maserati driver since his display at the 1954 Italian GP and Orsi wasn't particularly keen to see the second best driver of the world go off and team up with Fangio, doubling Maserati's task.

	Stirling Moss, OBE
		The truth is, I hadn't articulated my interest—fascination?—with Stirling Moss until it dawned on me he was one of the most mentioned persons on this site (after Your OBedient Servant and Bob Munns) (And Margarita) (He ranks right up there, anyway).

	F1 News - Grandprix.com > GP Encyclopedia > Drivers > Sir Stirling Moss
		Where his friend, mentor and arch-rival Juan-Manuel Fangio excelled in Grand Prix racing, Moss was a brilliantly versatile all-rounder who could perform as well in grueling sportscar events such as Le Mans, the Targa Florio or the Tourist Trophy as he did in Formula One.
		In the latter, Moss was instrumental in breaking the German/Italian stranglehold on F1.
		For Moss the manner in which the battle was fought was as important as the outcome, and this sporting attitude cost him the 1958 World Championship when he stood up for rival Mike Hawthorn, who faced a penalty in Portugal that would, in retrospect, have denied him the points that he needed to beat Moss.

		Moss rose to the top in an era when death on the track was a commonplace hazard; when drivers squeezed astonishing speeds out of cars, that in safety and handling terms would compare unfavourably with a modern-day family runabout.
		Moss is still alive(thankfully!)and really good biographies never seem to be written while the subject is still around.
