Hamilton Pays Tribute To ‘Legend’ Moss

Lewis Hamilton says he “clicked” with Sir Stirling Moss as they struck up a great friendship

Formula 1’s six-time champion Lewis Hamilton has paid tribute to his friend and “racing legend” Sir Stirling Moss.

Moss, the British racing driver who ranked as an all-time Formula 1 great despite never winning the world title, passed away on Easter Sunday, aged 90.

“Today we say goodbye to Sir Stirling Moss, the racing legend,” said Hamilton. “I think it’s important that we celebrate his incredible life and the great man he was.

“Saying goodbye is never easy and can be sad but he will always be here, in our memories and will always be such a huge part of British Motorsports Heritage.”

Hamilton and Moss both drove for Mercedes, and became increasingly close after Lewis' move to the Silver Arrows in 2013.

“I certainly will miss our conversations,” Hamilton added. “To be honest, it was such an unusual pairing, our friendship. Two people from massively different times and backgrounds but we clicked and ultimately found that the love for racing we both shared made us comrades.

“I am truly grateful to have had these special moments with him. Sending my prayers and thoughts to his family. May he rest in peace.” (Sky Sports)
