LONDON (AP) — Motor racing great Stirling Moss has died at the age of 90. The daring and speed-loving Englishman was widely regarded as the greatest Formula One driver never to win the world championship. Moss' wife said he died peacefully at his London home following a long illness. Susan Moss says “it was one lap too many. He just closed his eyes.” Moss was affectionately known as “Mr. Motor Racing" and had a fearless and often reckless attitude. That took a toll on his slight body and his career ended at age 31 after a horrific crash. Moss won 16 of the 66 F1 races he entered. Moss was hospitalized with a chest infection in 2016 that led to him retiring from public life in 2018.
