A Belated Birthday Note
Sir Stirling Moss, 80
Moss has little hesitation in naming Fangio the greatest driver of his day, just as he considers Senna the modern equivalent. Asked about his own place, he hesitates.
"Where do I put myself? I don't know really," he said. "I've never deeply thought about it. I don't want to. In a sportscar, I think I was the best. Definitely.
"There was nobody I really felt I couldn't beat. In Formula One, I think I was running pretty close to Fangio but I couldn't beat him."
