Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F1 Party? (no spoiler)

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

IMHO (and the opinion of countless oldtimers like myself) Sir Stirling was the 
greatest F1 driver never to have won the WC. He was the consumate professional 
who's talents stood out above all rivals except  Juan Manuel Fangio. Moss was 
ALWAYS 10 tenths no matter his position in the race. It's a shame that he stuck 
to driving non-works cars except for his drive with Mercedes as #2 where he was 
told to let the #1 driver, Fangio win. He did win the British GP that year 
after Fangio DNF'd. I only saw Moss drive once, in a Lotus at the 1960 USGP 
held at Riverside in California. 'Black' Jack Brahbam won after Stirling's car 
failed him yet again.

My wife and sons (Jonah Enzo and Stirling*) were returning home from dinner
this evening. On the way through the neighborhood, we passed a house with
about a dozen+ cars parked in front.

 

"Hey Honey!  I wonder if somebody is having an F1 party!?"

"Huh?"

"Look at all the cars, looks like a party, and it's F1 season!"  

 

"Um. yeah. could be. or. St. Patrick's Day."

 

"Oh, yeah, that's probably it."

 

It's all a matter of priorities I guess.

 

Forza!

(* He's named after Stirling Moss, BUT, in his first hour of life, his name
was mis-spelled 3 times. So, to save him ungodly amounts of mis-spelled
documents, we decided to go with the U.S. version "Sterling". Sad, but to
this day everyone except my Grandfather has spelled it "Sterling".)
