Sir Patrick Stewart hosts this documentary where he spends time with motor sports legend Sir Stirling Moss in order to discover and learn more about the great man and his life.
I couldn't agree more. I am a bit sad really, that I didn't see and/or meet Sir Stirling himself, when he was still in reasonably good health participating at the Ennstal Classic or Schloß Dyk or the Goodwood events. :-(
I don't care if Sir Stewart was acting at parts. The joy and camaraderie of these men and the absolute happiness of their faces as they drive these machines is fantastic. This may be one of my most favorite auto documentaries.
Today Easter Sunday April 12, 2020, died in London at the age of 90 Sir Stirling Moss "The Champion without a Crown" At this time in the sky (4:00 p.m.) the following scene is very likely: Juan Manuel Fangio: -You finally arrived, kid! It was time! How glad I am to see you again! The boys are waiting for you to run again! Although I am sad because due to the damn covid-19 current Formula 1 drivers will not be able to say goodbye as you deserved it! God bless you, Stirling! We will never forget you! My sinceres condolences to his family and close friends from Venezuela.
Absolutely stellar documentary. The music, archive footage, heartfelt conversations, and race recreations make this one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. 10/10. Thank you so much for sharing this video with the world. Can't wait to show this to others. Thank you. Long live Sir Stirling Moss!
I´m not an English, born in 1974 I have never seen Sir Sterling Moss live on track, but for me he is the embodiment of a perfect Racer, an absolutely badass as well as a Gentlemen. He was the one to compare and to challenge your skills and your attitude with. I admire him the most of all Racing legends!
You couldn't have hoped to have a better man to interview Moss than Patrick Stewart. Having watched Moss speak to his co-driver in the Mille Miglia in very unflattering language, it's clear that Stirling didn't suffer fools.... so it was heartwarming to see him find a kindred spirit in Patrick Stewart. Theres a clear warmth between them.
What a wonderful moment the two gentlemen approaching the Gullwing. You can tell there is genuine joy and happiness in one, and humble pride in the other face. And, even not a native English speaker, listening to them alone is a pleasure in times of Twitter et co.
I have always admired Sir Stirling Moss. His image was on my first slot car set in 1963. I am privileged to visit the Aston Martin DB1 he drove at the Simeone Automotive Museum in Philadelphia, PA, USA. It sits among many iconic machines in motorsports history. A top rated museum thanks to the late Dr. Frederick Simeone.
90 years. Wow, what a ride! Famous, fun, renowned, great sense of humor, didn't take himself so seriously, and on and on! What a person he was. God will welcome him with open arms to Heaven.
Sir Stirling said there was nothing better at 18 or 19 driving around Europe every weekend meeting crumpet. I'm sure Sir Patrick would agree it was better than meeting Klingons!
Wonderful episode. The Barry Sheene episode was terrible in the hands of Vic Reeves. Well done Patrick you are clearly a genuine motor racing fan and RIP Sir Moss.
What a beautiful Tribute. RIP Sterling, a true champion of the highest virtue. What a driver! Such respect for Fangio & you. The Mille Meglia! Bravo. Respect, the drivers' driver! You and Fangio in '55 What a trauma & Your teamate too The two steering wheels that almost broke you mounted & displayed with top trophy's!! :-) Brilliant! Monte Carlo with footpaths & trees on track :0... The rawness of it all. Spa was rural farm roads!! LEGEND. Thanks for being you
With the passing of Sir Sterling today, I needed to watch this again. A true hero to all motorsports fan. R.I.P. Sir Sterling. You're legend will live on.
The world is a much poorer place without Sir Stirling around. I met him once for ten minutes, he made me feel at ease straight away despite me being dumbstruck in his company. A truly wonderful man.
25:00 to 26:10 is every boyhood dream come true. Beautiful moment seeing Sir Patrick Stewart meet his favourite car then having Sir Sterling Moss open up the passenger door for him ready to drive with his hero. That moment where he looks at Sir Sterling driving him at the end is perfect.
This is great. Back in the 80's/early 90's, my uncle had several cars (512 BB, a BBI, a Daytona and a few classic racing cars) Back then I was young and didn't appreciate the older cars. My uncle didn't have anything historically significant but I was going to events that had significant cars there and, being with my uncle, being a part of the event, I could have had very good access to many classic/significant cars but I just wasn't interested. I now have a full appreciation of the classic cars and I am kicking myself because I didn't check them out when I had the opportunity.
I'm wondering why this hasn't got more views. It's a well put together documentary. Patrick Stewart is a great host and Sterling Moss such an interesting subject. What a gentleman. Does anyone know if Patrick Steward done any more of these?
I'm Brazilian but Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart and Niki Lauda are my favorites. Unfortunately, many Brazilians don't know much about Stirling Moss and not knowing honestly makes me question how passionate the person claims to be about the sport. I may sound rude but he is a legend and so in my mind sports fans should know him or at least know his importance.
I am 15 years of age when I am watching this but I love these old racing heros and I don't just envy them I envy the people who he raced with the teams they raced for anyone who was their to see those races.

Aunque estoy triste porque debido al maldito covid-19 los pilotos de Formula 1 actuales no podrán decirte adiós como vos lo merecías! ¡Dios te bendiga, Stirling! ¡Nunca te olvidaremos! Mis sinceras condolencias a su familia y amigos cercanos desde Venezuela.
For decades when I was younger, anyone who drove a bit crazy on the road, would be greeted with; " Who d'you think you are, Sterling Moss?!" Says it all really. Bloody legend, and very brave man. Rip.
I also read that book at a young age and it did the same for me. Even though I am from the U.S. anytime I am asked who I think is the best driver my #1 answer is always Sir Sterling Moss
@John Naughton - Or they are too embarrassed to admit that they hadn't heard or read anything about him until his passing! In general, it seems young folks today don't bother to, or just can't, spell worth a damn! They can't seem to compose a proper sentence either!
R.I.P Sir Stirling fantastic racing driver.What a great documentary.Love it when Patrick says he has just received his racing license at 72.Its an old cliche but just shows if you are still able bodied and compos mentis there should be no barriers in life whatever your age.You only get one shot at it.Dont go to your deathbed with a huge bucket list is my philosophy.
It's difficult to look into the future in "what if's". Moss would've had competition from Clark and other greats. Same would be for Clark, Senna, Villeneuve, Bellof etc etc. Only difference is that Stirling survived it.
A year or so older in the US than Patrick Stewart, Stirling Moss was may favorite. I took Road and Track back issues and Sports Cars Graphic morphed into Car and Driver in boxes until my first wife was pretty much beside herself. Lovely video and educating. Recommend it to anyone. Also a big fan of Clark, Hill and Gurney. Personally I was never a great driver - bummer. My favorite story was Moss using the starter motor to take a birdcage Maserati across the finish line at Daytona.
Nor his Valiant Hemi Six advertisements he did in Australia in the late sixties and early seventies. Or even his attempt at Bathurst in 1975 with Sir Jack Brabham in an L34 Torana.
The BRM v16 was just s formula libre car by 1952, it was never ready for the F1 it was designed for, was fast in as straight line, and very slow on corners like most BRMs except 1962-66 it was a disaster, sometimes made respectable by the genius of Pedro Rodriquez in 68-71. Moss made a comeback at Bathurst, in 1976 aged 47, during the practice and the race, he finally got going in the race, half an hour late he was fairly consistently 2 a lap seconds slower than his teammate Brabham. Moss said it was as disaster, he was conned into it, did it on a dare and greatly regretted it. Moss never attempted to race in a big international race again, he was bumped on the start line by some Aussie salloon car driver, who maybe feared the competition if it rained as it was clear in those conditions he was still good. He did a couple of seasons in 80-81 in semi serious UK National Saloon racing, he was generally midfield, but on s number of occasions, it poured and genius was back. It might have seemed ridiculous that was the case but it was not unusual in Australasia in the 1960s for say Clark or McLaren to be bumped out of a race deliberately. The following year 1977 Ickx/ Moffat in a mile wild Ford led from lap 3 to the finish. It was a horror story for the Australians. Brock was lapped 20 times. Some of the locals were stupid enough to try and race Ickx as he lapped them. The holden Brock fans in the Box the notorious viewing enclosure of the hard men and hard drinkers were silenced. As Mofat said it was impossible to get Jacky Ickx to drive slowly enough to not reveal that the great Bathurst heroes were nothing. Watching the edited videos in Australia are like a Samuel Beckett novel or Pinter play, it is very difficult to work out what if anything is going on, a National tragedy is occurring but minor fan, TV commentator or others drivers say nothing. They are just about in tears at every pit stop. Jacky Ickx, won the race. He is never mentioned.

What a brilliant program from a man who actually resembles sterling apart from being taller. Don’t feel sorry for sterling now he’s gone for what a life he had full of fast cars and crumpet. Who could feel sorry for a life like that. He actually lived what most blokes dream of , a champion racing driver and all of us of a certain age remembers our dads saying when being overtaken, who does he think he is sterling moss. I wonder if it ever was.
Excellent both of these great ambassadors of our country are amazing people it’s just shame that Sir Stirling Moss has passed away as they are both national treasures. It was also good to see Aintree Race Course being used for more than the Grand National I do hope they use it again for race meeting’s whether it be cars or motorcycle as well horse racing throughout the calendar year.
The era these guys raced in would put hairs on Hamilton’s vest never mind his chest. Maestros like Stirling Moss truly put their life on the line, the commitment and bravery is beyond extraordinary, like a necessary madness that the general public grew to accept, enjoy and respect. RIP
What an absolutely heart warming production, a touching tribute to a wonderful gentleman, one of my favourite hours spent watching a TV show ever! Patrick Stewart, humble, genuine and just amazing, Tif Needel, as ever and always simply fabulous. every member of this documentary was just marvellous... If you are one of those lucky souls for whom motor racing is the blood that runs through your veins, if you can smell the petrol, the oil and the tyres, you need to watch because if you ever watch anything in your life this has to be it, it truly brought a tear to my eye, God Speed Sir Stirling, you truly were a legend
I only me Sir Stirling once to speak to. My goosebumps had goosebumps. To meet an idol is a special thing. Such a gentleman, such a racer, such a man.... Rest in peace
Brilliant, just brilliant. Millions and millions of videos on this RUclips thing, and for me, and every truly Formula One fan in the world; this has to be on the top 5, to say the least. Sir Stirling Moss will live forever🙏🏼 - Legend🏆🏁
RIP to Sir Stirling Moss earlier,when I heard the news. I was devestated about the news,he is the greatest driver to not win a world title and a legend of the sport. #RIPSIRSTIRLING
{from Vicky Bueler}...My Dad Al Pease beat Stirling Moss at Mosport Park [Bomanville ON] once. I was there...Moss got in his regular car post race and quickly drove away, a wee bit angry [?]. Lol. Maybe 1980? Probably a VARAC event.

"Sir Patrick". "Sir Stirling". The poshest hello ever!
What a bloody good documentary. 1 hour of my time well spent. Thanks to the uploader !
I couldn't agree more. I am a bit sad really, that I didn't see and/or meet Sir Stirling himself, when he was still in reasonably good health participating at the Ennstal Classic or Schloß Dyk or the Goodwood events. :-(
Given the period he raced in its almost a miracle he made it to 90. RIP Sir Stirling Moss.
He’s not dead he’s just 1 lap ahead 👑
Like it !
He lapped the rest of us already.
That’s lovely George 👍🏻
George I think he maybe a few hundred laps ahead these days 😂
However could you imagine him with modern cars his face in a Tesla would be priceless
Delete all other comments. After this, there’s nothing left to be said.
R.I.P. Sir Sterling, Racer, Legend & Gentleman.
@Peter Dalling. So was Sir Stirling, if you are paying a tribute, at least get his name right.
@Peter Dalling. The great mans name was Stirling not Sterling.

Fantastic.

R E S P E C T and R.I.P. - one of the most admirable, true breed, veritably sportsmanlike, gentleman drivers who ever lived! Period!
Today Easter Sunday April 12, 2020, died in London at the age of 90 Sir Stirling Moss "The Champion without a Crown"

What the
Two great gentleman that do not let their egos walk before them. Rare these days! Great film to watch.
My Mum was one of the nurses who nursed him after that crash in 1962, a year before I was born.
When you put 2 of the finest englishmen together you get a truly remarkable documentary. Thank you Sir Stirling Moss and Sir Patrick Stewart !
Absolutely stellar documentary. The music, archive footage, heartfelt conversations, and race recreations make this one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. 10/10.

When i first watched this, he was still alive 😔 race in paradise Mr. Moss

i come back to this every now and again just to see Sir Patrick Stewart's reaction to something you can tell he's truly passionate about.
What a wonderful moment the two gentlemen approaching the Gullwing.
You can tell there is genuine joy and happiness in one, and humble pride in the other face.
And, even not a native English speaker, listening to them alone is a pleasure in times of Twitter et co.
I had the biggest grin on my face watching Sir Patric enjoy the car at the end!
RIP Sir Stirling - what a wonderful documentary done with true passion and enthusiasm by Patrick Stuart. A wonderful tribute and an hour well spent!
I have always admired Sir Stirling Moss. His image was on my first slot car set in 1963. I am privileged to visit the Aston Martin DB1 he drove at the Simeone Automotive Museum in Philadelphia, PA, USA. It sits among many iconic machines in motorsports history. A top rated museum thanks to the late Dr. Frederick Simeone.
I can't think of a more fitting tribute to a living legend! Actually, Sir Moss is more than a legend, he is an inspiration the world over!!
90 years. Wow, what a ride! Famous, fun, renowned, great sense of humor, didn't take himself so seriously, and on and on! What a person he was. God will welcome him with open arms to Heaven.
this man met other legends in his youth and made Enzo think twice about him... no wonder Mercedes-Benz made a tribute car for him.
Yep, the glorious "Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss"
Also there was SLR McLaren 722 in tribute of 1955 Mille Miglia victory
Love the fact they used some of Hans Zimmers best tracks through out this documentary, just perfect.
May you rest In peace, good sir. Your character and humor shall be missed.
Sir Stirling said there was nothing better at 18 or 19 driving around Europe every weekend meeting crumpet. I'm sure Sir Patrick would agree it was better than meeting Klingons!
At 58:55, the look Sir Patrick gives is a childhood dream simply coming true...very emotional
Sorry, 26.07
Rest in peace Sir Stirling. A true legend of motorsport 🇬🇧🏁
He drove since the age of 6? Wow! 🇬🇧
RIP Sir Stirling Moss!
Only just discovered this today, the day Sir Stirling left us. Fantastic and well done.
Was up at Dundrod start and finish yesterday and payed my respects at the location of his first big win the first ot three.
Wonderful episode. The Barry Sheene episode was terrible in the hands of Vic Reeves. Well done Patrick you are clearly a genuine motor racing fan and RIP Sir Moss.
What a beautiful Tribute.
RIP Sterling, a true champion of the highest virtue. What a driver! Such respect for Fangio & you.
The Mille Meglia! Bravo. Respect, the drivers' driver!
You and Fangio in '55
What a trauma
& Your teamate too
The two steering wheels that almost broke you mounted & displayed with top trophy's!! :-) Brilliant!
Monte Carlo with footpaths & trees on track :0...
The rawness of it all.
Spa was rural farm roads!!
LEGEND. Thanks for being you
Brilliant doco.. not gonna lie had a few tears during this one for sure it was so well done Rip Sir Sterling you were magic
With the passing of Sir Sterling today, I needed to watch this again.
A true hero to all motorsports fan.
R.I.P. Sir Sterling.
You're legend will live on.
@Richard Ingram. What a touching tribute, you must have been a real fan, so why not try to spell his name correctly?

I haven't even watched this yet, but I am excited i found this video. I wish Patrick would host more stuff like this.
Stirling was truly remarkable. In a world where labels are banded about like confetti, here was a man that was a real legend.
Fantastic!!!! The cars, the great drivers, the teams, the owners, the lifestyles, the stories!!!
This is great. Back in the 80's/early 90's, my uncle had several cars (512 BB, a BBI, a Daytona and a few classic racing cars) Back then I was young and didn't appreciate the older cars.
My uncle didn't have anything historically significant but I was going to events that had significant cars there and, being with my uncle, being a part of the event, I could have had very good access to many classic/significant cars but I just wasn't interested.
I now have a full appreciation of the classic cars and I am kicking myself because I didn't check them out when I had the opportunity.
I read Moss's autobiography "A Turn at the Wheel" when I was a teenager, in the sixties, and loved it.
I still have my copy, which I received as a twelth birthday present in 1961. Super book.
I like both Patrick Stewart and Stirling Moss, what a great documentary
I'm wondering why this hasn't got more views. It's a well put together documentary. Patrick Stewart is a great host and Sterling Moss such an interesting subject. What a gentleman. Does anyone know if Patrick Steward done any more of these?
@Hammer Rocks The name is STIRLING MOSS, not STERLING.
this is the best video ever!
i like mos but this brings him right into the epicentre of my heart. incredible video.
may he rest in perfect peace!
I'm Brazilian but Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart and Niki Lauda are my favorites. Unfortunately, many Brazilians don't know much about Stirling Moss and not knowing honestly makes me question how passionate the person claims to be about the sport.

lived a great life,
left us great memories.... RIP
Such a wonderful documentary. Will done Sir Patrick and R.I.P. Sir Stirling.
What a great great video on two knights of our modern times.
"I'm certainly heterosexual let's put it that way."
Just one of the great comments by Sir Stirling Moss! Great video.
What a truly great documentary.
On behalf of all the Motörhead’s thank you very much for posting video. Cheers mate!
Dan from the Bay Area
Patrick Stewart is so great in this.
Rest in Speed Sir Stirling
I am 15 years of age when I am watching this but I love these old racing heros and I don't just envy them I envy the people who he raced with the teams they raced for anyone who was their to see those races.
wonderful life .... thank you
Stirling Moss, the greatest driver ever. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video
"I'm certainly heterosexual, put it that way..." Legend, RIP Sir Stirling x
What a wonderful tribute to an incredible life.
a hart warming film they just look like brothers .
*R.I.P. Sir Stirling Moss. Definitive proof that the WDC is not the definition of a driver's greatness!*

Sir Patrick Stewart at 26:08 equals life complete.
I am Jean-Luc Picard, retired Starfleet Admiral, and a lifelong motor racing fan
My favorite F1 and driver ever!
For decades when I was younger, anyone who drove a bit crazy on the road, would be greeted with; " Who d'you think you are, Sterling Moss?!" Says it all really. Bloody legend, and very brave man. Rip.
Growing up in Britain, I was a Stirling Moss fan from very young. Reading Moss's book " All but my life" made it permanent
I also read that book at a young age and it did the same for me. Even though I am from the U.S. anytime I am asked who I think is the best driver my #1 answer is always Sir Sterling Moss
His name was Stirling Moss, not Sterling Moss. It's depressing to read all the posters here that can't be bothered to get it right.
Requiescat In Pace
@John Naughton - Or they are too embarrassed to admit that they hadn't heard or read anything about him until his passing! In general, it seems young folks today don't bother to, or just can't, spell worth a damn! They can't seem to compose a proper sentence either!
@@Loulovesspeed How true.
Fantastic ..met at Lime Rock Park
Rest In Peace to the true gentleman and legend of the game, that is Sir Stirling Moss❤️🙏🏼
"this beats the Enterprise any day" :)
R.I.P Sir Stirling fantastic racing driver.What a great documentary.Love it when Patrick says he has just received his racing license at 72.Its an old cliche but just shows if you are still able bodied and compos mentis there should be no barriers in life whatever your age.You only get one shot at it.Dont go to your deathbed with a huge bucket list is my philosophy.
He was our childhood hero.. and then we met him India at the Cartier Rally. Terrific film
You see the smile he pulls at 26:04. That's what cars do, that's why we have cars.
It's difficult to look into the future in "what if's". Moss would've had competition from Clark and other greats. Same would be for Clark, Senna, Villeneuve, Bellof etc etc. Only difference is that Stirling survived it.
A year or so older in the US than Patrick Stewart, Stirling Moss was may favorite.

Also a big fan of Clark, Hill and Gurney. Personally I was never a great driver - bummer.
My favorite story was Moss using the starter motor to take a birdcage Maserati across the finish line at Daytona.
24:36 wtf 💯 mph in a road of that width man some crazy driving skills those drivers had...😍😍😍 I wish we can get to see those videos
Not a single mention of Moss' attempt with BRM in 1952 with Fangio as his team-mate. WOW BBC, just wow.
Nor his Valiant Hemi Six advertisements he did in Australia in the late sixties and early seventies. Or even his attempt at Bathurst in 1975 with Sir Jack Brabham in an L34 Torana.
The BRM v16 was just s formula libre car by 1952, it was never ready for the F1 it was designed for, was fast in as straight line, and very slow on corners like most BRMs except 1962-66 it was a disaster, sometimes made respectable by the genius of Pedro Rodriquez in 68-71.

Thanks for the upload.
What a brilliant program from a man who actually resembles sterling apart from being taller. Don’t feel sorry for sterling now he’s gone for what a life he had full of fast cars and crumpet. Who could feel sorry for a life like that. He actually lived what most blokes dream of , a champion racing driver and all of us of a certain age remembers our dads saying when being overtaken, who does he think he is sterling moss. I wonder if it ever was.
Patrick Stewart met my racing legend too, Fantastic.
Excellent both of these great ambassadors of our country are amazing people it’s just shame that Sir Stirling Moss has passed away as they are both national treasures. It was also good to see Aintree Race Course being used for more than the Grand National I do hope they use it again for race meeting’s whether it be cars or motorcycle as well horse racing throughout the calendar year.
Can anybody tell me the music at the end or what film it is from? Brilliant documentry
The era these guys raced in would put hairs on Hamilton’s vest never mind his chest. Maestros like Stirling Moss truly put their life on the line, the commitment and bravery is beyond extraordinary, like a necessary madness that the general public grew to accept, enjoy and respect. RIP
What an absolutely heart warming production, a touching tribute to a wonderful gentleman, one of my favourite hours spent watching a TV show ever! Patrick Stewart, humble, genuine and just amazing, Tif Needel, as ever and always simply fabulous. every member of this documentary was just marvellous... If you are one of those lucky souls for whom motor racing is the blood that runs through your veins, if you can smell the petrol, the oil and the tyres, you need to watch because if you ever watch anything in your life this has to be it, it truly brought a tear to my eye, God Speed Sir Stirling, you truly were a legend
Wow how did he do that and so much more could have come.
Jesus Patrick Stewart is in good shape for such an old guy.
25:03 Such a lovely moment
I only me Sir Stirling once to speak to. My goosebumps had goosebumps. To meet an idol is a special thing. Such a gentleman, such a racer, such a man.... Rest in peace

@david wack - No he didn't, but Stirling did pass away.
{from Vicky Bueler}...My Dad Al Pease beat Stirling Moss at Mosport Park [Bomanville ON] once. I was there...Moss got in his regular car post race and quickly drove away, a wee bit angry [?]. Lol. Maybe 1980? Probably a VARAC event.
What was the age of MOSS and ur dad's?
