Sir Stirling Moss: the Mille Miglia of 1957

I think my most important race ever was in Monaco in 1961, that or my victory in the Mille Miglia. The Mille Miglia was the only race I was ever frightened of. Until the flag fell I was scared, because I didn’t know the circuit. It was a thousand miles, so you just couldn’t learn the circuit. It took a day to do 500 miles in practice, which lasted two days, so you just didn’t have the knowledge of the circuit, but I did have a brilliant navigator travelling with me (Denis Jenkinson) giving me hand signals as to where the road went next.
