Stirling Moss is the highest driver on the list never to win a world championship but the way he conducted himself and the way he drove became the benchmark for many drivers following in his footsteps, 9th on this list is Sir Stirling Moss.

He was an all-round racing driver, successful in many categories including Formula One. He won 16 races in his time in F1 and became a great rival to Juan Manuel Fangio during his time in the sport. Driving alongside the Argentinian at Mercedes-Benz in 1955 made both drivers race harder and faster, some of his great battles in the sport came alongside Fangio.

Among his 16 GP wins were some of the greatest F1 victories ever seen, one race saw Moss beat Fangio by over three minutes at Pescara during the 1957 season.

When Fangio retired Moss was regarded as the best driver in the world and although he never won a world championship to this day he is still regarded as one of the best drivers ever to grace the sport.
