"He just closed his eyes."
Although Moss never won the Formula One title, he finished runner-up four times.
And in an era where it was common for drivers to race in different disciplines, a 14-year career that started in 1948 saw Moss win 212 of the 529 races he entered including the 1955 Mille Miglia, which took place on public roads in Italy.
