We were all very sad at Motor Sport to hear about Sir Stirling Moss’ accident at his London home on Saturday evening.

Sir Stirling has broken both ankles, four bones in his feet and chipped four vertebrae after his lift malfunctioned. The door, which should have stayed shut, opened when the lift was a floor above and he fell three floors down the lift shaft.

With the assistance of Professor Sid Watkins, Sir Stirling was moved from the Royal London Hospital to one near his home where he underwent surgery on both ankles, which were plated and pinned. Sir Stirling is now comfortable in hospital, but it is expected that he will take up to six weeks to recover.

Everyone at Motor Sport sends their regards and wishes him all the best for a speedy recovery.
