Sir Stirling Moss returns home after 134 days in hospitals
Motor racing legend Sir Stirling Moss has returned home after 134 days in hospital.
Moss, 87, was taken to hospital when he fell ill from a chest infection while on holiday in Singapore on Dec. 22, 2016.
He was later flown back to a hospital in the UK where he had remained since. However, on Thursday, Stirling Moss’ official website reported that he had returned to his home in England where he would continue to undergo recovery.
“After some 134 days in hospitals, we are delighted to be able to say that Sir Stirling is now at home. He is thrilled to be back where he belongs," the website reads.
“He still has a substantial amount of recovery to undertake but says that he has determination and a great pit crew.
“He and Lady Moss are enormously grateful to the medical staff, both here and abroad, who worked so tirelessly to make all this possible.
“They also want to thank, from the bottom of their hearts, all the family, friends and fans for their love and support. It has been overwhelming and given them a lot of strength, smiles and hope.
“For now, they are looking forward to just lying back on their pillows in their bedroom and watching the Spanish Grand Prix.”
Moss, a winner of 16 Grands Prix, is often regarded as the greatest F1 driver to have never won the championship.
