SCU Stirling Moss speaks:- "No, it does not, because my contract runs for one year." CU..."Now there is one thing I would like to say & that is that the greatest ambition of my life is to try & be World Champion driving a British car, & to this end I did drive British cars for 6 years, & up till that time so far no challenger had come along, & I did start to drive a Foreign car, but the only reason that I am continuing to drive a Continental car is to try to obtain experience by driving behind a man like Fangio, so that if in 1956, as I sincerely and genuinely think there will be, a British car I can drive, I hope I will be able to come back with sufficient experience to drive & attain this ambition of mine."
