Many many moons ago, I spoke to Sir Stirling Moss about the five races he considered to be his finest in Formula 1 machinery. We went through his diaries and scrapbooks. The piece appeared in the final F1 Magazine in February 2004. Here’s what he held as his top 5 
Berne, 54. “I did not win. I can’t even remember if I finished. But I took provisional pole in the wet in my private Maserati and my performance impressed Neubauer enough for him to sign me.”
Buenos Aires, 58: “Was I brave doing that or stupid? To this day I don’t know. But I did everything you shouldn’t normally do to win that race.”
Monte Carlo, 61: “If I had completed every lap of the race in the same time as my pole position lap, I would have saved only about 40 seconds. That is how fast we were running. How hard we fought each other.”
Silverstone, 61: “The race was incredibly wet, as one might expect at Silverstone, but my car handled like a dream. I lapped everyone. It was just one of those races where you felt totally in control. That was one of my most pleasurable wins.”
Nurburgring, 61: “There was no way I could beat the Ferraris on dry tyres but I could on wet tyres in the dry. In the corners I had the advantage but on the straight the Ferraris came at me. Then with my tyres at breaking point there was a light sprinkling of rain. That was that”
