Moss 1951-61 között versenyzett a Forma-1-ben a Maseratival, Cooperrel, Mercedesszel, Lotusszal összesen 16 futamot nyert, de a bajnoki címet nem tudta megszerezni. A legközelebb 1958-ban került hozzá, amikor végül egyetlen ponttal végzett Mike Hawthorn mögött, méghozzá úgy, hogy korábban épp az ő közbenjárása miatt nem vettek el a versenybírók pontokat a riválistól. A brit pilóta F1-es pályafutása 11 idényéből hétszer a top3-ban zárt.

A Forma-1 mellett – ahogy akkoriban szokás volt – számos más autóversenyen is indult, győzelmei felsorolása oldalakat kívánna.
Moss tíz évvel ezelőtt súlyos balesetet szenvedett, amikor high-tech otthonában a liftaknába zuhant és összetörte magát, 2018-ban pedig komoly betegségen esett át, utolsó éveiben már nem mutatkozott a nyilvánosság előtt.
