Sir Stirling Moss is recovering back at home after being released from hospital, following a serious chest infection.
Moss, who finished as championship runner-up on four occasions during his esteemed career, was admitted to hospital in Singapore prior to Christmas last year.
The 87-year-old has now returned home after spending 134 days in hospital.
“He still has a substantial amount of recovery to undertake but says that he has determination and a great pit crew,” read a statement on his website.
“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.”
