- The long awaited autobiography Formula One And Beyond

After Max Mosley decided to take the News of the World to court for invading his privacy, a friend of Rupert Murdoch asked Bernie Ecclestone: 'Does Max know what he's taking on?' Ecclestone replied that he thought Mosley probably did, but he wasn't so sure about
Murdoch. It was a mark of the respect in which the former president of the FIA is held by those who know him best. Mosley has now become a formidable campaigner for the right to privacy, and for the press to behave with far greater
responsibility when running its stories.

Now, having been in the public eye since he was a few weeks old, when his parents, Diana and Oswald Mosley, were interned during the Second World War because of their political beliefs, he has decided to give his fascinating account of an extraordinary life. After Oxford, a promising career at the Bar was cut short when he took up motor racing, initially as a driver and later as a team owner. This period brought him into contact with some of the sport's most famous names, but he also saw the reckless disregard for life shown by the organisers.

Mosley went on to form an irresistible partnership with Ecclestone, and he reveals  in compelling detail how they set about transforming Formula One into the most glamorous, exciting and extravagant form of motorsport. His inside knowledge of what went
on is unrivalled, and for any fan of the sport this account is sure to shed much new light. His often unsung work for the FIA not only made Formula One much safer, it was also to have hugely
beneficial consequences for motorists everywhere.

Max Mosley was born in 1940, and after going up to Oxford University he began a career at the Bar before deciding to take up motor racing, initially as a driver. He then became part-owner of the March Formula One team, and worked with Bernie Ecclestone to transform the fortunes of the sport. He was president of the FIA, the governing body of all forms of motorsport which also represents the interests of motoring organisations around the world, between 1993 and 2009.
