Anyone know how to watch the film about Max Mosley that was released in March? I've checked all the usual streaming services but can't find it. Was it ever at the cinema?

I cant help on the film but I have just finished reading his autobiography this week.

It is well worth a read for anyone who is interested.

It went into great details about the behind closed doors dealings that shaped the F1 and FIA we see today. Its amazing to see how it all developed and the relationship between Max and Bernie.

Of course it covered the Senna incident and the more recent News of the World scandal, but his take on Indy 2005 and Spygate were also good to read and provided a balanced view which was probably lost in the media at the time.

I recommend it smile

BIG thanks for the ‘heads up’ and the recommendation...

I went through some of the reviews on Amazon and found these intriguing comments, about the book… …which IMHO, just adds an EXTRA dimension to the curiosity…


“It starts with great detail about the family background etc. which I found it a bit long yet very interesting but then it moves to FIA and it feels like Max Mosely had no life beyond it. It almost never mentions family, being a husband, being a father or even being a friend so we would have even a little idea on how he lived as a private person.”

“Even when he mentions the death of his son it is quite emotionless.”

“This book should really be called 'Max Mosley - How I Got Almost Everything Right'.”

“Very self centered book. Drags on at the end, but then I suppose it has not ended.....”

“The beginning, dealing with the author's unusual childhood to highly privileged yet notorious parents is much stronger than the middle and ending, which come across as a tedious exercise in attempting to settle old scores.”


After reading those observations, the comments I would make are;

Like him or loathe him, IMHO, Max Mosley is a character of the sport, part of the historical Formula 1 cast, of a Global entertainment cortege… …and like so many others in the upper echelons of society, ‘they are protected’…

IF Max Mosley had named the book, ‘Intrigue’, that IMHO, would not have appeared to have been out of place, considering all the MANY and VARIED 'sub plots'…

A definition of intrigue can be found here;

One of the sub notes being;

2. A clandestine love affair.
