Former motorsport boss Max Mosley dies at 81

Ex-British racing driver Max Mosley, who went on to run motorsport’s world governing body the FIA and become a privacy campaigner, has died aged 81.

His death was confirmed by ex-Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone.

Mr Mosley served three terms as president of the FIA from 1993 to 2009.

He also campaigned for tighter press regulation after the defunct UK Sunday tabloid the News of the World published a story alleging he had organised a Nazi-themed orgy.
