To celebrate the release of Michael Shevloff’s documentary, Mosley: It’s Complicated, Miracle Comms are delighted to offer three copies of the DVD to giveaway.
Mosley: It’s Complicated is a no-holds-barred study of one of the most successful yet controversial figures in motorsport, Max Mosley. Born under the dark shadow of his infamous fascist father Oswald Mosley, Max has fought his entire life to make his own mark. First in the 1970s as the owner of March, the upstart underdog Formula One race-winning team, then with friend and fellow team owner Bernie Ecclestone, Mosley wrestled control of Formula One from the Fia leading to F1’s most lucrative and popular heyday. Mosley himself went on to preside over the Fia striving to improve driver safety following the deaths of Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna in one weekend in 1994.
Denied his political ambition due to the stigma of his father’s legacy,...
