The fifth and final episode of ‘Valentino Rossi: The Doctor Series’; a collection of clips created to prize away some of the layers of one of the most famous and best-loved motorsport athletes of the modern age; a man that everybody sees everybody enjoys but perhaps few really know.
‘The Boss’ carries a double meaning. Rossi is not only the top dog in the premier class of MotoGP and has existed in that sphere since 2000 but he also heads up a hefty business sprawl of merchandise and distribution. ‘VR46’ has a stylish and functional HQ near Tavullia and is the base for an enterprise that also looks after many other interests.
We speak to the people running a busy parallel existence for Valentino and find out how the Italian is creating a legacy and an empire designed to last when the chequered flag has long since dropped.
This explosive Sky Original documentary featuring some of the biggest names in F1 follows Nigel Mansell and the Williams Racing team’s rise to fame told through the eyes of his team, family, and drivers such as Jenson Button, Damon Hill, and Karun Chandhok.

Thirty years later we break down what made this car so special and follow the journey of Mansell’s suspenseful, heart-breaking, and ultimately victorious career and his last chance to become a world champion.
