Formula E: Driver follows the journeys of Jake Dennis, Dan Ticktum, António Félix da Costa, and Mitch Evans as they battle for success during Season 10.
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 wrestling 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.
Denied his political ambition due to the stigma of his father’s legacy, Mosley strove to leave a worthwhile legacy of his own taking on the might of car giants worldwide, shaming them into improving the safety of their motor vehicles worldwide. Despite this, Mosley continued to be hounded by the press, digging into his private life, leading to one of the biggest battles of all against the press barons set out to bury his reputation.
Valentino Rossi sits at the centre of his own whirlwind. Success on the track has been matched with a colourful character, universal appeal in the world of sport and a higher profile than perhaps any other motorcycle racer in the history of Grand Prix. Rather than shying from the spotlight or tiring from the attention the Italian forged a persona; a means to transmit the enjoyment of racing and motorcycling that underpins his longevity and continuing influence.
‘The Doctor’ first appeared in a bevy of yellow, bright letters, a ‘46’ and some cartoon logos. The post-race celebrations, liveries, japes and antics through the course of nine world championship wins helped cement Rossi’s professional image as one of fun as much as competitive ruthlessness. This latest episode – ‘The Doctor’ – looks closer at the man and his impact and influence through two decades of MotoGP and some of most memorable moments in modern day Grand Prix. The Tavullia inner circle is again the rich source of information and perspective as we try to go behind the theatricalities of ‘The Doctor’.
