Wow...there is a lot unsaid here. Like Max Mosley..."former racing motor boss"...okay, that is what he is known for :) But we should probably call it what it is: corruption. For someone that is supposedly assisting the govt, they seem to employ a hell of a lot of civil servants from that inefficient govt...wonder why? (This kind of corruption has completely exploded in the UK. It actually isn't politicians either, it is mostly civil servants...as in, the "Nudge Unit" that was spun out of govt and then won lots of contracts to do the exact same work for double the price).

TBF, Max Mosley isn't really involved in this, it is his nephew who is the focus of the story. The Telegraph just likes to pitch the idea that who your parents are is important, if the story was in the Daily Mail it would tell you how much the houses of anyone mentioned were worth.
