Mosley defends his ‘eccentric’ lifestyle choice

EMBATTLED motorsport boss Max Mosley has defended his right to an “eccentric” private life and said he would fight to continue running Formula One.

In his first interview since a newspaper printed lurid allegations about him, Mosley admitted the scandal had embarrassed his family.

But he spoke of his pride that “thousands” of lives had been saved on the roads thanks to the work of the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), of which he is president.
