A son of world auto racing boss Max Mosley has been found dead in his London home, police and the racing federation said on Wednesday.
The body of 39-year-old Alexander Mosley was found in his west London apartment on Tuesday afternoon.
He died of a suspected drug overdose, a London police official said on condition of anonymity because the force was not authorized to disclose details.
Former Formula One team boss Eddie Jordan described Alexander Mosley as a “hugely clever and talented computer expert.”
“It’s totally tragic, he was such a bright boy,” Jordan said. “I’m devastated for them.”
Max Mosley has been the president of the FIA, the international automobile federation which governs Formula One racing, since 1993. He called off plans to travel to this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona.
Max Mosley and his wife, Jean, have another son, 37-year-old Patrick.
Max Mosley, the son of former British fascist leader Oswald Mosley, was at the center of a media frenzy last year when a tabloid newspaper reported he took part in a Nazi-themed sadomasochistic orgy with five prostitutes in London. A video of the incident was circulated on the Internet.
Mosley successfully sued the News of the World for invasion of privacy, and Britain’s High Court ruled there had been no Nazi connection to the sex session.
Mosley told the court last year that the story had devastated his family.
“I don’t think there is anything worse for a son than to see in a newspaper, particularly one like the News of the World, pictures of the kind they printed,” he told last year’s court case.
“I can think of nothing more undignified or humiliating than that. If I put myself in their position — to see my father in that position, I would find it devastating,” he said.
Jobe Bellingham on Tuesday admitted to having “anxieties” on following in brother Jude’s footsteps after joining Borussia Dortmund in the summer. Jobe Bellingham, 19, is two years younger than Jude Bellingham, who joined Real Madrid in 2023 after three years at Dortmund. A centerpiece of the England national team, Jude Bellingham has emerged as one of the best players in the world in recent seasons. The younger Jobe Bellingham joined Dortmund in June from Sunderland after their promotion to the English Premier League. He admitted he understood what the perception would be ahead of the move to Germany. “It’s something you do think about.
Before Tuesday’s 7-2 win at the Atlanta Braves, Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy suggested “most people couldn’t tell you five players on our team.” A look at the standings would indicate more Brewers players soon will be recognized by more fans. After all, it is difficult to overlook a team that not only continues to extend their lead in the National League Central, but also boasts the best record in the majors. “What we’re doing in here right now is special,” right-handed pitcher Freddy Peralta said after allowing only four hits and one run in five innings, while setting a career high with
Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday fought through a second-set slump to post a roller-coaster 6-1, 2-6, 6-3 victory over Damir Dzumhur in his opening match at the Cincinnati Open. The Spaniard, playing his first tournament since losing to Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon final, raced through the first set, but completely lost his way in the second, dropping his serve twice against the 33-year-old Bosnian. Alcaraz regained his intensity and cut down his errors in the third set as a seventh ace took him to a match point that was converted when Dzumhur fired wide. “It was just a roller coaster,” said the second
NEXT ROUND: World No. 1s Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka opened their title defenses with straight-sets wins, while Iga Swiatek and Taylor Fritz also advanced Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka got their title defenses off to smooth starts as they powered into the third round of the ATP-WTA Cincinnati Open on Saturday. The men’s and women’s top seeds, each ranked No. 1 in the world, were both competing for the first time since Wimbledon, where Sinner lifted the title and Sabalenka bowed out in the women’s semi-finals. Sinner crushed Colombian Daniel Elahi Galan 6-1, 6-1 in steamy afternoon weather, while Sabalenka beat 2023 Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova 7-5, 6-1 under the lights of the night session.
