On Jan. 2, the new season of Formula E Unplugged, the docuseries on the fast-growing motorsport, drops on YouTube, chronicling last year’s exciting and tense season.

Mosley: It’s Complicated is a no-holds-barred study of one of the most successful yet controversial figures in motorsport, Max Mosley.

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 wrestled 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 following the deaths of Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna in one weekend in 1994.
Denied his political ambition due to the stigma of his father’s legacy,...

London, May 24 (Ians) Max Mosley, the former president of motorsports' world governing body Fia, has died aged 81.
Mosley became Fia president in 1993 after serving in previous administrative roles in motorsport, including Formula One. He served three terms as president before standing down in 2009.
Former Formula One chief executive Bernie Ecclestone confirmed the news, reports Dpa.
"Max was like family to me. We were like brothers. I am pleased in a way because he suffered for too long," Ecclestone said.
Mosley, who had been suffering from cancer, experienced a family tragedy in 2009 when his son Alexander died aged 39. The coroner ruled Alexander's death was due to non-dependent drug abuse.
His love for motor racing began in his youth and he was involved in Formula 2 for Brabham and Lotus before retiring in 1969.
He founded a car manufacturing company, March Engineering, and oversaw its legal and commercial affairs from 1969 to 1977.

A new film about racing legend Ayrton Senna puts you in the cockpit with him. Asif Kapadia explains how he did it
When I was given the opportunity to direct Senna, I decided the film had to work for audiences who disliked sport, or had never seen a Formula One race in their lives. It had to thrill and emotionally engage people who had never heard of Ayrton Senna.
I was a sports fan long before I had any interest in film-making. I used to watch everything – football, boxing, cricket – and on Sunday afternoons Formula One was always on in the background. Before this film, I'd only ever been to one race. I worked with Michelle Yeoh on my last film, Far North, and her partner is Jean Todt; at the time, he ran Ferrari. So I went as a VIP to the British grand prix. I was in the...

PARIS -- The cast list is one to die for. The makers of Asterix at the Olympic Games, the third in the franchise featuring Gaul's favorite comic book hero, have lined up Alain Delon, Gerard Depardieu, Clovis Cornillac, Jose Garcia, Benoit Poelvoorde and Jean-Pierre Cassel, and that's only the actors.
Famous names from other fields who bolster the project include Michael Schumacher and Jean Todt (motor racing), Zinedine Zidane (soccer), Tony Parker (basketball) and Adriana Karembeu (fashion). Trailed on YouTube months in advance, backed with a massive publicity budget, opening simultaneously on 5,000 screens throughout Europe -- including more than 1,000 in France, the movie, boasting a record budget upward of $100 million, appears certain to pack them in. Nevertheless, the question must be asked: Is it any good?
Perhaps the fairest that can be said is that it's a curate's egg of a movie -- good in parts. While Asterix III is unlikely to win the praise of critics as its predecessor, "Asterix & Obelix Meet Cleopatra," did five years ago, it provides plenty of gags and visual trickery to please children, adolescents and celebrity-spotters and contains at least one noteworthy performance.
When the young Gallic swain Alafolix (Stephane Rousseau) plights his troth to the beautiful Greek princess Irina (Vanessa Hessler), he finds himself in competition with Brutus (Poelvoorde), the ambitious son of Julius Caesar (Delon), to whom she has been promised by her father. To settle the dispute, though she loves Alafolix, Irina says she will give her hand to whichever of the two wins the sports tournament about to take place on Mount Olympus. Asterix (Cornillac) and Obelix (Depardieu) lead a Gallic delegation to compete against teams from Rome, Greece, Egypt, Spain and other parts of the then-known world. Meanwhile, in a parallel strand, the buffoonish Brutus is scheming to get rid of his father by any possible means, including poison, in order to succeed him.
If the plot lacks subtlety, so do the gags, not to say that none of them are funny. The humor is hit-and-miss, with plenty of misses, and the jokey references to modern French pop songs will pass over the heads of foreign audiences.
What first-time director Thomas Langmann and his co-director Frederic Forestier succeed best in providing is a sense of spectacle. They make abundant and effective use of SFX and computer-generated imagery to produce an array of cartoonish effects, culminating in a chariot race that owes nothing to Ben-Hur. The movie lacks pace -- 15 minutes could have been trimmed -- and that it nonetheless hangs together is mainly because of the efforts of Poelvoorde, the one actor who has a genuine comic talent. He plays Brutus as a cross between Caligula and Jerry Lewis and is the best reason for seeing the movie, apart from taking the kids.
