Here’s two interesting bits of trivia related to that F1 scandal Jonah and Mark noted, involving Max Mosley, son of Oswald. Oswald Mosely, founder of the British Fascists Union, was the model for Roderick Spode, a.k.a Lord Sidcup, the loutish leader of the fascist “Black Shorts” in the Jeeves and Wooster series. Wodehose described him thusly: “as if Nature had intended to make a gorilla, and had changed its mind at the last moment.” No doubt if Wodehouse were still alive, he would be amused and unsurprised by his son’s public humiliation — particularly since in the books Spode is revealed [spoiler warning] to be ashamed of his secretive double life as a famed designer of ladies lingerie.

Also, Oswald Mosley is the “Oswald” from the lyrics to Elvis Costello’s song “Less Than Zero” off of My Aim is True, FWIW.
