The real-life racing rogues stranger than fiction

The forthcoming Netflix film linking the world of underworld crime and motorsport plays on a theme that isn't exactly new. Over the years, several shady figures have attempted to make it in racing before their dubious dealings caught up with them.

This week Netflix announced a new film starring John Boyega as a young Formula 1 prodigy forced by family circumstances to work as a getaway driver for the mob.

Some readers might consider this scenario implausible. Those of a sensitive disposition may be outraged at the very thought of organised crime having a connection with the world of motor racing.
