From the late 1960s to the early 2000s, F1 teams were heavily dependent on funding from cigarette companies like Rothmans. Mosley attempted to delay European legislation to outlaw the practice.
Mosley considered the use of F1 to promote Euro NCAP testing of cars his most enduring achievement as FIA president.
