Formula One boss Max Mosley has told the Guardian he thinks there was a conspiracy behind the News of the World story revealing his involvement in a sado masochistic sex orgy.

And he revealed that he has set up a fund to allow the less well-off to sue newspapers for invasion of privacy.

In his first press interview since winning a record £60,000 privacy payout from the News of the World in July – Mosley told Angelique Chrisafis that he believes what he did was “funny”.
