In Pixar's Cars 2, what is the name of the oil magnate behind the World Grand Prix?

In Pixar's Cars 2, Miles Axlerod is the oil magnate behind the World Grand Prix.

Axlerod presents the World Grand Prix as an international racing event designed to promote Allinol, an alternative fuel. He is introduced as a former oil baron who claims to have converted to electric power and abandoned his old identity. That public story becomes part of the film's central mystery.

The plot later reveals that Axlerod is the mastermind behind the conspiracy involving modified cameras, Allinol, and attacks on racers. His plan uses the races and the fuel controversy to create chaos while concealing his real motives.

Miles Axlerod is voiced by Eddie Izzard. He is not Professor Zündapp, the German scientist who helps carry out the plot, and he is not Finn McMissile, the British agent investigating it. The name “Axlerod” also fits the series' habit of using mechanical or automotive wordplay.
