Monty 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2005 Nigel Mansell. I'm a big fan of this guy. He had balls the size of JPM's (or the other way around) It would be nice if my final F1 win at Adelaide in 1994 was one of the happiest memories of my career. Unfortunately it was probably the worst moment of my life.We arrived in Australia with the two hotshoes, Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill, competing for the World Championship.But look at the history books and they Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nojvnof1 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2005 Not bothered either way by Mansell. I always thought he was a tough racer but whined about alot of things. Some very interesting things came out of those articles. I look forward to one day reading his 'real' reasons for quitting. It also came as a surprise to me that he was in with a chance of the '95 Williams seat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2005 Mansell is before my time. But I don't like him putting Damon down in any way! I wonder if he talks about his year with prost at ferrari in 1990, when he was beaten all year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like Damon, but Mansell was the better driver by some margin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oli 1 Report post Posted August 17, 2005 That's what thread titles are for. Keep 'em coming Monty...... Mansell was a superb driver, but not a man I'd ever want to have a pint with. Even by F1 standards his ego is huge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like Damon, but Mansell was the better driver by some margin. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Of course Mansell was the better F1 driver, but Damon was better in 1994 in my opinion as he proved on the track. Mansell is quick to mention Adelaide 1994 and his pole position but he seems to have forgotten that in the race Damon and Michael were pulling away from him every lap until Michael cracked under intense pressure from Hill and ended the World Championship in the German Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
