At the time people use to unfairly label him as a bit boring, maybe because of the tone of his voice. But if you were truly into f1, you knew he was a massive personality. I know at Silverstone at least, the team directors use to have to tear him away on a night as he just loved chatting with all the fans, back when you could go to the pit areas.

When Nigel said all the memories were flooding back, I choked up. If only Ayrton was still around. If all the classic teams still around gave their old drivers a car to demo, we know there’s a chance a race would break out.

@@RyanPerrella I believe it was from 85 when Nigel joined Williams. Rosberg was number 6 so in white the numbers looked similar. Hence red 5. In 94 Nigel had sennas number 2. Hill was 0

So glad to see he's made a full recovery from a melty face and arrow after Jeremy, Richard, and James rescued him from Poland.

Wish he'd won in 86. The years that followed were painful in that his talent went unrecognised. Great performances in 87, the underpowered car in 88, the temperamental Ferrari in 89-90, and the slow start in 91. It all came together finally in 92 - the only downside was that Prost wasn't racing so Nigel never beat him in that sense. I was overwhelmed by Adelaide 94 and Williams should have kept him for 95. What a fantastic racing driver.

He does not get enough credit for how good he was. Additionally, he was competing against Senna and Prost 2 of the all time greats in F1.

All my respects from Argentina to Mr. Nigel Mansell, excellent F1 driver and a man with capital letters. Those pilots and people that are hard to find nowadays.
