I've tried everything other than jumping out of a plane, but nothing gives you an adrenaline rush like racing a car.

Nigel Mansell, 1992 Formula One world champion

Although he was more successful at Williams and McLaren, Nigel Mansell became the last Ferrari driver to be personally selected by Enzo Ferrari before his death in August 1988, an honour Mansell described as "one of the greatest in my entire career".

Though Mansell only finished fourth in his first season and fifth in his second and last season for Ferrari, he became known as ‘il leone’ ("the lion") by the tifosi because of his fearless driving style. It was well earned.

Sebtember Challenge #11: Race Without Trace

Seb in blue~ 🥰💙

Sebastian promoted his new ‘Race Without Trace’ campaign at Silverstone last year by doing a test run in Nigel Mansell’s Williams FW14B “Red 5” using carbon neutral fuels while still retaining the classic V10 roar the car is known for.

The noise was INSANE! It’s as if nothing had changed; it’s the same old sound! It’s incredibly nostalgic.

Ayrton and I were born to compete with each other… He would leave no stone unturned to get the utmost out of his car and his team.

Nigel Mansell on his rival Ayrton Senna

In the annal of F1 racing the Mansell/Senna rivalry is less revered than those of Senna/Prost or Mansell/Piquet of that time. It might be because there was less sniping in between races, less for the press to write about. Occasionally the fighting spilled over into the pits but Mansell and Senna generally did their talking on the track (most of the time), creating great battles which have lived long in the memory.

The Monaco Grand Prix in 1992 was one of those races where that rivalry really rose to the top. Senna was renowned for dominating Monaco, winning there six times, but it was his defensive drive over Mansell which was possibly his most famous that lives in the memory.

Mansell was desperate to claim victory at a race he’d never won, and he got off to a good start by taking pole by 0.8sec and then converting this into the race lead. The Williams driver streaked away, leading by almost 30 seconds until lap 71, when Mansell thought he detected a left-rear slow puncture. A long stop for the Williams man meant that Senna managed to take the lead. Coming out 7 seconds back, Mansell easily closed up, and with three laps left he was all over the Brazilian’s gearbox. Mansell ducked left and right, but Senna was managed to make his MP4/7A as wide as possible, leaving no passing opportunity at all. After three furious laps in which Senna put on perhaps F1’s greatest ever defensive display, the Brazilian duly took the win, snatching the victory from an exhausted Mansell
