Mansell's ego
Has he actually officially retired from F1? Just look at this...

Glad to see that he didn't changed much in 20 years!

Re: Mansell's ego
Even though Mansell was my idol and one of my favourite drivers ever. I do wish he would be quiet, his ego really gets on my nerves.

This is the Moss Retirement wave kicking in, or maybe theres a peice of Starkey's Bridge still lodged in his head.

Re: Mansell's ego
Mansell only won cause the FW14B was just in its own class. But in 1991 the FW14 Pattrese had the edge over Mansell. I do admit the 1986 championship should of been his, but saying I could beat most of the field when he couldnt when he was racing is funny.

Even the 1986 title had it gone to Mansell would've been worth shite. The FW11 was just as dominant as the FW14B was in 92. It was only Prost's genius with the aging MP4/2 that allowing him to compete against the williamses.

Neither. He's forget that he's won our Hang Up The Keys award...

Re: Mansell's ego
Mansell is a bizarre one. It seems that every so often he has to pipe up and make some stupid comment, usually just for the sake of it. However, IRL he's a nice guy, quite deprecating and funny.

Re: Mansell's ego
To be honest Mansell always moaned about something and looks like even with age nothing has changed. I wtahced the 1991 Imola GP and he stalled on the grid and DNF due to his new semi automatic gearbox, whcih i should mentain Patrese didnt have any issues with it the first 3 races while mansell did....
