Prost came with funding and political backing of the F1 Organisation. Senna came with much money and talent. Mansell struggled with budget not coming from money unlike the rest he was a working class bloke with absolute determination to beat the established toffs and given the tools that he did both sides of the pond. A real class act for me.
Yea but when you are not British and whoop British ass with tough racing the most unsportsmanlike country shits on you for years. No bigger hypocrites than the British in sports.
Mansell was TRULY - THE LION! I followed him from his beginnings to hi slast race. TOP BRITISH drivers appear only ONCE in a decade! That move was a CLASSIC and is still copied today where possible! The 'Mansell Manoeuvre'
Mansell was excellent on his day and a lot of fun to watch. Senna’s standard of excellence was more stable and his performance ceiling was higher. He was more dedicated too. Those were fun times. The 1989 season was a really exciting year.
Mansell at his peak either chasing down a leader or trying for a fastest lap for pole position was untouchable. Ive never seen a driver with more determination, bravery and sheer brilliance. God bless you Nigel 🇬🇧
12:00 Super Mario, who is out for a casual stroll across the pitlane (without a care in the world), narrowly avoids being smashed a few hundred feet in the air by a 150mph Berger Ferrari missile! No pitlane speed limits back in the 80s
As a kid and a die hard Senna fan, Mansel was without doubt the driver that I feared and hated the most. My God he made me cry…. lol. Today I have to confess that I was spoiled by his singular talent and bravery. I love you Mansel. Thank you for all roller coaster of emotions during my childhood. You are the man.
The Day Nigel Mansell Showed Senna Who’s The Boss then Senna showed Nigel who was the Boss for the remaining 364 days Nigel - 1 day boss Senna - 364 day Boss
Nigel is greatly respected here in Brazil as one of the most brave and biggest rivals of Senna. They gave us incredible wheel to wheel moments and some real fun battles to watch.
This video's a load of you know what. Firstly Prost gave Mansell a thrashing the following year, because he was a much better driver. Secondly, the only reason the McLaren was the best package, was entirely down to having the two best drivers by some margin. The McLaren wasn't the best chassis, that was the Williams, and the Honda lacked overall power in comparison to the Renault and Ferrari. There's a thing called a gearbox. Inside of the gearbox are a variety of gears. Which ones you choose is down to the race engineers preference. Senna was quicker down the straight, because he had a shorter gear, meaning better acceleration down the short straight. Mansell didn't do anything special, he was lucky Johansson missed a gear and forced Senna to lift off. Mansell wasn't a very good driver, he was average. Peter Warr at Lotus, replaced him with Senna, because Mansell threw away so many certain race wins and point finishes. He famously said "Mansell will never win a race as long as he has a hole in his arse". He was wrong about that, but he needed a dominant car to do it.
Good, we all remember Nigel being someone doing memorable races and winning undisputed races. Had it not been for his failure in Adelaide, his career change would be important. Tires management was part of the race. Every driver got a failure in tires in career, Prost and Senna did also. Nigel isn't dumb, he focuses only on racing, politics just ruins sport
Mansell was good but never as good as SENNA, NEVER - Senna was in a different level than every other driver, including Nigel - sorry but history can't be changed
Great job with the video, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this battle again, but why such biased comments and a click bait title? It's uncalled for. Mansell had the better tyre, Senna lost a ton of time behind Patrese all race long, and then got blocked by the backmarker who decided to lift up on corner exit. Mansell was in a position to have enough time to react in that situation and take advantage. Both drivers did everything right, but fortune smiled on Mansell. The problem is he couldn't deliver such performances consistently, while Senna was almost always on top of his game. He destroyed Prost that season, even if Prost won the title. And then Prost destroyed Mansell in Ferrari. I like Mansell, he is an awesome person and a driver, but you just can't put him above the likes of Senna and Prost in terms of overall ability to win races and championships. Perhaps it was just his mindset of approaching racing more casually and not working as hard outside the cockpit. Nobody denies his determination and racing skills.
While Senna was tweaking his car with his engineers and trying to improve the safety of the track, Mansel was mostly on the golf course.. Mansel was good. Senna is a legend!
This is what Al Unser Jr used to do in Indycars. Never thought about qualifying, but spent more time working on his race set-up than anyone else. The result? Always quick over long runs on a full tank of fuel. Mansell was a brilliant racer and fighter, but he wasn't particularly clever behind the scenes. He didn't learn Italian before going to Ferrari, and handled all technical matters in English. He was also not a strong politician - and it's relationships with mechanics, management, sponsors, officials, etc, that could really make the difference. Prost and Senna (and also Stewart) understood that you had to be a winner everywhere, not just in the cockpit.
Mansell was unfortunately lazy in testing , and was prone to blaming the team went things went wrong. I have never seen a driver who had a problem with almost every teammate he had.
Andy, you thought about doing single season review videos? The official ones are terrible and are contemporary so without any hindsight they are often incorrect. I think it’s a serious gap in the F1 TH-cam market. A lot of work but you could slowly build up a catalogue of videos. Just start with your favourite years, different eras, mix it up? Just a thought 👍
Mansell was more of a rival to Senna than Prost ever was. Prost was a weakminded driver with no aggression and never had that deep down drive inside of him to make things happen.... he just doesn't have that killer instinct.
One race win doesn't amount to a hill of beans. Senna still went on to win the title. Senna reaction to Mansell's overtake behind the back marker was proof of his greatness. The difference between the Good and the Great is knowing when to Go and knowing when to Wait. Senna instinctively knew to back out of the move and live to fight another day, going on to win the title.
@@puketaiThat's nonsense! It was the other way around. Senna took Mansell out. Mansell being on a different strategy attempted to pass Senna for the third time that race and Senna couldn't take it and cut in on him.
Nope, you cleary know nothing about it. Mansell was black flagged at the time for starters. Drama queen that succeeded in F1 because he was a marketable Brit. Suck it up princess.
Mansell did more than one great overtake. The one on Piquet at Silverstone in 1986 or 1987 sticks out. He,Also did another great overtake of Piquet at Brands,Hatch the previous year. Also his overtake of Gerhard Berger at the last corner in Mexico (1990?)
This is so funny because every time i think of him i think of him passing out in Dallas and coming in dead last. how many titles did Mansell win? He had the most technologically advanced car to spin four wheels on the planet in the Williams FW14B and that’s how he won A title . And a lot of it came with advantages such as pneumatic valves, which at the time Valeo had patented it the Mclaren Ford was down on power as everyone else so please know the history Blah Blah Blah 😂
Nah dawg. Senna literally got blocked and had to black out away from the back marker. Mansell simply got lucky and had clear air ahead to overtake. Nothing extraordinary in his driving. Nowhere near the level of Ayrton.
the ferrari v12 even if is powerful completely lack torque down lown... byt the time the engine wake up the car already lost plenty of gap out of the corner into the straight.
Why are you so excited while commenting, it was more than 30 years ago? Seems out of place and doesn't raise the excitement, just makes you wonder why you do that voice. Just some criticism meant to be constructive.
This rave showed the keen fans just how shit prost was. Prost had always blamed his car for his lack of ability just as he did in this race. Unfortunately, Mclaren were asked what this issue was & relied the car is fine & the engine is flawless. When you look back at Prosts career, he only ever won by being to slow to tax the car & was the only top car still racing.
People aren't anti-British, they're against the pro-British bias. It's a reaction to the nationalistic attitude for pundits and journalists, even stewards and other officials, who applied double standards.
60 poles in 7 years, with the best car in only 2 of those but also Prost, the best driver at the time, as his teammate. You're totally out of your mind calling him overrated...
@hristoitchov who said that he didn't have the best cars ? You don't know. You carry on just following the crowd. He cheated meny times, not a sign of a great driver.
It"s Gerhard BEEEEERGER not "Burger". He is Austrian, so pronounce it in the Austrian way, don't turn him into a new product on the MacDonalds' menu. I'm sure you don't appreciate it either if the French transform English or American names into a kind of abstract painting with words.
So Senna got hold up by an idiot giving Mansell the big opportunity to pass Senna who was forced to slow down makes Mansell THE BOSS???? The Ferrari itself was a fast car too. When either Mansell or Berger finished they finished in 1st, 2nd or 3rd showing how fast the car really was! Senna still had an old school gearbox while Mansell had a gearbox that helped the driver and was a few years later a standard in F1 and other Motorsport series. Mansell was a good driver but by far not as good as Prost or Senna but Mansell was ways better on the golf course compared to the other drivers and this was Mansells biggest weakness as he loved golf as much as F1!
@@johnhodges8264 So Mansell took again advantage in using Sennas wind shadow and overtaking Senna on a long and wide straight line where NO skill is needed by a driver to overtake!
@@MacVSog64-72 What are you talking about? Senna bottled out by breaking first, if Senna had the balls of mansell he would of breaked later and passed him on the outside of the corner.I suggest you watch the video N.M year in indycar which he won, breaking the lap record on his first practise on one their street circuits and averaged over 230 MPH in practice on an oval.
Utter nonsense, he handed Piquet his arse on multiple occasions, he made both Senna and Prost look ordinary on multiple occasions including at this race
What an amazing day for Mansell. Thank you for bringing it back to life.
Even though I know the full story of this race, being an F1 fan since 1987, the production of this video has to applauded. Great storytelling!
Good old days...The Lion was my favourite drivers all or nothing big heart big balls . That was one of best days of my life
We had the gr8est 4. Piquet, Mansel, Prost and Senna.
Big balls and no brain 😂
Prost came with funding and political backing of the F1 Organisation. Senna came with much money and talent. Mansell struggled with budget not coming from money unlike the rest he was a working class bloke with absolute determination to beat the established toffs and given the tools that he did both sides of the pond. A real class act for me.
Considering where he came from he did amazingly well. He always sells himself short. To have that much determination to succeed is extraordinary.
The 4 titans of that era were godsent
Finally someone who knows what they are talking about
the man remortgaged his house to make it. He even convinced his wife to do it. That's real determination.
@S2KEVIN I'm glad he did, loved the battles between him and Senna, definitely made F1 better
Mansell made F1 --- he was a total racer .
I was there for the race in 1989. The seat I was in had Mansell starting directly in front of us.
I was in the Grandstand too, in Silverstone 89GP, Senna got the jump and held the lead for 3 laps in a much inferior car
"He was easily the toughest driver, and the most ferocious driver to protect his area of space.". Mansel about Senna in Top gear Senna tribute
Yea but when you are not British and whoop British ass with tough racing the most unsportsmanlike country shits on you for years.
No bigger hypocrites than the British in sports.
Mansell was tenacious and sacrificed his house to make it to F1…he was an incredible racing driver & refused to allow anyone intimidate him
Mansell was TRULY - THE LION! I followed him from his beginnings to hi slast race. TOP BRITISH drivers appear only ONCE in a decade! That move was a CLASSIC and is still copied today where possible! The 'Mansell Manoeuvre'
Fantastic overtake mansell was excellent driver senns vs mansell what battles
Both Senna and Mansell were remarkable racers. Main diference though Senna won 3 wdc and Mansell lost 3 wdc.
The greatest driver of all time. He changed the face of F1 and Indy cars forever.
Chill bro 😂

Great mini doc. I wasn’t all that into F1 back then, years later it’s fantastic to look back and learn about these seminal moments in the sport.
Mansell at his peak either chasing down a leader or trying for a fastest lap for pole position was untouchable. Ive never seen a driver with more determination, bravery and sheer brilliance. God bless you Nigel 🇬🇧

Thanks for writing what I had been thinking. One race does not define the man. Heck, even Lance Stroll had an F1 podium
I remember a Brazilian guy back in the 90s telling me that he thought Mansell was almost as good as Senna.
When pushed Frank Williams said he can't say Mansell is a worse driver than Senna.

With all respect to Mansell... You have to be Brittish or a moustache lover to state Mansell EVER bossed Senna.
Great video

Mansel couldn't hold a candle to Senna or Prost
One of 2 best overtaking manoeuvres ever. The other Mika / Schumacher spa.
It's often overlooked, but Montoya had 2 or 3 amazing overtakes against Schumacher.

These are the years that I watched F1, some great races
Love Mansell but don’t see enough of him
Nigel legend❤
How have you got only 1.9k subs this is amazing
Yeah… well he only could do that once…. No one talks about Mansell anymore….
While Senna was tweaking his car with his engineers and trying to improve the safety of the track, Mansel was mostly on the golf course.. Mansel was good. Senna is a legend!
You don’t show who the boss is in a day, oh dear god the British and sports 🙈
The best Mansell's speed on hungaroring was on 1988...
Mansell was a good driver , Senna as a racing God
F1 was better then! Now, engines rarely fail, and drivers had more guts! However the top frive drivers are always the best you can get!
Only time Senna was passed all season. By a wildly illegal Ferrari ;)
Mansell was the greatest F1 driver the UK has ever had - but he's working class so that will never be acknowledged.
Mansell was good, but was no Senna
Senna !!!!
Oh I don't know, senna drove himself into a wall. Never give up indeed.
Very, very good.

Nigel better than Ayrton Senna? nah you all are kidding lol 😂
F1 LEGENDS ❤ MY HEROES❤
