      He was about to give more insight, talk about what exactly he was doing there...
      Until Peter cut him off.
      Mansell even tried to prevent him but Peter was so confident with his BS.
      It's crazy how much Windsor takes himself seriously, despite he was a marketing person with zero racing background, not a mechanic, engineer or driver.
      When he talks about driving styles, you can see that he's just making up stuff.

    Really honest and good insight from Nigel here. Basically saying he was driving perfectly on the traditional racing line, was getting caught and couldn’t understand it.
    It was only when Nigel got a bit rattled and out of shape in certain corners he discovered the extra grip and worked out what Michael was doing.
    It’s as close as you’ll hear a racing driver come to say that he probably learned something from another driver that day.

    Schumacher was the best ever, until 1993 in Monaco he had manual gearbox, against the paddle shifter of Ferraris, McLaren and Williams. Then Mansell was my 2nd favorite driver all time, the most aggressive, the craziest, the personality, IL lione was a show apart. I miss watching him driving.

    I remember watching that race live. It was the classic race where Mansell and Senna went wheel to wheel down the straight.
    James Hunt clearly thought Mansell was toying with Michael too in his commentary, and when he started to open the gap back up I remember him say “that’s clearly a bit of an ‘up yours’ to Michael”. Great memories.

      you are forgetting in the rain engine supply matches from V10 to V8 to V12 so the V8 cars (lighter to a certain point) have no disadvantage to V10 engine cars. In fact probably the V8 was giving power in a smoother way to Michael so he could use it better.

Have a look at the Ferrari season and the DNF'S Mansell had compared to Prost. Don't finish, don't score points. in 1991, you forget to mention how unreliable the car was and how far Senna was infront in the Championship before they got the car to finish a race.
