imi Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Mansell#1989-1990:Ferrari "In this season he was paired with Alain Prost, the reigning World Champion, who took over as the team's lead driver and played on Mansell's inferiority complex. Mansell recalls one incident where at the 1990 British Grand Prix, the car he drove didn't handle the same as in the previous race where he took pole. On confronting the mechanics, it transpired that Prost saw Mansell as having a superior car and as a result, they were swapped without telling Mansell.[10] After retiring from the race, he announced he was retiring from the sport altogether at the end of the season" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
