So?

There was no bullying or harassment, it is KZbin safe under the new guidelines... I can't wait for all the make up tutorials and cat videos to be recommended.

GUNNERSIGHTZEROED So? Like you’ve never watched a rerun on television. Always someone whining about recommended video. You don’t want to watch the damn thing then delete it and move on. Maybe they think you missed it the first time around. Maybe they throw in a old popular video for the fuck of it, who cares what the fuck showed up in your recommendations.

[@thefreedomguyuk]

Wow, never seen this before. Whatever the passenger had paid for that ride, surely this must have been the best investment ever. I've been in a F1 crash, with Nigel Mansell! FACT !! I -I bow to thee !!

[@davide578]

it was the last corner of the last lap, so at 99% was a great investment

[@sickspeed10]

WOW

[@metlmuncher]

He got the full experience for sure

[@rnichol22]

Except he crashed into the back of the boss Paul Stoddart. Was great to watch though, my mistake it was alonso

[@supercooled]

You could say he paid for the full experience of F1.

[@AndrewCurtis57]

You could hear the magic voice of the great Murray Walker in the background. The best F1 commentator ever.

[@Chalky.]

Losing the Mansell Moustache will have upset the balance of the car so was obvious he would crash eventually.

[@cyclopath5475]

Yep. Such a shame it fell off...

[@gosportjamie]

+Marky Yup, reduced downforce due to lack of moustache. Having said that standard operating procedure for Minardi always was to do a few laps and then crash or blow up so...

[@christschinwon]

afterwards he said "well the car was ok but the mustache fell off on second turn in so I had to go all the way to pits to pick up a new one. I can't believe this"

[@Evilize666]

Was this actually a race? Because Mansell sure thought so...

[@peterbrownless]

It was a "demonstration" race and was scripted that Mansell would win. The accident occurred because Alonso had lost track of the fact he was on the last lap and thus did not get on the gas out of the last corner. Mansell had expected Alonso to be accelerating out of the corner as normal and was caught out by the slow car.

[@maclachj1]

Alonso lifted on exit of Roberts Chicane. There was no avoiding that

[@MatthewLee8383]

And closed the door! Not Mansell's fault.

[@Google_Does_Evil_Now]

Alonso cut the corner, didn't open out and max it on the exit and use the full track and curve right. He wasn't aware of the car behind, his actions weren't predictable.

[@cannyfocus]

Alo did nothing wrong here, and neither a mistake in driving through the chicane. He is not even slowing down from his prev. (slow) speed in the chicane. Mansell just drove into his (Alo) back, to be honest. And that's it. Alo is on the right / outta side of the track, = not closing any door either. Well, at least the passenger is well up, and got his 'accident inclusive (ride)'. Not anybody can say and tell this. ;)

[@multihull40]

cannyfocus Except Alonso unpredictably lifted like as if he was heading into pit lane or something. Obviously he didn’t see Mansell.

[@andyrussell9892]

i was there and it was a staged race. alonso was a rockie at the time and the deal was alonso was to get into the action to make it look good and the ex world champ mansel was supposed to win , unfortunately alonso fogot how many laps were left and found himself in sight of the finish line. Alonso backed off on seeing the flag and mansel having been out of practice for a few years didnt expect him to back off so quickly, On speeking to paul later that night i commented that it was an expensive weekend as paul also blew an engine on a 2 seater. He replied too expensive!

[@StumpyHead79]

andy Russell bloody hell!! I was all annoyed with alonzo lol. I thought Mansel actually had him lol

[@jraybay]

andy Russell Thanks for that :]

[@rnichol22]

andy Russell yep I was there too it was defo staged

[@Google_Does_Evil_Now]

Alonso should have taken the normal line, instead he stayed a bit to the left. And this is especially true if he knew he was putting on a show. Checking his mirrors for the action to begin. No wonder he got in all that trouble, fool.

[@mikeclifton7778]

Louise Goodman had the ride of her life in the back of Alonso's car. Mansell blamed Alonso for the crash. Must be the only accident he had that he didn't need stretchering away.

[@TheVimtoMoustache]

I was there,and Nigel-ever the showman,gave it plenty of welly whenever he returned to the pits. His passenger in the race,if memory serves,was a female rap star-Missy Elliot or someone similar. I remember thinking at the time,that Alonso(who was Minardi's reserve driver at the time)was taking it all too seriously. Just like to say,Paul Stoddart was a thoroughly nice chap-easy going and available to the general public all weekend.

Murray Walker as always fantastic! P.S. I would form competition with all ex F1 drivers and they would drive old F1 cars, from their era. Cars would be built all over again, historic ones wouldn't be used. And of course, Murray Walker would be commentating. Cheers from Croatia!

[@eriktruchinskas3747]

I'm glad he got the experience of the crash cause by the looks of it they were barely driving the car to it or the drivers potential. I'm a bit surprised that they kept heat in the tires

[@keithhoughton4308]

Yes. Short shifting up the hill too. Look at the poor passengers head bobbing around. At full speed it would probably have come off! A couple of laps in his eyes are saying "ok, make it stop now!" The drivers are superhuman to withstand those forces for up to two hours and return lap after lap within tenths of a second. (And in Nigel's day with real gear levers!)

[@eriktruchinskas3747]

What an experience for the guy in the back riding with mansell, a shunt all commentated on by Murray that's money's worth 😊

[@andreas.9175]

The other car slowed down. It wasn't Nigel's fault.

[@DDS029]

This is what happens when you don't go fullout. It screws up the timing of your moves, and the people you are "racing" with, hasn't a clue on how careful you are going to be. Slowing down changes the downforce, but how much? You don't know, you don't usually go 90%. My guess is that lack of downforce likely caused a "push-loose" condition. the car understeers in, due to the to lack of downforce. When the front tires get mechanical grip, the stab of the throttle caused either an oversteer, or a spinning the rear tires which changed the expected launch out of the corner. Any of these could have happened to either of both cars, at times that were unexpected.

it put Minardi out of business. mansell broke back and went into pig farming and Murray just said look at that

[@floridamatty]

Probably a lot of people have paid for that experience but that guys the only one who got the added bonus.

[@2earache]

At first glance, it certainly seemed that Mansell simply misjudged the point at which he could either have eased off the gas realising that the car ahead was not pulling away as quickly as he’d wanted it to. The racing line of the car in front of him appears not to have been in question, but more that Mansell was almost too over-eager to pass at an ill thought-out place on the track.

[@Thegreat772]

The other was alonso I think Murray said.

[@RB747domme]

Nigel was definitely going easy on his passenger, way more so than Martin Brundle was on Murray Walker in the McLaren 2 seater. Martin was driving close to 95% flat out with Murray, and Nigel was driving probably at around 60% or less. So yes he got some experience and learn what it felt like to be in an F1 car under acceleration and braking and some minor g going round corners.. but it wasn't anywhere near the experience that Murray had.

[@craigostl]

Please keep hands inside at all times

[@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab]

[@eliotmansfield]

clearly didn’t bother Murray because he went on to have a go in one too

[@sk8guitardrums]

I would say its the car in front fault as you could see Mansell was slightly turning left to avoid a car that slowed down on the exit of the turn, whereas normally you always accelerate out of a corner, one was slowing and Mansell driving normally and to me wasn't his fault the other car suddenly slowed.

[@kami_narisama]

In those era, literally every workers on the track needs to have big cojones, even the flag waver. If you go way back to the 80s-90s, the flag waver is WAY more closer to the cars than in here, like they're literally in the side of the car passing by. I'm surprised that no one ever got hit at all during those times.
