The Day Nigel Mansell Showed Senna Who’s The Boss | Documentary

[@davidbrooks187]

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 🇬🇧

[@Lukexxxxxx]

nigel mansell is the biggest joke of a driver ever. 92 williams was the most overpowered car in any season and it's carrying his name.

[@merijnvanschaik4989]

@@Lukexxxxxx Although that is true Mansell came very close multiple times before. When he drove for Ferrari he was a force to be reckoned with. Until (or since) then I've never seen a driver tossing an F1 car around like he could.

Mansell was tenacious and sacrificed his house to make it to F1…he was an incredible racing driver & refused to allow anyone intimidate him

Love to see Nigel and Max he wouldn’t be giving him room or backing off that’s for sure.

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!

[@andychatsf1]

[@SenhorPalu]

Great video. I was always for the King Nigel Mansell, but cried like a baby for days when mighty genius Ayrton Senna died. For me F1 also died that day. Never imagined Nigel would carried Senna coffin...

[@ianmcgregor6002]

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.

[@mark4lev]

Considering where he came from he did amazingly well. He always sells himself short. To have that much determination to succeed is extraordinary.

[@simonkevnorris]

I was there for the race in 1989. The seat I was in had Mansell starting directly in front of us.

[@robertpatrick3350]

He had to put up with lots of prejudice and snobbery.

[@SabotsLibres]

Mansell was always a very underrated and often unlucky driver, involved in incidents and technical problems often not of his doing. What is often forgotten is after his big success in Formula 1, he moved in CART racing in the States and won his debut season - a first.

[@composedlight6850]

Mansell made F1 --- he was a total racer .

[@propersplitbrainme]

I remember this race and overtake as if it were yesterday. I literally screamed with joy as Mansell darted past Senna, what a race and what a driver.

[@kesfitzgerald1084]

I remember yelling at the television when Mansell pulled that move. Then, he went in to win. Incredible.

[@israelgloria2850]

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.

This Hungary GP from Mansell was one of the best performances I have ever seen of a driver in a race. Mansell had such days were he was literally unbeatable. This was one of these days.

[@joeycusack8314]

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.

[@ijoseluis]

[@hugoagogo9435]

I remember this race well. My first year watching f1. I was a young Ferrari fan and thought after watching my first ever race at Brazil that year and see Nigel win I had made a fantastic choice in Ferrari. Then it went dramatically downhill till this race. I was absolutely ecstatic watching that overtake and prayed till the end of the race that gearbox didn’t break

[@creepingdread88]

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.

[@celestialtoystore]

This era of F1 was definitive. It had it all: drama, excitement, charismatic and genius drivers and true racing, not the anodyne technological processions we currently see.

[@outfield1988]

I was so passionate about F1 in the 80s and early 90s and now I dislike it so much.

[@Ahito1984]

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

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

[@petyrkowalski9887]

What a pass, what a drive, what a win. 🎉🎉

[@hristoitchov]

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.

[@Crazy_Guitar]

"This is an all-out shoot-out between two of the most aggressive and exciting drivers..." EVER!!!

[@Red5_]

I’ve been a Mansell, Button and JPM at Williams plus a Lewis fan my whole life but Mansell was unique maybe not the best overall but he was the most exciting driver I’ve ever seen. Balls of steel and 110% committed he was fighting the likes of Piquet, Prost and Senna he gave as good as he got whatever he lacked in outright talent he made up with heart and determination. I still haven’t met him yet but it’s the last driver I wish to meet. True world champion reigning F1 and then Indy Car champion something that will never be repeated.

The only thing Mansell showed Senna is he can win only when having a faster car. But hypocrit brits will of course claim otherwise.

[@wolverine343534]

One of the best races I watched, was Senna v Mansell. I think Mansell was with Williams at this point. Senna won, but Mansell had fallen back to like 14th or something like that. Although Senna won, Mansell had came back and was right behind Senna at the finish. To get so close at the end when he was so far back was unreal. Wish I could remember what race it was.

[@v3rlon]

Wouldn’t say he showed Senna whose boss. He just laid out a hell of a race that time and came out ahead against an absolute legend.

Thanks for writing what I had been thinking. One race does not define the man. Heck, even Lance Stroll had an F1 podium

[@koitorob]

Mansell is my motoring hero, but what a miserable bugger he was when i met him. I reckon for most people when you ask to remember the most memorable Mansell/Senna moment on track it'll be Monaco 1992, when Nigel spent three laps after stopping for new tyres and losing the lead to Ayrton and then trying to get past Ayrton in his 17 foot wide McLaren! I wasn't on the edge of my seat while watching those last few laps, i was perched in mid air two feet in front of it!

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.

[@puketai]

This was 1989. Senna didn't take the title, in large part to Mansell taking him out in Portugal. Very dirty and dangerous.

My favourite driver of all time.

[@nathanwilliams2152]

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.

[@kekepiket9153]

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.

[@GrandPrixDecals]

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 KZbin 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 👍
