We flew to Indianapolis in ‘93 to see Nigel in the Indy 500, we saw him with his family in the driver roped off area and shouted for an autograph, as soon as he heard our accents he told his ppl to let us in and sat with us asking where we’re from, took photos with us and signed everything we asked him…..totally star struck as a youngster we were all blown away and he made our trip.

You absolutely nailed it, showing the true emotional family man behind the phenomenal driver that Mansell was. Many other drivers had a succession of trophy wives, Nige restricted himself to a succession of trophies! Possibly the only driver who was a match for Senna. What a legend he is, and what a great interview you gave us. xx ps the Brazilian driver whose name neither of you could remember - Rubens Barrichello

I absolutely agree. Not only is this the most revealing interview with NM ever, it’s done with a great deal of affection & sincerity. Kudos, Jodie. And bloody hell, I knew he was determined & tough, but some of the tales of racing when most of us wouldn’t have been standing at all made me wince. The tragic deaths were horrible, and to lose people you liked very much yet to continue is impossible to fully appreciate, at least not by me. The number of times Nigel drove races & near-impossible manoeuvres meant fans always willed him on, knowing that, if his car was competitive, he would take some beating. Skill, courage, determination, will to win. It’s wonderful to see him looking content & I hope not in too much physical discomfort after several potentially career- if not life-ending injuries. The harsh realities are that we never fully heal & many mended injuries leave marks which hurt, frankly. He’s earned his well-loved status as a retired lion!

The year I got the Patent for it, is the year Nigel finally got the crown. I'll never forget it!

This was a great interview, Nigel got me hooked on F1 and motorsport in general in 1985 when he first drove for Williams (I was 12). He's been my sporting hero every since, was lucky to see him go by at Goodwood. Legend of the sport, and far better than his 1 title suggests, he's up there with the Senna imo. Only bad luck, and arguing with Frank prevented him from achieving more. So thanks for this

Having followed Williams from 1977 and their inception at Didcot and my very first job letter that I posted out after leaving school was to WGPE in June 1978, the period of Keke and Nigel as the FW10 was improved is one of the most wonderful times - I met Nigel a few times but at the Tribute to Williams day at Brands Hatch at the end of 1986 there was a lot of fun when Nigel and Patrick Head raced Ford XR3's -not a straight panel to be seen at the end.What followed over the next years were perhaps the best days of F1 I have seen - a great interview Jodie and also brought back lots of experiences I had with F1 30+ years ago.

Thank you Jodie for bringing the best out of Nigel. When you think you know a fair bit from watching and supporting every race you actually know sweet FA. My brother and friends swarmed onto the track at Brands Hatch for Nigel's first win. It only feels like last week. Great Memories Thank You

Thank you for such a fantastic interview, just incredible. It was personal and Nigel is such a wonderful person. He was very popular here in Adelaide. He would have won in 1992 if Ayrton had not smashed into him coming into the hairpin on pit straight. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

Absolutely stunning interview. Learned so many new things about Nigel. Luv the respect you showed him. Thanks Jodie. (The other driver you and Nigel where trying to remember of that awful weekend in Imola 1994 is Rubens Barrichello he drove for the Jordan team at that time)

@@hughmccarry4950 Thanks for the reply Hugh. De Cesaris also drove for Jordan in that race (stood in for Eddie Irvine while he was suspended), but it was Barrichello who had the other big crash just before the pits entrance in qualifying.

Nigel Mansell, a legend. Those were the F1 best years. Senna, Prost, etc. I will always remember Mansell chasing down Senna at the Monaco Grand Prix. Epic stupid close racing

A little story for you, really enjoyed this interview, what a legend. Many years ago circa 93 ish, my italian boss acquired a Testarossa from a dealership in Wiltshire. He stated it was formerly owned by Nigel. On his way back from the dealership the day he collected it he was clocked at over 100mph and banned for a month from driving. The car sat in our company HQ and our boss gave us the incentive to perform by saying the most productive employee that month would get the Testarossa for the weekend. I won and had the car for the weekend at 20 years old! I've always wondered if indeed it was owned by Nigel.

Jeez - Talk about doing it tough. So many painful experiences - just grits and carries on - what a legend.
