Nigel Mansell’s greatest F1 and Indycar drives
It’s 30 years since Mansell won the Formula 1 world title and then headed off to do battle in America. Here are his best races – and the Briton’s memories of them
Nigel Mansell scored 31 wins and 32 poles during an illustrious Formula 1 career that culminated in the 1992 world title.
The British driver – who raced for Lotus, Williams, Ferrari and McLaren – provided some of the biggest F1 drama during the 1980s and 1990s before heading off to the United States to take on Indycar.
