News Feature - Nigel Mansell talks about himself and about Ferrari
In England every pub has a slightly inebriated man in the corner. Invariably this gent has an opinion about Nigel Mansell: race ace, celebrity, harrassed hero, diva, family man, policeman -- you hear it all. It's fun listening, but what is he really like?

It was his Williams which made contact with Ayrton Senna's McLaren and resulted in the Brazilian spinning out of the lead.
