Before 1990, Prost and Mansell were good buddies, but when Mansell started working with Prost, he found him to be to himself, not sharing much info. Alain basically took the team under his arm and worked in that direction, leaving Mansell to his own devices. Prost realy learnt his lesson in the wake of the McLaren episode. He did the right thing, you have to be selfish to suceed in this business, and he almost took Ferrari to the top.
You focus on the point Jeepy: what I mean when I talked about he was kicked asses was exactly that: in my point of view Piquet demonstrated to be a more constant driver, and he managed to find the way to beat Mansell. Nigel was faster than Nelson, but speed is just one issue on motorsport…. Alain also did in 1990 what he had to do. The problem Mansell had was that he NEVER managed to find the way to win a Championship (except 92 with a VERY SUPERIOR car…
So, to me luciano buddy, the same bad luck syndrome applies to Mansell during his William years. Specially in 91. But I agree with you that he lacked the personnal motivation to carry the whole team behind him. It happened in 92. To me, mansell should been World champion at least 3 times.
And Jabouille was sadly way to unlucky. Remember the Austrian GP of 1980, when he did the whole race on just 1 set of tires? He won it in no heroic matter, kept a supeior Williams behind him, he used his racecraft and intelligence to stay ahead. Jabouille, to me was unlucky. He was certainly world class material, a truly underrated driver. If otherwise, he would be in the Prost league, both cast out of the same mold definately.
why all this respect for the 80´s pilots and so little respect for the 21th century pilots?
Ok, Prost could be better pilot than Senna, but, why Schumacher can´t be better than both of them?
Yes, legends are good things, but, you should not be deceived by them!
All of us have seen crashes and spins so ridiculous of Senna, Mansell and so on that even some can say they are overvalorated, and they were not special!
I say they still are good, but Schumacher is better, what´s the problem?
hunt you are sooo wrong..even schummi knows who is better..wake up..m s didint score a single pole while racing witn the legends..pleas give up that schummi shit..senna won im monca in his debute with a toleman for god sake…and was robbed by jm ballestre ..pleas wake up
well that benetton that m s was driving had 80hp more than senna´s maclaren.,,,and michal shum. lost to alonso twice in a row ..alonso was learning his trade..had an equal car and managed to kick shummi´s ass twice…well that makes alonso best of all times then,,,,of course not!!!senna was the best..just cant compare senna with m s. try compare senna with clark or fangio or gilles then you will have a point rob…
