Nigel Ernest James Mansell (born August 8, 1953) is a famous British former racing driver. He competed in Formula One from 1980 to 1995. Mansell won the Formula One World Drivers' Championship in 1992 with the Williams team. He also won 31 Grand Prix races over 15 seasons.

In American open-wheel racing, Mansell won the IndyCar World Series in 1993 with Newman/Haas Racing. He is the only driver ever to hold both the Formula One World Drivers' Championship and the American open-wheel National Championship at the same time.

Mansell's Formula One career lasted 15 seasons. He spent his last two full seasons racing in the CART series. He was the reigning F1 champion when he moved to CART. He was the first person to win the CART title in his first season. This made him the only person to hold both major championships at once.

He is the second most successful British Formula One driver in terms of race wins, with 31 victories. Only Lewis Hamilton has more. Mansell is eighth overall on the Formula One race winners list. He held the record for most pole positions in a single season until 2011. He is also the last Formula One driver to win a Grand Prix after turning 40. This happened at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix.

Mansell raced in the Grand Prix Masters series in 2005 and won the championship. He also competed in other sports car races with his sons, Leo and Greg. This included the 2010 24 Hours of Le Mans. He was added to the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2005.

Early Life and Racing Start

Nigel Mansell was born on August 8, 1953, in Upton-upon-Severn, England. His parents, Eric and Joyce Mansell, ran a tea shop. He grew up in Hall Green, Birmingham.

Mansell's racing career began slowly. He used his own money to move up through the racing levels. After success in kart racing, he moved to the Formula Ford series. His father did not approve of this move.

Success in Formula Ford

In 1976, Mansell won six of the nine races he entered. This included his very first race at Mallory Park. The next year, he entered 42 races and won 33 of them. He became the 1977 British Formula Ford champion. This was despite breaking his neck in a qualifying session at Brands Hatch.

Doctors told him he might not drive again. They said he was very close to being paralyzed. But Mansell left the hospital and returned to racing. Just three weeks before his accident, he had quit his job as an aerospace engineer. He had also sold most of his belongings to pay for his Formula Ford racing. Later that year, he got to race a Lola T570 Formula 3 car at Silverstone. He finished fourth and decided to move to higher racing formulas.

Moving to Formula Three

Mansell raced in Formula Three from 1978 to 1980. His first season started with a pole position and a second-place finish. However, his car was not very good. A deal meant his team had to use Triumph engines, which were much weaker than the Toyota engines used by other teams. After a few races, he left the team.

The next season, he drove for David Price Racing. He got his first win in the series at Silverstone in March. He finished eighth in the championship that year. He was a consistent driver. However, a crash with Andrea de Cesaris caused a big accident. Mansell was lucky to survive. He was hospitalized again, this time with broken bones in his back.

Joining Team Lotus

His driving caught the eye of Colin Chapman, who owned Lotus. Soon after his accident, Mansell hid his injuries with painkillers. He performed well during a tryout at the Paul Ricard circuit with Lotus. He was competing against other drivers for a spot on the team. The spot eventually went to Elio de Angelis. But Mansell was chosen to be a test driver for the Formula One team.

Formula One Career

1980–1984: Learning at Lotus

Early Years (1980-1981)

Mansell's skill as a test driver impressed Chapman. He even set the fastest lap at Silverstone in a Lotus car. This led Chapman to give him three starts in F1 in 1980. In his first F1 race at the 1980 Austrian Grand Prix, a fuel leak burned his legs. He had to retire from that race and his second due to engine problems. An accident in his third race meant he did not qualify.

His teammate, Mario Andretti, crashed his car in the last race of the season. So, Mansell had to give up his car for Andretti to race. Andretti then left Lotus, leaving a spot open. Despite some doubts, Chapman announced Mansell would fill the spot.

Struggles and Support (1981-1982)

Mansell's four years as a full-time Lotus driver were tough. The cars were not reliable, and his teammate, Elio de Angelis, often performed better. Out of 59 races with Lotus, he finished only 24. His best finish was third place, which he achieved five times.

In 1982, Mansell wanted to race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans to earn more money. Chapman thought this was too risky. So, he paid Mansell not to race at Le Mans. Chapman also extended Mansell's contract, making him a millionaire.

Mansell became very close to Chapman. Chapman made him an equal driver with de Angelis. Mansell was very sad when Chapman suddenly died in 1982. After Chapman's death, the team's new boss, Peter Warr, did not think highly of Mansell.

Challenges and Changes (1983-1984)

For the 1983 season, de Angelis was made the clear number one driver. He got to use the fast but unreliable turbo-charged Lotus car all season. Mansell did not get to drive a turbo car until the ninth race, the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. In that race, he started 16th and finished fourth in a new car.

Warr did not want Mansell to stay for the last year of his contract. But Lotus's sponsors wanted a British driver. So, Mansell stayed with the team.

In 1984, Mansell finished in the top 10 of the championship for the first time. He also got his first pole position. But he still finished behind de Angelis. At the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix, Mansell surprised everyone by taking the lead in a wet race. But he crashed out soon after.

Later that year, Lotus announced that Ayrton Senna would join the team for 1985. This left Mansell without a seat at Lotus. He received offers from other teams and decided to join Williams.

Mansell is remembered for collapsing at the 1984 Dallas Grand Prix. His car's transmission failed on the last lap. He tried to push his car to the finish line in very hot conditions (about 40°C). He fainted but still managed to get a sixth-place finish.

Mansell claimed that his last race with Lotus, the 1984 Portuguese Grand Prix, was affected by Warr not giving him the brake pads he wanted. His brakes failed with 18 laps left while he was in second place.

1985–1988: Success at Williams

Joining Williams (1985)

In 1985, Frank Williams hired Mansell to drive for the Williams team alongside Keke Rosberg. Mansell was given the number 5 on his car. It was changed to red to help tell it apart from Rosberg's car. This led to his famous nickname, "Red 5."

Rosberg, the 1982 World Champion, was initially against Mansell joining. But the two drivers became good friends.

The 1985 season started slowly for Mansell. But the Honda engines became more powerful. Mansell finished second at the 1985 Belgian Grand Prix. He then got his first victory in 72 starts at the 1985 European Grand Prix in England. He won again at the South African Grand Prix. These wins made Mansell a Formula One star.

Championship Contender (1986)

In 1986, the Williams-Honda team had a car that could win often. Mansell felt confident and became a strong contender for the World Championship. He also had a new teammate, two-time World Champion Nelson Piquet. Piquet had joined Williams to win races again.

Mansell won five Grand Prix races in 1986. He was also part of one of the closest finishes in F1 history. He finished second to Ayrton Senna in the Spanish Grand Prix by only 0.014 seconds. Mansell led the championship for most of 1986. The title race went down to the last event in Australia. Mansell's left-rear tire exploded with only 19 laps left. He safely stopped the car. If he had crashed, the race might have been stopped, and he could have won the title. Instead, he finished second to Alain Prost. For his efforts, he was named the BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

The 1986 season was tough for Williams off the track. Team owner Frank Williams was in a bad car accident. He became paralyzed. His absence caused tension between the team and Honda. Honda wanted Piquet to be the number one driver. But Mansell and Piquet took points from each other, allowing Alain Prost to win the championship.

More Wins and Injury (1987)

Mansell won six more races in 1987. This included a very popular victory at Silverstone for the 1987 British Grand Prix. He came back from 28 seconds behind to beat Piquet.

A serious crash during qualifying in Japan for the second-to-last race injured Mansell's back. He missed the last two races. Piquet became champion for the third time. Piquet said his win over Mansell was "a win of intelligence over stupidity."

Difficult Season (1988)

In 1988, Mansell was the main driver for Williams. But Williams lost their powerful Honda turbo engines to McLaren. They had to use a less powerful engine. It was a bad season. Williams tried a new, unreliable suspension system. Mansell finished only two of 14 races, but both were podium finishes. One was a second place at the 1988 British Grand Prix.

Mansell got chickenpox in the summer of 1988. After racing in the hot 1988 Hungarian Grand Prix, his illness got worse. He missed the next two races. He was replaced by Martin Brundle and Jean-Louis Schlesser. Mansell announced he would leave Williams to join Ferrari for 1989.

1989–1990: Racing for Ferrari

Joining Ferrari (1989)

Mansell was the last Ferrari driver personally chosen by Enzo Ferrari before Ferrari's death in 1988. Mansell called this "one of the greatest" honors of his career. In Italy, fans called him "il leone" ("the lion") because of his brave driving.

The 1989 season brought big changes. Turbo engines were banned, and Ferrari introduced a new electronic gearbox. Mansell thought 1989 would be a learning year. He hoped to challenge for the championship in 1990.

He won his first race with Ferrari at the 1989 Brazilian Grand Prix. This was surprising because it was his least favorite track. He joked that he had booked an early flight home because he expected the new gearbox to fail. Mansell was the first driver to win a race with a semi-automatic gearbox. He was also the first driver to win on his Ferrari debut since Mario Andretti in 1971.

The rest of 1989 had many problems with the gearbox and other parts. He was disqualified at the 1989 Canadian Grand Prix. He was also banned from the next race for reversing in the pit lane at the 1989 Portuguese Grand Prix. However, Mansell finished fourth in the championship. He got a second win for Ferrari at the 1989 Hungarian Grand Prix. He started 12th and made a sensational pass on Ayrton Senna to win.

Teaming with Prost (1990)

The 1990 season with Ferrari was tough. His car had more reliability problems, forcing him to retire from seven races. He was paired with Alain Prost, who was also a World Champion. Prost became the team's lead driver. Mansell felt his car was sometimes swapped with Prost's without his knowledge. After retiring from the 1990 British Grand Prix, he announced he would retire from the sport.

Mansell had only one win in 1990, at the 1990 Portuguese Grand Prix. He finished a thrilling second to Nelson Piquet in Australia. He ended the season fifth in the World Championship.

1991–1992: World Champion with Williams

Return to Williams (1991)

Mansell's retirement plans changed when Frank Williams convinced him to return. Mansell agreed only if certain demands were met. These included being the clear number one driver over Riccardo Patrese. He also wanted guarantees of support from suppliers. Frank Williams initially said the demands were "impossible." But three weeks later, Mansell was a Williams driver again. He was paid £4.6 million a season, making him the highest-paid British sportsman at the time.

His second time with Williams was even better. Back in his "Red 5" car, he won five races in 1991. This included the 1991 Spanish Grand Prix, where he raced wheel-to-wheel with Ayrton Senna at over 320 km/h. After winning the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Mansell gave Senna a ride back to the pits on his car's sidepod. Senna's car had stopped on the final lap.

Williams decided to use a new semi-automatic gearbox at the start of the season. This cost them points in early races. Senna won the first four races. Mansell's car stopped half a lap from the finish in Canada, handing the win to Nelson Piquet. Despite a good mid-season, Senna's consistency meant Mansell finished second in the championship for the third time.

Becoming World Champion (1992)

Mansell started the 1992 season with five straight victories. This was a record until Michael Schumacher in 2004. At the sixth race in Monaco, Mansell led most of the race. But with seven laps left, a loose wheel nut forced him into the pits. He came out behind Ayrton Senna. Mansell, on fresh tires, set a lap record and closed the gap. But he could not find a way past Senna, finishing just 0.2 seconds behind.

Mansell broke the record for most wins by a British driver when he won the 1992 British Grand Prix at Silverstone. He passed Jackie Stewart's record with his 28th win. Mansell was finally crowned Formula One World Champion at age 39 at the 1992 Hungarian Grand Prix. His second-place finish clinched the title early in the season.

He also set the record for most wins in one season (9), which stood until 2002. He managed 14 pole positions that year, a record broken in 2011. He held the record for most races before becoming World Champion (180) until 2016.

Other Formula One records Mansell still holds from 1992 include the highest percentage of pole positions in a season (88%). He also has the most Grand Prix wins (29) before becoming World Champion. Mansell won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award again in 1992.

Leaving F1 (1992)

As world champion, Mansell had a public disagreement with Williams. In his book, Mansell said this was because Williams went back on a deal. Also, his former Ferrari teammate, Alain Prost, was expected to join Williams for 1993.

Mansell's contract was ending. According to Patrick Head, Mansell pushed for an early contract extension. They shook hands on a deal for two more seasons. But Mansell delayed signing the written contract and asked for more money. This made the Williams team angry.

According to Mansell, Williams did not tell him that Prost had signed for 1993. Mansell felt this would be like their time at Ferrari in 1990. Ayrton Senna also wanted to drive for Williams and even offered to drive for free. But Prost had a clause in his contract to block Senna. Williams decided not to pay Mansell's high demands. When Mansell found out that the talk of Senna joining was not true, he decided to leave. He announced his retirement from F1.

CART IndyCar World Series

Mansell then signed with Newman/Haas Racing to race in the CART series. He joined Mario Andretti. At the first race in Australia, he became the first "rookie" to get pole position and win his first race. A few weeks later, he had a big crash in Phoenix, injuring his back.

At the 1993 Indianapolis 500, Mansell led the race but finished third. He lost the lead after a poor restart. On his 40th birthday, Mansell won a 200-mile race at New Hampshire. He went on to win five races in the 1993 CART season. This was enough to win him the championship. This made Mansell the only driver in history to hold both the Formula One and CART championships at the same time.

After this successful season, Mansell received several awards. His Newman/Haas car was less reliable in 1994, and his results suffered. His relationship with Mario Andretti also became difficult. Andretti later said Mansell was his "worst" teammate.

Brief Return to Formula One

1994: Back with Williams

In 1994, after the CART season, Mansell returned to F1 and the Williams team. The team had changed a lot. Damon Hill was now a full-time driver. Prost, who replaced Mansell, had won the 1993 championship and then retired. This allowed Williams and Ayrton Senna to finally work together.

However, the car was unreliable. In the third race at Imola, Senna was killed in a crash. Williams test driver David Coulthard took over Senna's seat. Williams got permission for Mansell to race at the French Grand Prix and the last three races of 1994. Mansell was paid about £900,000 per race. His return was important for F1, which needed a world champion driving.

Mansell, at 41, was not as fast as Hill in races. But he showed his speed in Japan. Mansell won his last Grand Prix in Adelaide, the final race of the season. He out-qualified the two title contenders, Damon Hill and Michael Schumacher. The plan was for Mansell to protect Hill from Schumacher. But both drivers passed him at the start and then crashed, giving Schumacher his first world title.

Mansell reportedly agreed to a new contract with Williams for 1995, but it was later canceled. Williams chose Coulthard instead.

1995: Short Stint with McLaren

After losing the Williams seat, Mansell signed with McLaren for 1995. McLaren's sponsors wanted a world champion. But McLaren and Mercedes wanted a lower-profile driver.

Before the season, Mansell could not fit into the narrow car. Mark Blundell drove the first two races. Mansell's car was ready for Imola. He finished 10th after a clash. At the 1995 Spanish Grand Prix, Mansell was frustrated with his car's handling. He decided to retire after just two races with the team. Mansell said he did not want to just make up the numbers. In 2015, Mansell said he was wrong to leave McLaren so soon.

1997: Jordan Test

Mansell had a few test sessions with F1 teams, including Jordan. This suggested another comeback might happen, but it did not. Reports said a Mansell-Jordan partnership for 1997 was possible. But after tests in December 1996, Mansell decided against it.

British Touring Car Championship

Mansell took part in the 1993 TOCA Shootout at Donington Park. He drove a Ford Mondeo with his red number 5. The race ended badly for Mansell. He was knocked out after a crash with six laps left. He lost control and crashed into a concrete wall.

Mansell returned to racing in 1998 in the British Touring Car Championship. He drove a Ford Mondeo for three rounds. Since number 5 was taken, he raced with the red number 55.

At his first event at Donington Park, he retired early. But in the main race, as the track got wetter, Mansell found himself leading for several laps. He finished fifth. Many fans called this one of the greatest touring car races. This was his best finish in the series. He failed to finish other races and ended 18th in the Drivers' Championship.

Later Appearances and Life

On July 16, 2005, Mansell took part in a "Race of Legends" event. He raced against other Formula One World Champions like Jody Scheckter and Alain Prost. Prost was declared the winner.

Mansell became a driver and investor in the new Grand Prix Masters series. He won the first race of the series in Kyalami in November 2005. He also won the season opener in Qatar in April 2006.

In 2006, he drove demonstration laps at Brands Hatch in a BMW M3 GTR. On May 6, 2007, he appeared in the FIA GT Championship at Silverstone. He drove a Ferrari 430 GT2 and finished seventh in class.

Mansell and his son Leo tested a Le Mans prototype car in 2008. They were thinking about racing in the American Le Mans series. On July 3, 2009, Mansell tested his other son Greg's race car at Silverstone Circuit.

Mansell raced a Ginetta-Zytek in the 2010 24 Hours of Le Mans with both his sons. This was the first time a father raced at Le Mans in the same car as his two sons. However, he crashed after only five laps due to a tire puncture. Mansell later said the accident left him unable to talk or recognize his family. To recover, he started learning magic. He is now a member of the Magic Circle.

Since 2010, Mansell has served as a former driver on the stewards' panel for several Formula One Grands Prix.

Books and Media

Mansell has written several books about racing:

In the Driving Seat (1989)
Driven to Win (1990)
Mansell and Williams: Challenge for the Championship (1991)
Indycar Racing (1993)
My Story (1995)
Staying on Track (2015)

Mansell appeared in Prince Edward's charity TV special The Grand Knockout Tournament (1987). He also had three video games named after him: Nigel Mansell's Grand Prix (1988), Nigel Mansell's World Championship Racing (1993), and Newman/Haas IndyCar (1994). He was a playable driver in the video game F1 2013.

Mansell made a guest appearance on Top Gear in 2005. He also appeared as a wax figure in an episode of The Grand Tour.

Personal Details

Mansell married Roseanne on April 19, 1975. He lived on the Isle of Man for most of his F1 career. He now lives in Jersey, Channel Islands. He spent 11 years as a Special Constable on the Isle of Man and in Devon. He also developed a golf course in Devon.

Mansell is a keen golfer. He owned a sports car dealership in Pimperne, Dorset. He was also the owner of the Team UK Youth cycling team. His sons, Leo and Greg, are also former racing drivers.

Mansell has owned several cool cars, including a 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC and a 1984 Audi Quattro.

"Red 5"

Nigel Mansell is strongly linked with the number 5. This started when he joined Williams in 1985 and was given car number 5. To make his car easier to spot, the number was changed to red. BBC F1 commentator Murray Walker started calling his car "Red Five." Mansell kept the red number throughout his time at Williams. When he returned to Williams in 1991, he was "Red Five" again.

When he moved to CART in 1993, he also used the red number 5. Even when he returned to Williams for four races in 1994, his number 2 car had a red number on the nose. In 2004, he bought a yacht and named it Red 5.

Awards and Recognition

Mansell won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award in both 1986 and 1992. Only four other people have won it more than once. He was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2005. Mansell won the Hawthorn Memorial Trophy seven times. This award is for the best British or Commonwealth driver in F1 each year.

He was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE). In 2012, he was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for his work with children and young people. He also received the Special Constabulary Long Service Medal.

In 2015, turn 17 of the Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez track was renamed in Mansell's honor. He won the Mexican Grand Prix there twice (1987 and 1992). He received The London Classic Car Show Icon Award in 2018. He was also inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 2006.
