F1 trickery






Whether such antics occur today, perhaps we will only discover in a decade or so. 1992 champion Nigel Mansell, though, has an intriguing tale of F1 trickery to impart. In Adelaide (Australia) for the '94 finale, the Briton found himself in the late Ayrton Senna's Williams. Perhaps more worthy of note, though, was the title duel between Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill.


Mansell put his car on pole. "It was probably the worst moment of my life," he recalled.

Nigel, now 52, says he was 'taken aside' and told to make a slow start so as not to get in the way of the 'Schu v. Hill' battle. "I'm not prepared to say who by," he told ITV.

'Our Nige' also recalled how he got into 'so much trouble' for stopping circuit workmen from - against FIA rules - lowering kerbs at the chicane after Schumacher's Saturday shunt.

In the end, Mansell - after Schumacher took out Hill - won. It was his thirty first, and last, grand prix victory. "But what went on beforehand," he said, "has soured my memories of the day."

Farce! :x Who knows what else goes un-reported!

Then again 'our Nige' does tend to talk crap from time to time. Like how he recently slags F1 for its driver aids making the cars easy nowadays, fair enough but a)your chapionship winning Williams had more gizmos then the kitchen sink, including Active Suspension and b) I saw you stall a 2003 Jordan in the London parade in '04 !
But I doubt hes talking crap here! Discraceful!!
