🇬🇧 Nigel Mansell

Nigel Mansell was an established professional racing driver who competed in Formula 1 from 1980 to 1995, primarily for Williams. He was also entered in one FIA GT Championship endurance race in 2007. His rating places him in the elite professional band; during his peak years in the early 1990s he competed at a level materially stronger than that, winning the 1992 Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship.[1]

Mansell took 31 wins and 59 podium finishes across 190 Formula 1 starts spanning fifteen seasons. The championship came in 1992 with Williams during a dominant campaign. He contested a partial season in 1995, finishing 17th in the championship standings across two rounds before stepping back from the sport. His sole entry in the FIA GT Championship came in 2007 in a shared-drive endurance race.[2]

In Formula 1, Mansell raced regularly against established professionals including Riccardo Patrese, with whom he was closely matched, and Andrea de Cesaris, whom he typically finished ahead of. He beat both Alain Prost, a five-time world champion, and Nelson Piquet, a three-time world champion, multiple times across their careers, though the head-to-head records favoured those elite drivers substantially. The Williams team for which Mansell scored most of his career results has fielded 59 drivers across the index and counts among its strongest entrant George Russell.
