Nigel Mansell was an elite professional who raced single-seater Formula 1 for 15 seasons between 1980 and 1995, primarily for Williams. He was British, competed at the highest level of international motorsport, and in 1992 won the Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship. His career spanned 190 Formula 1 starts across those years, yielding 31 wins and 59 podiums.[1]
Mansell's record placed him among the strongest drivers of his era. He finished ahead of Alain Prost, a four-time World Champion, 27 times across their careers, and ahead of Nelson Piquet, a three-time champion, on 30 occasions. Against regular opponents of established professional standing, Mansell proved consistently competitive; he ran closely matched with Riccardo Patrese and typically finished ahead of Andrea de Cesaris. His 1992 championship season with Williams represented the apex of his single-seater career. After a two-round entry to the 1995 Formula 1 season, he retired from that series; a single endurance start in FIA GT racing in 2007 marked his final indexed appearance.[2]
