well it looks like Mansell and Hill will be competing against each other in the grand prix masters series..
should make for some excellent racing IMHO.
i rate both of them incredibly highly but for me i have to go with Mansell.
but which is YOUR favourite of the two?

Mansell all the way to be honest!

Morba · 1 Aug 2006 at 16:29

previously i would have said mansell, but for some reason im starting to respect damon more recently.

'Our Nige' ought to win that to be honest

i know what you mean mate.
i've always regarded them both with the utmost respect but i've always felt Mansell was marginally more talented.

Saw these last weekend at Silverstone, and I didn't recognise any of the drivers except for Frank Sytner! No Nige or Damon! They were quite good, but surpassed by the GTP cars, which appearred a lot quicker!

mansell is carrying a good bit of weight ballast

did anyone else pickup on the irony of this members name?

Mansell is undoubtedly very talented, but he is also a complete **** with an ego the size of an American fridge these days.

vanpeebles · 1 Aug 2006 at 18:58

also another point, does damon hill still look like something off rentaghost?

DRZ · 1 Aug 2006 at 19:07

Does Hill have the all-time lead record or was that Mansell? I can remember Hill being something like 1 minute in the lead one race but I cant remember how it panned out.

I read that as an ego with a **** the size of a fridge.

Mansell for me, because "Our Nige" was my F1 hero when I was about 11.

Mansell+Hill+Needel would get me watching every race.

"These days" - he always had a bit of an ego. Still a great driver, and a thoroughly nice chap.
