Nigel Mansel cap, the legend of Mansel, the "Super Mario" in the racing world, has heavy eyebrows and a moustache on his lips. Mansel, the driver of F 1, can be described as "ridiculous and playful" in his early years, because he is like Mario in Super Mario, not only in appearance, but also in his fearless enterprising spirit. Mansel is a soldier, so we should define him. Sometimes we can even say that he is a "madman" who loves racing. Nigel Mansel1953 was born in a small English town, and his childhood was surrounded by the local football culture. However, when he witnessed a driver named jim clark win the British Grand Prix in 1962, he fell in love with racing without hesitation. Perhaps Clark in the British racing industry is not only his idol, but only George W. Mansel turned this idol worship into his dedication to this cause, which will always be in his heart. Racing is a money-burning industry, especially in the initial stage. Children with average family economic conditions like Mansel are doomed to experience "everything is difficult at the beginning". Mansel first took part in the go-kart race and showed his racing talent. Then he turned to Formula Ford despite his father's opposition. To this end, he gave up his job as an aviation engineer and persuaded his wife to sell most of his property, including his house, for him to gamble on his "track life." Of course, only he firmly believes that he is guaranteed to make a profit. Part of the money was spent on the later Formula Ford and F3 competitions, and part of it was used for his medical expenses after a competition accident. Desperate for spinal fracture, so much investment in the game, you must work hard. 1976 made his debut in Ford Formula, and won 6 races in 9 races. This kind of stimulation made him continue to compete in the next year after his neck was seriously injured after the car accident-the doctor once said that he was almost paralyzed and let him rest for half a year, but he used the toilet as an excuse to trick the nurse on duty into fleeing back to the track and finally won the championship. Nigel Mansel simply ignores the dangers that racing cars can bring. He only believes that there must be output if there is input, even if he gives up his whole body. 1979 had another car accident in F3. After surviving the accident, he was taken to the hospital again because of a spinal fracture, but after taking a lot of painkillers, he returned to the game to hide his injury. His strength and spirit were appreciated by Chapman, the owner of the Lotus Team at that time. 1980, he finally dreamed of becoming a driver of Lotus Team. Stubbornly pushed the car to the finish line, but Mansel's F 1 career was ups and downs. Most of the racing cars he worked for, such as Lotus, Ferrari and McLaren, were unstable, which led to many accidents and embarrassment in his races. Fate always seemed to play tricks on him. For example, when he debuted at F 1, he suffered a second-degree burn on his hip due to an oil leak in the cockpit, which ruined the whole debut season of F 1. For example, 1986 and 1987, he missed the annual championship for two years in a good situation because of a last-minute accident. Until 1992, the old genius gave him a world champion. When a bleak life meets an unyielding spirit, it is often easy to create a touching and tragic effect. 1984 The classic scene of the Dallas Grand Prix is still in front of many people: Mansel, who led the first half of the race, suffered a gearbox failure in the last lap, but for a possible score, he struggled to push his car to the finish line at 40 degrees, surrounded by opponents who roared past him ... After being pushed over the finish line, he finally fainted to the ground and was unconscious. Although Mansel's hard-working racing style is very popular with fans, which has won him the reputation of "lion", it must be said that sometimes his "tenacity" will turn into reckless recklessness. For example, in the summer of 1988, he got chicken pox and insisted on participating in the Hungarian race. As a result, his condition deteriorated after fierce fighting at high temperature, which eventually led him to miss the next two races. Countless best drivers are not necessarily the most popular drivers with aggressive personality and enemies. This truth has been repeatedly verified. Schumacher's bad temper, Raikkonen's indifference and Hamilton's autism have all been widely criticized. Although they are recognized as the best drivers in the world, Mansel is no exception. It seems that every successful driver has a lot of criticism behind him. Mansel has many people he doesn't like, not so much because he doesn't like others, but because some of his own words and deeds made people dislike him from the beginning. Mansel has ideals, perseverance, courage to fight and a sense of humor. These are all his advantages, but there is also a famous saying in the racing world: people who worship Mansel are basically people who have never really touched him. Mansel's fiery personality is sometimes aggressive and sometimes superficial and unwise. Mansel will be as rude as his nickname "The Lion" when he treats people who he thinks look down on and slander him ... The most unbearable thing is that he is too conceited and sometimes even makes others embarrass him. Mansel's self-righteous temper, willing to fight against the world, is easy to make enemies for himself. For example, Peter Wall, who succeeded the manager of Lotus Team, didn't like him very much. After Chapman's death, Wall didn't even want to recognize the work contract signed by Chapman and Mansel last year. Mansel would never have stayed in Lotus Team until 1984 if the sponsors hadn't intervened. During his two years in office, Wall always embarrassed Mansel about the configuration of the car. In the last year of Mansel's farewell party, he even joked in public that as long as he farted, Mansel couldn't win. The famous "Manhei" and old Piquet, Brazilians played for Williams-Mansel's next family jumped out of Lotus. Just got rid of a cynical team manager and met a rude teammate, Mansel must have been muttering in his heart. The newly arrived British car king was once publicly called "an idiot with no common sense" by Piquet, and even his wife Rosen was ridiculed. For this mean Brazilian, Mansel fought back more by overtaking him on the track. Then Mansel went to Ferrari, and teammate Alan Prost was not friendly enough in his eyes. Why else does he always whisper to the racing engineer in French and Italian that he doesn't understand? As if trying to hide something. Mansel also mentioned in his memoirs that his car broke down in the 1990 British Grand Prix. Afterwards, it was rumored that Prost was stealing a column. Whether it is true or not, Prost and his personal relationship are not good. Mansel doesn't like many people, because he always feels that many people are against himself, but the person he likes has no long-term fate with him. Chapman, who thanked him in his early years, died in 1982, and Senna, who was highly valued by him and invited to ride his racing car, died young in 1994 due to a car accident. Only Mansel, 56, is still on the track.
