Autosport throwing shade at Ferrari, showing Mansell on that red lawn mower.12:15

If I remember correct every time he finished at Ferrari it was top 4, but Nigel had a tremendous number of car failures at Ferrari. He probably thought the lawn mower was the vehicle to be in one of the many F1 champions to be let down by Ferrari.

On the contrary, Piquet is constantly under-ranked, especially by Brits, who are to be admired for their unconditional love for Nigel Mansell. The guy was a disaster at Lotus, mediocre at Ferrari and pathetic at McLaren. He was indeed a good driver at Williams but he lost to Piquet as his teammate and could only win a championship when it was absolutely impossible to lose it (due to the huge equipment advantage he had). There is no way he should be higher in this list than Piquet, who - let's not forget - BEAT him, let alone be the 1st.

Circumstances played a lot in each drivers case so I don’t think it’s a fair comparison. I would put Montoya ahead of Jacques for example, who was up against peak Schumacher/Ferrari dominance. Mansell was at peak Williams dominance with active suspension. Hill took them through the dark times of 1994 and for that I would put him at the top. It must have been extremely tough to see your team mate lose their life and have to take the team forward as a leader

@@harbushy Being in Europe, the only way to watch the F1 on Sunday afternoons was via the BBC, and the Hill "reverence" shown by the BBC in those days got pretty annoying to a non-English (the country) person, when considering his team mate was Prost who completely dominated him in '93. (13 poles vs 2). Then Senna really showed up how much more potential was in the car, by out-qualifiying Hill by over a second for the first 3 straight races of the '94 season. Senna got more pole positions in the first 3 races of '94 than Hill did the entire previous season! Then looking at wins, Hill got the same number of wins over '95 & '96 that Villeneuve got over '96 & '97. Nope, if they're going to put Villeneuve down in 7th, they need Hill down near there too! Anyway, those were great racing days and fun to reminicse! Thanks.

Carlos Reutemann was forced to play #2 to Jones in '80, didn't have the team on his side during his '81 campaign, fought a Brabham car that was on the fringes of being illegal, drove a busted car at Caesars, and still only lost the title by 1 point having led almost the whole way until then (Bernie also just came out admitting he manipulated that championship in Piquet's favor). I think it's unfair to put an actual wingman ahead of someone who was cheated out of a championship like that

Interesting list. Its a bit of a futile act to try and rank them and circumstance cannot be accurately measured but not a bad effort. Personally I would have Prost a bit higher and Jones and Damon a little lower but number one without a doubt, Mansell, no discussion needed. Edit : Reading the comments it seems many miss the obvious fact a definitive list will always be devisive which I presume is the point of making this video in the first place.

I once saw some articles that Mansell wasn't as good as we remember: favoured in Lotus despite not being better than Di Angelis, then went to Williams mostly beacuse despite not being better than many other young drivers, winning 1 title despite 4 years in the best car on the grid (sure, he had some bad luck, but he was making more mistakes than Prost, Piquet or Senna). And he was dominated by Prost in Ferrari so badly that he started to sabotage him. And Williams hiring him again despite Nigel leaving them in the crisis and Boutsen having decent results. But still, over 30 wins is something...

The biggest mistake Frank Williams and Patrick Head did was letting Adrian Newey go even though he wanted to stay. He asked for a stake of the team but they weren't willing to give it to him. Williams could have won multiple championships in the 2000's with the power of the BMW engine and Newey's designed cars. Just imagine how different the history of Formula 1 could have been if Williams and Head made Newey co-owner of the team.
