Formula 1 legend and World Champion Nigel Mansell joins Ben Fowler on Road To Success for an extraordinary conversation about his racing career, his fierce rivalry with Ayrton Senna, the terrifying crashes that nearly cost him his life, and why he believes modern Formula 1 has lost some of what made the sport so special.
From being told he would never walk again to racing at over 230mph just days after major surgery, Nigel reveals the extraordinary determination and sacrifices behind becoming one of Britain’s greatest racing drivers.
Nigel opens up about his relationship with Ayrton Senna, his experiences with Ferrari and Enzo Ferrari, the brutal reality of racing in the 1980s and 90s, and his thoughts on Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and today’s generation of F1 drivers.
He also shares the heartbreaking moments that changed his life forever, including losing fellow drivers and the near-death experience that saw him being given his last rites.
This is Nigel Mansell like you’ve rarely heard him before. An unforgettable insight into the mindset, courage and determination of a Formula 1 World Champion.
