Mansell, Prost or Senna

[Cozzie]

Ok here is a question that will cause much debate. It has no doubt been discussed in the past but I am re-opening it. Who is the better of these three? My vote is for Mansell!

Speed is something undoubtedly had in spades but something tells me most historians would find it difficult to concur with your assessment.

I thought Prost outgunned Mansell at Ferrari...?

I'd say Senna due to his ability in the wet and his raw speed, especially in qualifying.

Poll please?

My vote goes for Senna because his "concentration" abilities in qualifying. And because he was my favourite when I started watching F1. Sadly it was in 1993-1994, and I dind´t see too much of him.

How do you make a poll?

i can't see how Mansell can be included in the same league as Senna and Proust......but my choice will always be Aryton Senna

Mansell brought something different, something less tangible to F1, he had something special that drew people to him (though not me).
He inspired devotion from fans, with his (melo) dramatic persona and antics.
I think he was as important to F1 as Senna or Prost because of the interest he created and following he drew.
Greatness is a strange thing to qualify, i think Senna and Prost made each other greater by how they affected each other psychologically and physically, i guess to a lesser extent that was mansells contribution to that era too.

As for his relative abilities compared to the other 2, I am not sure he could entirely match up, though on his day he could take the race to both of them.

I chose Senna because he die as great racing driver in F1

Mansell had the aggression and the racing instincts, Prost the tactical acumen and finesse. It could be argued that Senna successfully combined all of these elements, together with great charisma, to make a true legend who transcended his sport.
