Re: F1 historic Bits 'n' Piece's
Memories of Bernoldi = errrmm, none. He drove for Arrows alongside HH Frentzen when the cars were orange and black and sponsored by orange. He was supposed to drive Champcars in 08, but Champcars stopped existing and his team Rocketsport didn't enter the IRL, he then drove for Conquest Racing instead and finished 15th at Indy.
Never threatened to score points in F1 and had 4 top 10 finishes.
I do know he had the awesome full name of Enrique Antônio Langue e Silvério de Bernoldi (try saying that with a mouth full of chips)

Re: F1 historic Bits 'n' Piece's
I must say, 91 was the first season I followed from start to end. I really enjoyed it. oming off the back of 3 Senna/Prost head to head seasons, it's not really remembered as an all time great season, but it's worthy of being remembered well.
Does anybody know what football team Nigel Mansell goes for, if indeed he does go for a team?

Re: F1 historic Bits 'n' Piece's
Given that he grew up in Birmingham, I expect that if Nigel Mansell supports any particular team it will be either Birmingham City or Aston Villa. But I don't really know the answer. The two autobiographies I have focus on racing and don't include personal details of that nature.

Re: F1 historic Bits 'n' Piece's
What an anti-climax to see the last post was by D-Type, only to see the question wasn't answered! Yes, I 've already made the link with the Birmingham teams, but have had nothing confirmed yet. It's a thing I have with racing drivers, what teams they go for (any code), and it has bugged me for a while that I don't know this about Nigel. I know that Damon Hill and Lewis Hamilton go for Arsenal, Mark Webber for Sunderland, but Nige? Nothing. I've never gotten an impression he even likes it.

Re: F1 historic Bits 'n' Piece's
The way Nigel moans and complains about everything in life, I would guess he is a referee supporter
I know he supported and sponsored the UK youth cycle team up until this year. But as for football, as far as I know he doesn't support any team, I have never found any reference to it, and no club seems to list him as a celebrity supporter.

Exeter City? I would never have picked that.

He had an interest in a karting centre and a golf course down Exeter way. Does he live near Exeter perhaps?

He lives in Jersey.
Rallying is about following the route, if the route says go round a pole, you go round the pole. If you want to carve you're own path, go baja or something.
