No offense but in 1992, (at 39) Mansell was not at the peak of his career, rather towards the end. In 86 he, as a much younger man, nearly won the title in Adelaide but his tyre exploded and Prost went on to win it.

Mansell was very good - but his results are commensurate with his talent and temperament. Problem is, he was never quite as good as he thought and that cost him more wins/opportunities to win than anything....
