Nigel Mansell won't probably consider his Ferrari years as the best in his long career if he'd had to compare them to his Williams glorious era. But he'd have to admit he was among a very closed club of non-italian drivers that have won the tifosi hearts such as Gilles Villeneuve, Michael Schumacher, René Arnoux or Jean Alesi. Thanks to his bravery, commitment in driving, legendary fighting spirit and natural skills, he fully deserved the italian version of his british nickname "Lionheart", Il Leone.
From his incredible wins in Brasil and Hungary to some impressive moves like his overtaking on Senna at the Hungaroring in 1989, his stunning flatout 360° after Tamburello at Imola the same year and an "out of this world" overtaking from the outside on Berger at the frightening Peraltada parabolica in the penultimate lap of the 1990 mexican Grand Prix... There's no doubt his Ferrari period will be remembered for spectacular achievements that will remain as some of the most epic exploits in F1 History.
