There's a liveries one, a hypothetical liveries one, which I'm normally kind of not too fussed about.
But I like the fact that the member sending it in has gone into such detail with what they do.
And yeah, I really enjoyed that.
Yes.
Is that a different question?
Yeah.
I quite like that as well.
Spoiler, I'm going to say, no, you're quite largely right on a lot of these.
I don't know if this will come across as positive or not.
Let's see.
If he had retired in 1990, I think I would have liked him more.
Okay.
On the grounds that when I was really, really getting into F1 as a teenager, it was kind of just after 92, Mansell was very much in the news.
A lot of Mansell-sceptic journalists, whose work I was certainly influenced by at that point, were highlighting the whinging, were highlighting the kind of gracelessness about how big a contribution the quality of the Williams had made to his title.
And things like the way he sort of stomped out of F1 again when he did,
the way he stomped back out of car afterwards, the Williams and McLaren thing going how it did.
A lot of things that happened after 1990 do feed into some of the negatives I had about Nigel Mansell as a young fan who wanted something different from a hero than that side that was being portrayed.
And obviously there were elements of Mansell's more dramatic side, to be generous, that were present through the 80s as well.
But I don't think they were as big in the narrative in the same way as they got...
towards the tail end of his career and that was really influential on me at a time when I was probably reading more about F1 than I was necessarily watching the races I was reading about when I was kind of catching up on what I'd missed as a younger kid so really good point Ed though that I think the 1990 season would have come across as oh now he's been found out by Prost he wasn't that good after all.
