My dad slapped me for laughing when he went out in Aus in '86 giving my (then) man Prost the title. It's not that I'm unpatriotic, I just didn't like Mansell.

A well deserved slap too!!! :p
 
I must admit to hoping for Mansell that year too. If ever 'bad luck' played a part in a title fight, 1986 saw it almost as much as 1982.

But that was still a while before I'd met him properly. He represented our country well; but on a personal level, Sir Frank Williams' comment sums him up rather well…

I reckon Mansell has crossed you at some point Cosi. Maybe he got in with a lady that you were eyeing up before you got the chance to. That's the real reason eh? Admit it!
