Quotes by Nigel Mansell

“The answers an affirmative yes”

“I consider myself one of a very small handful of drivers in the world that are top drivers. The best one? I dont think anybody can say theyre the best one because, from one week to the next, you can be on form or off form a little bit.”

“The Masters is going to be an awesome challenge,”

“The rivalry is still there, definitely,”

“Alain will do everything in his power to win, he doesnt like getting beaten by anyone and least of all me.”

“Were going to have to be a hell of a lot fitter than we are now to do a proper job,”

“Im going to exercise a lot more, although when you get to a certain age you can injure yourself in training as well.”

“Since winning the Formula One World Championship back in 1992 and eventually retiring in 1995, I have spent valuable time with my family,”

“The hunger and desire to go racing, however, never leaves your blood but the right opportunity has never really come along -- until now that is.”

“The rivalry between us all will be no different from those glory days back in the 1980s and 90s but given the challenges this time round, the demands of racing will be tougher for all concerned,”

The format of the race weekend is also very well thought out. We have enough practice time to get the cars well set-up and have a proper qualifying session where we can do as many laps as we like, which is great for the drivers and spectators.

The preparation, commitment and desire to win will be no less than the last time I drove a grand prix car in anger.

Fitness will be a major factor in the first race and I think that will play into the hands of drivers who have been racing recently, rather than people like me who havent raced properly for a decade. Iam not one of the favourites to start with.
