Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Prost vs Everyone Else?

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

I've been following motor racing since the mid-1950s and one of the two 
greatest passes was by Nigel on Berger during the Mexico Grand Prix. It was on 
the 185mph sweeper coming onto the front straight. Mansell faked the inside, 
and while Burger protected, he passed on the outside. It sounded like David 
Hobbs crapped his shorts on that one. The other I got to see in person. In the 
late going of the 1967 Riverside Indy Car race Dan Gurney did the same to Bobby 
Unser at the end of the 200mph back straight. Dan made it look so easy that I 
was embarassed for Unser. Gurney won that one too.

I just wish mansell had went to Nascar, I always liked how he'd jump out the
the car and go punch someone even if it was his fault classic.  I had a
friend who knew him and said he was in so much pain in his trailer he had
ice on his back and could bearly move then when he came out he straightened
up as if nothing was the matter, stiff upper lip and all that! :-)
