List of Formula One Grand Prix wins by Nigel Mansell
Nigel Mansell is a British former racing driver who won one Formula One world championship. He entered Formula One in the 1980 season with Lotus, and stayed for six seasons before moving to Williams. It is here where Mansell began to showcase his talent, picking up 13 victories over the next three seasons, which marked a dominant period for the Williams team, who were powered by a Honda engine. 1986 marked a very good year for Mansell, and was on course for his maiden title. However, on round 16 at the 1986 Australian Grand Prix, a tyre blowout on lap 63 forced him to retire, conceding the title to Alain Prost.[1] The following season, Mansell again challenged for the title, but found himself runner-up again, this time to his teammate and rival, Nelson Piquet. He spent a further one year with the Williams team, but after a dismal season where he struggled with reliability due to the new Judd engine, he moved to Ferrari for the 1989 season. Despite a promising start to his Ferrari career, where he picked up his first victory for the Scuderia at the 1989 Brazilian Grand Prix, Mansell again struggled with reliability due to the innovative Semi-automatic transmission. In total, he spent two seasons with Ferrari and achieved three victories, before leaving and re-joining Williams. Mansell's second spell at Williams proved to be more successful than the first spell, where in 1992 he achieved his first and only title. After a public disagreement with Williams' management, and the prospect of his rival Prost joining the team, Mansell left and retired from Formula One. He returned and raced in four races for Williams in 1994 after the death of Ayrton Senna, where he picked up his final Formula One victory. After an unsuccessful spell with McLaren in 1995, Mansell retired for good.[2]
Mansell achieved his first victory in Formula One at the 1985 European Grand Prix on 6 October.[3] He won thirteen races during his first spell with Williams, fourteen in his second spell and one in his third spell, equalling a total of 28 victories, which included at the time a record-breaking nine Grand Prix victories during the 1992 season. He finished runner-up three times, twice in succession. During his two seasons with Ferrari, he achieved three victories, the first being achieved on his first race for the Italian team. His final race came at the 1995 Spanish Grand Prix.
In total, Mansell won 31 Grand Prix at 19 different circuits. He was most successful at Autódromo do Estoril and Silverstone, winning three times at both. The majority of his wins (28) were for Williams; he won three races for Ferrari. His most successful races were the British and French Grand Prix, each of which he won four times.
