Mansell’s last

From left to right: Gerhard Berger (Ferrari), Nigel Mansell (winner in his Williams-Renault) and Martin Brundle (McLaren-Peugeot) share a good laugh, most probably one of Berger’s jokes, on the podium of the 1994 Australian Grand Prix (picture-above).

The race is remembered, besides being the closing of one of the most tragic seasons in recent history, also for an incident involving the two title contenders Damon Hill and Michael Schumacher, which forced both to retire and resulted in Schumacher winning, controversially, his first World Championship.

It was also the 31st and last Grand Prix victory of Nigel Mansell’s Formula One career, as well as his last podium finish in his last race for Williams. An important chapter closed for this formidable warrior.
