Nigel Mansell, originally brought into Formula One by the legendary Colin Chapman of Team Lotus, had a career marked by close misses, tragic accidents and equipment failure, and perhaps the most dominant single season ever by an F1 World Champion. Mansell's early years with Lotus and Williams were a learning period in which this hot-tempered Brit mastered the craft of F1 racing the traditional way, with mistakes, as in his slide into the Armco at a rain-filled 1984 Monaco while leading in the JPS Lotus. Mansell's aggressive overtaking moves earned him the affectionate titles "IL Leone" (The Lion) from the Ferrari Tifosi, who embraced him as one of their own, and "Red 5," for the number worn on his Canon-Williams-Renault during the 1992 championship season.
