    When I was 14 - as young Kart driver - my life was beeing a Mansell fan - 24/7! When he cross the line in Hungary it was so fantastic and one of the best days of my life. Now listen to the great podcast 30 years later -and working as a pro in the racing industry-it just brings it all back so intensive and I just cried and it feels so great and I’m so thankful to experienced and carry this! Nigel - You are the man and your single championship is worth 7 Schumi-Lewis, at least 4 Prost and for sure 3 Ayrton! Thank you for everything and All the best for the future! 💪🏻💪🏻🙏
