This is a personal account of sporting endeavour by Britain's leading
racing driver who in both 1986 and 1987 was a luckless runner-up in
the Formula One World Championship. Mansell made his Formula One
debut in 1980, but had to wait until 1985 for his first Grand Prix victory
and then won 13 in two phenomenal years. In 1986 his Championship
challenge was sabotaged by a spectacular tyre blow-out at Adelaide and
in 1987 by a crash in Japan. Mansell recalls the accidents, the day he was
given the last rites and how he has come to terms with the deaths of his
colleagues on the track. His wife also describes what it is like to be the
wife of a man who risks his life every time he goes to work.
