Mansell was back at Silverstone yesterday

We went to the World Series by Renault at Silverstone yesterday. An excellent day of motor racing with the icing on the cake being the appearance of Nigel Mansell who drove several laps in his son Greg's car,



decked out with the famous red 5, at a blistering pace. Free tickets and free parking made motor sport extremely affordable for the estimated 130,000 who attended both days.

Looking back at my previous post, it brings it home to me the difference in hunger for success that Mansell displayed in his day and that shown by some sports personalities today. 15 years in Formula 1 and 31 victories marks him as our most successful driver ever. Shouldn't there be a role for him somewhere in our preparation for London 2012? Simply passing on advice on how to want to win may be a good start!
