At his second re-fuelling stop on lap forty eight Mansell had his nose box replaced as marshal had noticed that his front wing endplates were working loose. As he accelerated out of the pits he was wrong footed by a Forti coming into the Tamburello chicane. He turned into the apex very late. This would have all been well and good if Irvine had not been making a dive up the inside. Irvine’s Jordan lost it’s nose box in the incident and had to pit and Mansell had to do a quick tour back to the pits to have his punctured left-rear tyre replaced.

Mansell pitted on lap seventeen for a set of new tyres and a splash of fuel. After the 7.4 second stop Mansell resumed only to run over a gravel trap as Schumacher lapped him. Mansell pulled into the pit garage at the end of lap eighteen. He got out of the car and walked away without even talking to his race engineer, Steve Hallam. The then Jordan Designer, Gary Anderson noted “He had the body language of a man who was walking away from F1 for good.” These would prove to be telling words. The official results showed the reason for Mansell’s failure to finish as “given up.” Mansell commented at a later data; “I had a problem with the car’s balance from the start. It was over-steering a lot initially and then went into under-steer a few laps later but at least it was driveable. After I stopped for tyres the car was all right and then it went into under-steer. In the fast and medium speed corners the car was virtually impossible to drive.” Ron Dennis, McLaren team boss later noted, “Nigel chose not to continue. To all intents and purposed the McLaren/Mansell alliance has run out of road for good.”

After McLaren went to great expense to widen the car to fit Mansell, Mansell left the team complaining that the car did not handle well. “It went from sheer over-steer to sheer under steer. I have to go and think about this. I have no doubt in my mind that this is a fundamental car problem. Having said that I believe McLaren will get it right, it’s just a question of much more time and how many races before they do.” Mansell explained. In reality Mansell had lost all motivation because the car was not a front runner.

On lap twelve Mansell having previously passed Barrichello, let him past again as he got boxed in behind Noda’s Larrousse that was slowing with a jammed gearbox. Mansell was quick to start to hurry Barrichello again but he got too close and damaged the front wing of his FW16 on the back of the Jordan. As a result of this Mansell’s car developed a huge amount of under steer and he had to pit on lap fifteen for a new nose box to be fitted.

After a precautionary pit stop to check a loose front wing endplate Mansell rejoined the track right down the field. He became fired up and began to overdrive the car. On lap fort-nine he lost control of his Williams and slid into the gravel where he was well and truly stuck. He had to retire form the race.

After the restart Mansell battled Alesi for third place all the way home. Coming into the lat corner of the last lap Mansell got the jump on the Ferrari and crossed the line punching his fist into the air. He was gutted when he was reminded that Alesi was awarded third as he was a head on aggregate time from the two “sessions“ that made up the full race distance.

At the end of the Saturday qualifying session there was a “misunderstanding” between Mansell and Senna. Senna was turning into the tight Bico de Pato and Mansell dived up the Brazilian’s out side. Senna moved over to legitimately take the line but Mansell has squirted up the inside so the two cars cockpits were level. Mansell had to put two wheels up on the grass to avoid contact. The loss of grip sent the Williams spinning into the retaining wall, where it impacted heavily. “I would like to make it clear that I do not blame Ayrton,” recounted Mansell. “I thought he had pulled over to let me through but there was a misunderstanding in terms of communication with us. It was my responsibility to overtake safely but I misinterpreted what he was about to do.”

Coming into the esse bends before the pits Mansell dodged out from behind Senna in an attempt to overtake. Mansell was on the dusty line. Mansell claimed that Senna had pushed him off. In reality Mansell just entered the braking area too hot and lost control of his Williams. He flew across the sand trap, ripping its nose cone off, and then it spun in front of the pit wall before coming to a rest. Mansell was cajoled out of the car by the Marshals and ushered over the pit lane wall were he went to have a go at Ron Dennis over Senna alleged driving tactics. A protest was lodged but nothing came of it. Patrese gave his opinion, “Nigel decided to go for it down the inside where the line was dusty. Ayrton didn’t help him but he was not unfair. They did not touch and Nigel went off.”

I caught a glimpse of the yellow flag. In fact, I only saw the yellow flags when I was spinning backwards, just before I hit the guardrail quite hard.” The session was red flagged.

The rain began to fall again on lap three. On lap seven Alesi lost control of his Ferrari under braking for the La Source hairpin in the wet conditions. Mansell foolishly tried to run around the outside of the wayward Ferrari and inevitably the two cars touched, heavily in fact. Mansell escaped without damage but a punctured rear tyre ended Alesi race there and then.

There has been a rumour that Mansell was going to gift the race to Patrese. Earlier in the race Mansell made it clear who was the faster driver by putting together a series of fastest race laps. Than on lap thirty-six he made the grand gesture. Coming out of the Casio chicane he virtually parked his Fw14/b and waited for Patrese to come through. Mansell then latched on to Patrese’s tail and than harried him as best he could. It was not subtle by any means. “I didn’t know what Nigel wanted to do,” said Patrese after the race. “He was pushing me hard and if he was really prepared to let me win he should have gone a bit slower. I though ‘My God, ten laps still to go and Nigel is still there.’ But, even though I realised he was not fighting with me, at that particular moment it was difficult to know what he wanted to do.” Patrese must have been relived when Mansell went of the race on lap forty-five with engine failure.

Mansell had been baulked by Larini’s Ferrari on the back straight on lap nineteen and Senna was all over the FW14/B as they swept through fast ess bend before the hair pin that led on to the start / finish straight. Senna believed that it might have been possible to get the jump on Mansell into the hairpin if he could be super late on the brakes. The manoeuvre turned distinctly pear shaped and Senna slammed into the back of the Williams, eliminating both drivers. The McLaren’s left front wheel was ripped off, the impact having lifted the Williams off the ground. Mansell of course blamed Senna and Senna accused Mansell of braking early. Mansell was going to make an official protest before it was decided that it was just a racing incident.

By lap fifty-nine rain had been falling on the track enough to make the surface quite treacherous. Mansell was seemingly caught out and spun his FW14. Mansell claimed that the spin was a result of a gear selection problem. It was a commonly held opinion at the time that this was not entirely true. If it was the gear box’s fault Mansell exacted his revenge by trashing it, as well as the rest of the transmission and his tyres as he was too aggressive as he “power spin” his Williams around to face the correct direction. He had to retire a few yards down the track as his Williams pathetically coasted to a halt. Gear box problem my eye!

Mansell obviously believed that Barbazza would throw himself off the track to get out of Mansell’s way. Barbazza did not and Mansell locked his brakes and skidded off on to the grass.

Brundle had made a good start after, getting ahead of the Benetton’s of Piquet and Moreno. He was coming round to the end of the lap when he came upon Mansell going slowly, looking as if he was about to enter the pit-lane. Brundle assumed that Mansell was slowing to retire and he made a dive up the inside of the Williams. Mansell turned in and the two cars made heavy contact. Mansell was eliminated with broken rear suspension and a puncture. Brundle’s Brabham suffered deranged suspension on the right front as well as having it’s steering knocked out of alignment. Brundle dived into the pits next time round for some lengthy repairs. He rejoined the field after loosing many laps. His pace indicated that if the incident had not occurred he would have finished in the points. The Brabham mechanics were baying for Mansell’s blood, as the prospect of pre-qualifying loomed large for the team. Both drivers were adamant that it was the other who was at fault.

Mansell was in total command of the race as he started the final lap. He had a lead of nearly fifty seconds and he was relaxing and was even finding time to wave to the crowd on the final lap. Along the back leg of the track he approached the hairpin for the final time. What happened next is unclear, but these are known the facts. Mansell was waving to the crowd when his engine revs dropped in dramatic fashion. Nigel went to select a lower gear to prevent the engine stalling. The semi Automatic gear box selected neutral just as the revs dropped dangerously low and the engine cut out. (Make of that what you will.) Mansell lost all hydraulic power and could not get the car into gear to “bump start” the still rolling FW14. Thus he was out of the race with a less than one mile to go. When the FW14 was recover it was discovered that it’s gearbox was functioning normally and there was fuel to spare in the tank and to add insult to injury the engine fired immediately.

In Saturday qualifying Mansell made a total hash of his first run on qualifying tyres. On his out lap he followed van de Poele’s Lambo round the track, he too was on an out-lap. Now Mansell tried to overtake van de Poele when they were both on qualifying laps. It was hardly surprising that van de Poele did not jump off the racing line as soon as Mansell reared up in his mirrors. Why Mansell did not overtake the Belgian on the out lap God only knows. To add insult to injury a misunderstanding with Berger on the same lap resulted in Mansell locking his brakes, ruining his qualifying tyres.

In the pre-race press conference things were getting a little heated and Jean Marie Balestre stepped in and suggested that Mansell would be closely observed in the race. Mansell leapt to he feet shouting the odds, suggesting that the FISA president should be keeping an eye on Senna rather than him. Senna retorted with rapier venom. He pointed out that Mansell had been involved in more than his fair share of incidents out on the track. Senna rounded off his comments with a few choice words that would have made a nun blush. Then Piquet chipped in asking Monsieur Balestre whether a driver had to be killed before FISA stepped in, making good on their threats to penalise certain, leading drivers. This was all hot stuff hours before the Grand prix start, especially as it was beginning to rain.

On lap ten Mansell swept past the pits and radioed his team to tell them that all was well and he felt he had the race under control. Coming into the first corner past the turned in as normal but the nose of his Williams stepped out in the corner and it drifted wide. Mansell caught the car and kept his foot down as he drifted continually wider. Suddenly he was over the kerb on the left-hand side of the track and the FW14 was pitched into the gravel. When the dust had settled it became apparent that Mansell was stuck, spinning his William’s rear wheel in vain his championship was over and Senna was World Champion for the third time. Under control indeed! Mansell later claimed that the brake pedal had gone soft and since he was taking the car to the limit left no room for error. However examination of the telemetry from his car revealed that there was no such problem, besides Mansell had lost control after he had finished braking. Driver and not mechanical error was to blame.

After the race Mansell was fuming after gearbox problems had put him out of the race for the second race in succession. “Up to the point where I first experienced gear change trouble I was much quicker than anybody else,” fumed Mansell. “Obviously I am very happy for Ferrari (Prost won the race,) but I’m bound to wonder why these problems do not seem to happen for the other guy.” Mansell then had a private chat with is wife, Roseanne before dropping a bomb on Formula One. In less than one half hour after the press conference he announced his retirement at the end of the year. Whether he had been considering retirement before that point or whether it was a spur of the moment decision it was none the less earth shattering in it’s timing.

The fact that he was lapping two to three seconds off the pace was a decisive factor in his decision to retire from the race.

Prost needed to win the 1990 Portuguese Grand Prix to stand a realistic chance of beating Senna to the world championship that year. An all Ferrari front row was a good start but as the lights turned green Mansell squeezed Prost towards the pit wall. The cars touched and Prost grazed the pit wall, forcing him to back off. In doing so the two McLarens of Berger and Senna shot past, the Frenchman ending up in fifth place. Prost had a special gear ratio fitted to help him at the starts and he had made a good getaway, Mansell had made a mess of his. Mansell would win the race but he had dealt Prost’s championship aspiration a severe blow. “It must have been the worst start of my life,” recounted Mansell. “I had terrible wheel spin and my car got out of shape and as a result I squeezed Alain out. I’ve said sorry to him. I literally almost spun it!” Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!

Alliot was battling for twelfth place with Gugelmin and Martini as Mansell came up to lap him. Mansell made a dash up the inside of Alliot on the entry to a fast left hander on the back of the circuit. The left front wheel of the Ferrari clouted the right rear wheel of the Ligier pitching it into a spin that would put the Ligier into the barrier. The impact wrote the Ligier chassis off, the second of the race weekend for Alliot. Mansell was lucky to escape the incident without damaging his F641.

Mansell was in a hurry to leave the pit, leaving a trail of rubber some twenty-five metres long until he lost all power.
