flyingspanner Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 45 secs into the opening credits of the Sky F1 Channel, a driver falls from his car (Lotus, John Player Special) and is run over by it. Anyone have any idea who, where, when? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yRNMmePxMk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I do indeed. It was Nigel Mansel. he run out of fuel and pushed his car back, but when he got there he collapsed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmonk Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 hope this helps you Nick Mansell was remembered by many that year when he collapsed while pushing his car to the finish line after the transmission failed on the last lap of the 1984 Dallas Grand Prix. The race was one of the hottest on record, and after 2 hours of driving in 104 °F (about 40 °C) conditions Mansell fainted while pushing his car over the line to salvage a sixth place finish (and thus 1 championship point) in a race of which he had led half, having started from pole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
