 Mansell was pissed the Williams team had signed Alain Prost for the upcoming season and split for CART which was CART/Indy at the time. Hetook Michael Andretti's seat with Newman/Haas and won the cahmpionship and fisnished 3rd at Indy in 1993.

In 1994 he didn' fare so well in CART because f his personality and was taken out of the Indy 500. He returned to F1 after Senna's accidnet and drove the last threee races for Williams in 1994. He ended up with McLaren in 1995.

Supposedly the 1995 McLaren was too small for his big ass... Whatever the reason, he drove two races, complained about the car not handling well and then retired from F1.

He raced a few races in 1998 in the British Touring Car series and then hung it up for good.

That dude was crazy... and a Hell of a wicked driver!!
