There is a backstory to what happened between Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell that led to extreme bitterness. The social media is currently curious to know what Piquet says about Mansell’s wife Roseanne.

The rivalry between teammates Nelson and Nigel is not new. Serious insecurity developed in Nelson after Mansell proved to become a threat to him in both Williams – Honda and F1 as a whole. In addition to thrilling Formula 1 fans across the world, Nigel Mansell’s sprint to second place at Jerez in 1986 finished just 0.014 seconds behind Ayrton Senna’s Lotus-Renault.

Nelson used his No. 1 position and got first dibs on the backup vehicle. However, this backfired badly on the driver himself.

In practice, qualifying, or the race, Nelson was unable to catch up to his partner. Piquet fought back in Belgium, but his car broke down when he was in the lead, giving Mansell a somewhat lucky victory. However, the British driver outscored the Brazilian in Canada, Detroit, France, and Britain, taking three of those four races.

Nelson Piquet passed a derogatory comment on Nigel Mansell’s wife Roseanne back in the 80s. Just before the 1988 season began, Piquet made some nasty and impolite remarks about his opponents to the general media, branding Senna as gay and Mansell as ignorant.
