Shocking Finish

Short video of the famous 1991 Canadian GP where Nigel Mansell waved to the crowd and stalled his Williams less than a mile from the finish gifting the race to Nelson Piquet. 6️⃣0️⃣ To watch this video in 60 fps, click the settings gear in the upper right corner ⚙, choose Quality and select 720p60 ✔ From Murray Walker of the BBC: "Nigel Mansell has only a few corners to go, he could literally coast home ... he's taking the hairpin very slowly... HE'S STOPPING!!" 👍 If you like this video please don't forget to hit the Like button and leave a comment 📝 Officially, the reason given for the stoppage was a gearbox failure, while some stories are that Mansell had taken the hairpin in sixth gear and let the revs drop too low. There's also the possibility that Mansell accidentally hit off a switch he shouldn't have, given he seemed less than focused on the job at hand as he waved to the crowds. When they got the car back to the pits it started right up with the gearbox working! 🔴 Subscribe to receive notifications for future videos 🔔 Race Results: 1 #20 Nelson Piquet Benetton-Ford V8 2 #4 Stefano Modena Tyrrell-Honda V10 3 #6 Riccardo Patrese Williams-Renault V10 4 #33 Andrea de Cesaris Jordan-Ford V8 5 #32 Bertrand Gachot Jordan-Ford V8 6 #5 Nigel Mansell Williams-Renault V10 7 #23 Pierluigi Martini Minardi-Ferrari V12 8 #26 Érik Comas Ligier-Lamborghini V12 9 #21 Emanuele Pirro Dallara-Judd V10 10 #3 Satoru Nakajima Tyrrell-Honda V10 11 #15 Maurício Gugelmin Leyton House-Ilmor V10 12 #22 J.J.
