People are so quick to jump to the conclusion that it was all about the car with Mansell and Hill. If that's the case, why didn't Williams employ complete nobodys to cut down on the wages bill? It would make economic sense, especially since F1 is more of a business than a sport. And it's not as if the Benettons were slow.
Nobody has ever grabbed a car by the scruff of the neck and charged as hard as Mansell when he was on one. Nobody. And just look at his results in Masters GP.
Damon Hill fended off the (apparently mighty) Schumacher despite the German's usual underhanded tactics, Hakkinen (the only driver Schumacher feared) and Villeneuve when he was on form, and easily a worthy opponent for all of the above.
The best car doesn't mean your going to win.
And if it did, look at Barrichello, Coulthard, and Patrese.
It's talent that wins. And both Mansell and Hill had it in abundance.
