Wow! You don't even dare to ask how I could even know this?^^
And how do you do?
That far I can't go back in my knowledge...

If you think of Nigel Mansell, you think of WC 1992 and you think of his moustache.

Well, that's most unfortunate. But seems OK in high competition sports...

 

[4 8 15 16 23 42 108]

Piquet saying his wife is ugly?

Bad

No, I mean something Nigel did (or did not) what he was supposed to.
Hint needed?

Him being overweight and needing the cockpit widening?

 

[4 8 15 16 23 42 108]

Good one!
But I think more of a certain "moment" (though several seconds lasting), not something about weeks.
Canada... ???

I'm sorry, there are too many points to pick out of his career. That's my fault. Question was to imprecise.
Let's think of Canada. Too easy now, but you all answered so many funny memories, just awesome

I didn't think it was 92, but was this year he broke his gearbox waving to the crowd on his last lap which took from him a certain victory

 

[4 8 15 16 23 42 108]

Oh, maybe again this was a little unprecise. The 1992 title and Canada were not related. So it was the waving on the last lap; my sources say he stalled his engine (I think by accidentally hitting the red emergency button in his cockpit.
But in any case, you are right and it's your turn now!

Sorry one more time I didn't ask precisely. But at least it took a day to answer
