Nigel Mansell and Nelson Piquet shared one of the most intense and hostile rivalries in Formula 1 history during their time as teammates at Williams in the mid-1980s.
Both drivers were fierce competitors—Mansell, the passionate British driver known for his aggressive style, and Piquet, the cool and calculating Brazilian already a double World Champion.
Their partnership quickly turned sour, with Piquet publicly mocking Mansell’s intelligence and even making personal jabs about his family. Despite their animosity, the rivalry produced thrilling battles on track and pushed both drivers to their limits.
The tension reached its peak in 1986, a season in which both had a shot at the world title but ultimately lost to Alain Prost. Their feud became legendary not just for its venom but for the high level of performance it generated.
To this day, Mansell vs Piquet remains a textbook example of how fierce competition within a team can spark both greatness and controversy.
