Talk:1990 Portuguese Grand Prix

Was this the race when James Hunt (commentating for the BBC) called Alliot a "bloody idiot"?--MartinUK (talk) 20:41, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

The statement "Mansell got too much wheelspin and slid across the track towards Prost" is far from truth. All images and witnesses confirm there was a deliberate choice from Mansell. The videos are indeed clear: just as the car starts the front tyres point to the center of the track, the car moves towards Prost, and only after a couple of seconds do the rear tyres have just a little spin due to the traction. Then there is a slight correction from Mansell.
