At the 24 Hours of Le Mans, after only 16 minutes of racing, a flat tyre at high speed sent Nigel Mansell into a wall. Two months later, he will not participate in the 1000 km at the Hungaroring, but the former world champion in F1 is present alongside his sons.
Nigel, how are you?
"I am very happy to be here with Greg and Leo. As you can see, I'm fine."
Why have waived running here?
"I had a concussion in Le Mans, and I still need a little time to recover fully."
When will you return?
"For the 1000 km of Silverstone in three weeks."
And will you return to Le Mans next year?
"This is a fantastic event and it was too short for me this year.. So yes, I would return. We are working hard to make this possible, but nothing is guaranteed yet. We continue to solicit new sponsors."
