The official F1 YouTube channel recently ran an interview with the great driver Nigel Mansell, who revealed what Ayrton Senna said to him in 1992 as they stood on the podium in Hungary. Mansell had just won the Formula One World Championship and, on seeing Mansell's elation, Senna leaned in and said: "Now you understand what a bastard I am."
What did he mean? Well, some drivers who taste success will do anything to savor it again, and this ruthless mindset is an obvious trait in many of the sport's greats: Senna, Schumacher, Verstappen, and arguably even early Vettel. But while you're supposed to hate Devon Butler – F1 2021's chief antagonist – I can't. It's not like he murders lobsters like Grid's Nathan McKane.
