Nigel Mansell reckons F1 will be just as ‘titanic’ in 2011

Dec.07 (GMM) Nigel Mansell reckons the fight for the 2011 FIA Formula One World Championship will be just as ‘titanic’ next season and he is looking forward to seeing five World Champions line up on the grid for the opener in Bahrain in March. Talking at the BRDC awards in London this week, Mansell couldn’t hide his enthusiasm and said things are looking just 'fantastic'.

"I think McLaren will come back even stronger, but Adrian [Newey, Red Bull’s technical guru] is certainly not lying down and will be working very hard,” said the 1992 F1 World Champion in an interview with ESPNF1.com.

“I think the maturity that Sebastian Vettel will have now after winning the championship will be enormous. Mark Webber is a good, solid, upstanding man and I think he'll grow in stature and hopefully come out in 2011 and be a real strong competitor with Sebastian.

“And for sure, Ferrari is not going to lay down [either]. They were obviously very, very disappointed. But they are going to be there too. I really foresee an incredible 2011 developing. With four or five world champions on the grid together you've got to go back to the early 80s where you had something similar when we had seven one year. It is looking fantastic.”
