Nigel Mansell returns to the wheel for a driving check

Nigel Mansell, Formula 1 world champion in 1992, has taken part in a driving review, a practical assessment designed to check safety and driving ability. The process is part of the routine checks that can be required in the UK to confirm someone is fit to drive.

The episode is a useful reminder for Italian motorists too: as the years go by, reviewing eyesight, reactions and driving position can make a real difference. Mansell, now 71, remains one of the most recognisable names in F1 history.
