No the press conference afterwards he gave said it was the perfect time to make such an announcement at the British GP...I think I still have the video of the Nigel Mansell Story featuring it

I think the emotions got to him that day where he felt he should have won the race and he believed his car was sabotaged

It was genuine apparently Senna quoted he should reconsider

I should point out at the time Mansell was only an option to back to Williams as other drivers interested were

Capelli for his performances in the March

Martini for his drives in the Minardi

Alesi - the sensation of the season then and who mistakenly signed contracts with Ferrari, Tyrell and Williams and in the end chose Ferrari which proved to be a big mistake
