I am biased because I relate to him but all the drivers 'above' him in terms of results had a leg up, whereas Mansell didn't. Nobody is naive enough to think that F1 is based solely on talent; even Senna was heavily backed financially. I just think that relative to his background he achieved huge success and his natural talent and tenacity won out where otherwise a budget would have made up the shortfall.

Edit: except Jim Clark, who obviously I wasn't there to watch but judging by documentary evidence was the most naturally talented man to ever grace an F1 car.
