Different opinions on the GP Masters series
Even the passing of two full decades has not calmed the hostility between former F1 teammates, and Champions, Nigel Mansell and Nelson Piquet.
When publicly rejecting a recent invitation to race in the Grand Prix Masters series, Piquet - in an oblique reference to front-man Mansell - said it was designed “for people who want to live in the past and make money out of it.”
During a press conference in Oxford this week, 52-year-old Mansell - who like Piquet is now supporting the career of his sons - had the opportunity to rebuke the title winning Brazilian.
He said: ``I have known Nelson for a long time. If he really said that, then he is probably just jealous that he was not with us.
``Or maybe he just wants to get under our skin. I think we have been in this business long enough that we can ignore what Nelson says.``
