Who's the driver who collapses in the Sky F1 intro?
He's alongside his car with one hand one it, then goes fully limp and drops to the road. Anyone familiar with the situation?

From memory, Nigel Mansell.
I believe his gearbox broke during the race, back when they were H-shifters not Paddle shifters, so he spent most of the race wrestling that. Then ran out of petrol & pushed the car to the end until he collapsed in the sun. He had no fluids to take in.
