F1 champion turned into a ‘hermit’ after Le Mans crash
1992 F1 world champion Nigel Mansell became a ‘hermit’ following his 2010 Le Mans crash, which led to a brain injury. Mansell, along with his sons, crashed out of the race just 20 minutes after starting due to a puncture at 240mph. He was taken to the hospital after it was initially believed he suffered only a ‘bump on the head.’ However, Mansell’s brain injury caused him to isolate himself until magic tricks helped him with his recovery. Now 72, Mansell credits magic with aiding his brain retraining and bringing him back into society, even performing for the Williams team in the Las Vegas Grand Prix paddock.
