    This is totally off the wall, but for some reason Mansell just seems like the last real "man" to race. If you gave him **** in a bar, he would probably fight you. The guys racing today just seem like total wimps.

    In all of F1 history, who would take the title of actual bad ass? Mark Donohue? Mansell the Lion? Gerhard Berger kinda seemed like a no-bull$hit guy.

    Alberto Ascari probably wouldnt let you call his mom a name.

    Opinions?

    I think Webber might be fairly handy in a bar room fight.

    Toughest ? Lauda by miles.

    Physical strength ? Jones ? Good shot by Hunt though..;)

    I am not talking inner strength, many have displayed that.... My question is way way less mature. I'm talking flat out, drunk, bar fight.

    Im going with Mansell.

    Well, an obvious choice, because he actually did it; my memory is not what it used to be, but it was just before Monza...was it in 1980 or 1981, I don't remember, but he showed up with a bandaged hand due to "an argument with two gentlemen in one of London streets"...

    I agree with jones, although James hunt was a fiery chap. Not sure about mansell, always had an air of being a nice guy in private, just drove like a lion I think

    For aggression, I'm guessing the Latin blood in your average Maldonado or senna would go off quicker than many? Not sure they would be tough with it though like a jones or a webber

    Senna once punched Eddie Irvine in the face after being held up by him in Japan.
    Senna and Mansell came to blows in the garage after a race but there's apparently no video. Witnesses say Mansell pinned Senna to a wall by the throat. My money would have been on Nige anyway.
    Schumacher was once dragged away from Coulthard before punches could be exchanged.
    Let's not forget Piquet's assault on Salazar:

    It's got to be Vettel!

    (There's got to be a mean m@{#3>F~<#3r in there somewhere!, surely no one's that likeable? :p)


    If not, then I'd go with Alan Jones because I suspect he's as hard as a coffin nail!

    I´d go with Vitorio Brambilla...they called him the Monza Gorilla for something!!
    Jack Brabham also seemed to be a tough guy...he used to cut corners in order to trhow gravel and rocks at the guys who where chasing him, in order for them to stay further back!!!!
