    I sent card birthday card to my nephew believing it to be Alain Prost, but my nephew says it can not be Prost because he never had the No.2 whist at Ferrari.

    Yeah I agree Mansell had no.2 but it's defiantly not a Mansell helmet

    It's for sure meant to be Prost's helmet - I don't think the greeting card people were obsessed with being 100% accurate. :cool:

    Yep It's a Prost helmet in a Mansell No.2 Ferrari.
    Probably an error from the greeting card company, but it would be fun if someone at the card company was actually being sarcastic playing with the true story that emerged from the Prost Mansell Ferrari era.
    The story was that Prost noticed that Mansell's Ferrari was actually faster than his, so he had his team swap the cars around without Mansell being told. Mansell only found out when he took his car out on track and noticed something wasn't right. This was the start of friction and lack of trust that later led to Mansell quiting Ferrari some time later.
