According to Nigel Mansell.

 

Williams courted both Senna and Prost for 1991. Mansell was only offered the drive because those two turned it down.

I pondered that a lot at the time, if only... I believe around Spa '90 Senna finally signed for McLaren and explained he needed to get this over and done with to be able and concentrate on the WDC battle. In, ahem, hindsight, most likely the wrong choice. Probable that he would have won the next 3 titles at the least. Oh well...

Didn't he DEMAND a million a race...and got it (and deserved it)?
