1984, actually. Okay, it was a typo. :-) And Mansell didn't win. Rosberg
did.
IIRC, Mansell did indeed push his car across the line (and then collapsed
from exhaustion on what was a very hot day?) But that was ruled illegal. He
was credited with 6th place.
But I agree with your final conclusion -- that's a competitor! The facts of
the matter in no way minimize what was definitely a memorable moment.
