Check out the Ask Nigel archives, I think there's something there about a comment from Keke Rosberg.
Modena had been given a 1 off chance with Brabham in 1987 (I think) for his GP debut and he retired through neck pains.
"Forget him," said Keke, "a real racing driver would CARRY it home in his first GP. He'll get nowhere."
Contrast Mansell, sitting in a bath of petrol which gave him 2nd degree burns at Austria 1980, and only retired when the engine blew.
