SWEDISH captain Andreas Jonsson was delighted to finally shake off his ''nearly man'' tag with his triumph at the Scandinavian Grand Prix.

Ironically his win came at the first GP to be held in Sweden since the retirement of Jonsson''s countryman, the great Tony Rickardsson.

Jonsson said: ''I''m so happy, and I hope that now I''ve won one I can relax more without the pressure of never having won.''
