I think Tommy might have had some speed but in an F1 environment he would have imploded with all the responsibility involved and getting his party lifestyle under control. Him and Ron would have never worked, ever.
His only real chance would have been having a mentor/coach/agent that could have got him in order and kept it that way. Maybe after a few years of that he might have gained some maturity and perspective and got it together.
Someone mentioned that people in teams didn't like Mansell. Well most F1 drivers are not likeable people during their careers, but if they get the job done they are respected for that. What Mansell did have was a very strong mental application and self control. He had a solid family life and wasn't out every night partying till 5 AM or blowing all his money up his nose.
