14th July 1991: The Mansell Masterclass That Left Senna A Passenger

Silverstone, 1991: Nigel Mansell delivers one of the most dominant performances of his career — a Grand Slam on home soil that sends the crowd into raptures and ends with an unforgettable gesture of sportsmanship, offering a lift to a stranded Ayrton Senna.In this episode of Chequered Past, we relive that extraordinary day and explore the events that shaped it — from the collision that ended Riccardo Patrese’s race on lap one to the wild track invasion that crowned Mansell a national hero.We also rewind to 1979, when Clay Regazzoni gave the fledgling Williams team its first Grand Prix win, and to 1973, when Silverstone’s opening lap turned into a demolition derby in one of F1’s most notorious pile-ups.Three British Grands Prix. One iconic circuit. And the kind of stories that remind us why we fell in love with Formula 1 in the first place.Send us Fan MailMusic by #Mubert Music Rendering
