34th, The Iconic Duel of Mansell vs. Piquet at Silverstone

Before the days of pitlane speed limits, he’d charged in and out in a fury – and was now refusing to accept defeat in front of his ‘barmy army’ of patriotic fans.

Despite the best efforts of Alain Prost at the start, Nelson Piquet and Mansell had already crushed the opposition in the Silverstone sun, Honda power and their brilliant FW11Bs a cut above the rest. Prost jumped the Williams pair from the second row, but by Maggotts poleman Piquet was through and Mansell was soon to follow. With an eye on tyre wear and fuel consumption, they still left the rest for dead.
