Summary

Nigel Mansell took a stunning victory from 12th on the grid at the Hungaroring of all places, where overtaking was thought to be almost impossible. And he capped it off with one of F1's all-time great passes, ambusing Ayrton Senna as the McLaren was baulked behind the ailing Onyx of Stefan Johansson. Sam Smith and Andrew van de Burgt join Glenn Freeman to revisit Mansell's brilliant drive, the rumours that Alain Prost was going to be signed as his team-mate (and how Nigel felt about that), plus we have a Tyrrell insider's recollection of a spat between Mansell and F1 newcomer Jean Alesi. There's also talk of Ford putting pressure on Benetton, Porsche considering an F1 comeback, Yamaha's disastrous year with Zakspeed, and Bernie Ecclestone bizarrely firing shots across the Atlantic at the CART series.
