Description: By lap 45 the gap, between Mansell and Piquet was just over 20 seconds with Mansell lapping around 2 seconds a lap faster than Nelson. The Brazilian's tyres were shot and Nigel was moving with greater urgency. He may have been a long way down behind a driver with two world championships under his belt but that was not going to stop Nigel. By lap 53 the gap was 9.6 seconds, on lap 60 it was down to 1.6 seconds and then came lap 60 and the move of the decade. Just 0.5 seconds split the pair as they approached Stowe. Mansell feinted left and Piquet sought to block the move. He had been sold a dummy and Nigel was already pointing to the inside. He darted through and beat Piquet by almost two seconds, sent the crowds delirious.

red5isalive ::: Favorites Guys, you're so RIGHT ;P I feel with you at home. Here in Barcelona and in Spain is full of bastards that have no idea about F1 and about Nige. As fan of him since 21 years ago (just '86) it's hard to be fan of him here, so.... THANKS for showing me that not all is lost. There's much people that KNOW about what they Spoke!!! RED 5 STILL ALIVE !!! FOREVER OUR LION !! 07-08-21 15:14:40 __________________________________________________
Slibey ::: Favorites Nice one, makes a change for someone to agree and not post some ridiculous comment, Mansell was just awesome, could beat anyone on his day and normally did just bad luck cost him dear. 07-08-07 11:42:28 __________________________________________________
juliobodanese ::: Favorites we can only compare two pilots with fidelity if they´re running together, or at least in the same car generation, and all the rest is point of view or predilection... 07-08-06 13:54:08 __________________________________________________
5150UK ::: Favorites My parents and cousin were at Stowe corner too. Shame I wasn't alive to see it for real! 07-08-06 12:18:05 __________________________________________________
withnail555 ::: Favorites Damn right. Mansell was an epic driver and he took Piquet to the cleaners time and again. It was only unreliability that robbed him of the title. 07-08-06 11:00:58 __________________________________________________
withnail555 ::: Favorites I was in the stand at that corner when Nige overtook Piquet. I cannot describe the atmosphere. I can't believe it was 20 years ago. 07-08-06 10:57:58 __________________________________________________
anglseyman ::: Favorites if i remember correctly, wasnt Nigel in the team spare car for that race? i seem to recall something went wrong with his race car on the parade lap and he had to change and start from the pit lane... 07-08-05 19:06:39 __________________________________________________
Pistolero1983 ::: Favorites OMG! that was crazy how all those people ran on the track... 07-08-02 12:47:37 __________________________________________________
Slibey ::: Favorites Don't some people talk shit, Mansell out done piquet for two seasons unbelieveable bad luck cost him the title in 86' and injury cost him in 87' so bloody what if piquet won three titles don't mean shit, Stirling Moss never won the title but still was a superb driver. 07-08-02 12:45:51 __________________________________________________
