Nigel Mansell's closest race win

Nigel Mansell's win from the 12th place at the Hungaroring is often classified as one of the best moments of the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Driving the Ferrari, the Briton failed to recreate the magic of the 1989 Brazilian Qualifying session and only managed to secure the twelfth place on the grid.

However, Mansell was in a completely different form on the race day and moved up several places on the very first lap. His relentless charge towards the top continued and set up a brilliant fight with Ayrton Senna.

Magic Mansell wrestled the lead away from the Brazilian with a brilliant overtaking move on the inside of the track when the latter hesitated to accelerate past a lapped car. The Briton held his ground and went on to claim his second victory of the season.
