A bad start saw him charge from 16th to 3rd, taking his much rated team mate in the process and the only man not to get lapped by the all-conquering McLarens. Truth is, Mansell had the clear upper hand over De Angelis during the latter part of 1984, just when it mattered...

The events that made it conclusive who was the better driver...

Highlights of Mansell's long overdue first win in F1.

Post-race and reminiscing 7 years later...

Typical battling and a classic hard charge right to the finish line, producing one of the closest F1 finishes ever, to produce a race that will live on as a legend.

A surprisingly rare straight fight with Gerhard Berger, but still the same showman creating all the drama...

His first drive in a decent car, saw him charge from 18th to 4th

Crap car rain home advantage = Hero time!

The Nexus of Racing and Entertainment in his earlier years, creating the action...

My tribute to the best, most exhilerating, determined and aggressive overtaker F1 has ever known.

12th to 1st on a circuit you can't overtake on, apparently...
