File photo dated 12-07-1987 of Britain’s Nigel Mansell (left) celebrates his British Grand Prix victory with third-placed Ayrton Senna on the winner’s rostrum at Silverstone. PRESS ASSOCIATION Photo. Issue date: Monday June 29, 2015. Nigel Mansell was forced to pit for a new set of tyres after reporting extreme vibrations on his Williams. With 30 laps remaining he was the best part of half a minute behind his team-mate and fierce rival Nelson Piquet. The chase appeared impossible but, spurred on by his home crowd, Mansell smashed the lap record on nine occasions before catching and passing Piquet after an exquisite move at Stowe with only two laps left. The home crowd were euphoric and Mansell responded by leaping out of his Williams on his victory lap and kissing the tarmac where he passed his great rival. See PA story AUTO British Memorable Races.
