Most remember the move Mansell made at Peraltada, but how did he get close enough to manage this in a car that was slower at the time?

Answer: he harried and terrorised Berger into compromising his lap speed and leaving room for the overtake...

  • genius - one of the greatest overtakes in f1 history.

  • Thanks for posting this with context, Mr. F1Educator! :-) One of the all time great GPs from start to finish, and I was lucky to see it on the day (though on TV, not at the track).

  • This is what F1 is all about. THAT pass, round the outside on the marbles, with knackered tyres on a notoriously dangerous high speed parabolic curve... Amazing. This is why the tifosi called him Il Leone.... I've never seen anything so exhilarating before or since then. Poor ol' Murray was nearly wetting himself and I have to admit, it makes me misty eyed every time I watch it. Marvellous.

  • the most electrifying driver ever

  • I was there as fireman on track just in the outside of peraltada curve, it was amazing!!

    BTW, during practices we have an accident just in the same place, let me find the video an i will post here the link
