Senna and Mansell - 3last laps at Monaco 92

So chuffing good. Bring back these machines, and these ethics.

Incredible battle Senna-Mansell, this could have happened in 2006 when Raikkonen was chasing Alonso on the early stages of the race but Kimi's Mclaren engine blew up as always. I am sure that Kimi would have won that race but I hope he wins it this year with his Ferrari.

Today's F1 seems so much less serious of an endeavour compared to this period. All the regulations seem to neuter the kind of continuous technical achievement that we saw in the 90's.

I learned from "F1 Decade" on Speed Channel that the '92 and '93 Monaco Grand Prix were not shown in the U.S. so I didn't get a chance to see that great battle live, but it will always be a classic.

There was only one method which Mansell didn't try... a fly-over.:P Just joking. Amazing driving from two of the hardest racers in the business.

greatest fight on f1

Senna had supreme skill to keep him behind... Mansell said later that Senna was brake testing him all around the final 3 laps. Can you imagine doing that, going at blistering speeds around the walls as well as putting your car in right spots to defend? Awesome.

I don't know what it is but this feels like exactly why Murray Walker and James Hunt clicked .. drama on the track and two ways of showing it. Love this clip, Mansell and Senna are legends.

I bet Mansell wished he hadn't overtaken Prost at the chicane the year previous, and had saved the manoevre for this- his championship year. Do you know what's best about mansell? How he came back for those (three?) races in 1994 at Williams and won in France and Australia! class!

Only Australia, mate. Sorry to spoil your enthusiasm. After Schumacher and Hill took care of each other, Mansell and Berger had a really good battle which ended up in favour of the guy with the moustache.:D
