Throughout the years, they had several overtakes, a few crashes, and a lot of admiration for each other. Take a look back:<\/p>\n<h3><b>United States GP \u2013 1986<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Ayrton Senna\u2019s epic victory in Detroit, driving a Lotus in 1986, went down in history as the first time the Brazilian waved the Brazilian flag from inside his cockpit. But the win came only after a daring overtake on Mansell. Senna somehow found enough room between the Williams and the wall to take back the lead at the street circuit. It was the Brazilian\u2019s fourth win in F1.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Spanish GP \u2013 1986\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The ending of the 1986 Spanish GP is among the three tightest finishes in F1 history. Ayrton Senna was leading with his Lotus, while William\u2019s Nigel Mansell tried everything he could think of to overtake him. Both drivers crossed the finish line practically side by side, with the Brazilian just 0s014 ahead.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"[50fps] Senna&#039;s intense challenge on Mansell - 1986 Spanish GP\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SYpSc0v6rJQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><b>Portuguese GP \u2013 1989<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The expression \u201cif it wasn\u2019t tragic, it would be funny\u201d could be used to describe the 1989 Portuguese GP. Ayrton Senna was trying to catch up to Alain Prost on the championship leaderboard and was ahead of his teammate during the race at Estoril. Ferrari\u2019s Gerhard Berger was in the lead, and Senna became second after Mansell put his car on reverse at the pit box, delaying his own pit stop. Right after that, Britton\u2019s illegal maneuver was punished with a black flag, but he stayed on the track long enough to take Ayrton Senna out of the race. The Brazilian, who had nothing to do with any of that, could only watch as Prost widened the gap in the standings.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"GP Portugal 1989 - Senna e Mansell\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bauxiLEiBTY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><b>Spanish GP \u2013 1991<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>McLaren and Williams were the two dominant forces in the 1991 season. At the Spanish GP, when Nigel Mansell\u2019s team had a better setup, the Britton and the Brazilian shared Barcelona\u2019s main straight in one of the year\u2019s most memorable scenes, thanks to the sparks that flew out and the cars\u2019 close proximity. In the end, Mansell came out on top and won the contest, But Senna would secure his world title in the following race.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Japanese GP \u2013 1991<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>After winning two championships in Japan \u2013 in 1988 and 1990 \u2013 Senna was after his third world title also in Suzuka. The only driver standing in the way of Ayrton\u2019s feat was Mansell. If Britton won the race, he would push the decision to the Australian GP. Berger was leading the race, and Senna had to hold Mansell back for ten laps. The Brazilian forced a mistake from Mansell and the Britton was unable to come back to the race after going into de gravel trap on the first corner. Senna\u2019s third title was secure.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"GP Jap\u00e3o 1991 - Passou reto Mansell\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/diUodu5Wrsc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><b>Monaco GP \u2013 1992<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>It seemed like Senna\u2019s hegemony in Monaco in 1989, 1990 and 1991 was coming to an end in 1992: less than 10 laps away from the end, Nigel Mansell was in control of the race. That was when the Britton had tire problems and had to stop at the boxes to make a change. Senna jumped ahead and, even with the Britton hot on his heels for eight laps, he was able to hold back the powerful Williams.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/N-haYO3-Exs<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigel Mansell turns 69 today (August 8) and, to celebrate the birthday of one of Ayrton Senna\u2019s greatest rivals, we have selected several moments in which both F1 World Champions went head to head on the track.
