Mansell's race was compromised late in the race by a tyre puncture, who sent him back to seventh place.

Mansell's win, the beginning of a late season charge, dragged him back into championship contention.

The Honda powered FW10 holds the race lap record for the original circuit when Mansell's team mate Keke Rosberg recorded a time of 1: 39. 914 during the 1985 French Grand Prix.

This race was also Nigel Mansell's first race of seven seasons with the Williams team.

One lap later, Mansell's race ended as his left-rear tyre exploded on the main straight with only 19 laps remaining.

The leader of the championship prior to the race was British driver Nigel Mansell ; six points behind him in second was Alain Prost, who was looking to defend his title and one point behind Prost was Mansell's teammate at Williams, Nelson Piquet.

Nigel Mansell's race lasted until lap 24 when he had a coming together with the Lotus of Nelson Piquet whom he was trying to lap.

Berger was unable to better his Friday time as his car experienced engine failure on the track and he was forced to use Mansell's race car for his qualifying run which was halted when the onboard fire extinguisher was triggered ( Berger couldn't use the spare Ferrari as it reportedly had a development engine planned for 1990 and it was strictly for Mansell's use only.

At the start with both Ferraris on the front row ( Nigel Mansell on pole, Alain Prost second ), Mansell's start was so poor that he almost took his own teammate Prost out of the race, and it also allowed the McLarens of Ayrton Senna and Gerhard Berger to slip past Mansell and Prost to make it a McLaren 1 – 2 with Senna leading into the first corner.

After the collision, the race proceeded with Gerhard Berger's McLaren MP4 / 5B leading and Nigel Mansell's Ferrari 641 second.

In the post race interview with the top three finishers, Piquet said with a smile that after his lap 80 off which allowed Mansell to close up to him that he had to " drive like hell " over the last lap and a half, and that the " shit almost hit the fan ", referring to Mansell's last ditch overtaking move which almost took both cars out.

Senna had run out of fuel while Mansell won the race, so the lift occurred on Mansell's Victory Lap.

Mansell's win with Senna fifth meant that the title race was back on, but Senna still led by sixteen points as the teams headed on to Japan.

This was intended to be Mansell's final Formula One race before moving to IndyCars, but he returned briefly in 1994 and 1995-although never again using his famous ' Red 5 '.

However, on lap 45, an engine failure ended Mansell's race.

McLaren settled on the front row of the grid and stayed that way for the race, with Mansell's Ferrari retiring midway with gearbox issues.

The race had to be restarted when, on the first lap, Gugelmin caused a major first corner accident when he lost control of his March, flew into the air and landed on Mansell's rear wing.

Countering this was Mansell's impressive 12th-to-first race, even overtaking Senna in the area he excelled most, lapping back markers-an impressive move on a track notorious for mediocre and unpassable races.

Remarkable also, was Nigel Mansell's recovery from his accident in Japan to score a front row position for his non-turbo Judd-powered Williams on his first race back.

One lap earlier, defending race winner Keke Rosberg, driving his last GP both for McLaren, and in F1 before retiring, pulled off the track in much the same place as Mansell's dramatic blow-out a lap later when his left rear tyre delaminated on lap 62.

Nonetheless, the Hungaroring has been the scene of several memorable races such as the duels of Nelson Piquet and Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell's lost wheel in 1987, Mansell's win from 12th on the grid after a dramatic pass on Ayrton Senna in 1989, Damon Hill's almost victory with Arrows in 1997 and maiden wins for Hill in 1993, Fernando Alonso in 2003, Jenson Button in 2006 in the track's first ever wet grand prix, and Heikki Kovalainen in 2008.

His teammate, Nelson Piquet, and Lotus ' Ayrton Senna were the only drivers within a second of Mansell's time.

Mansell's win put him into second place in the championship, tied with Piquet and one point behind Senna.

Mansell's combined time over the 63 laps was 26 seconds faster than his Brazilian team mate and eventual 1987 World Champion, Nelson Piquet.

Piquet actually took the chequered flag first at the end of the second heat, but Mansell's lead over Piquet at the time of Warwick's accident was substantially larger.

Mansell's injuries put him out of racing for the remainder of the season, leaving Brazilian Williams driver Nelson Piquet unopposed to claim his third World Championship, adding to his victories with Brabham in 1981 and 1983.

Following Mansell's Friday crash, the three remaining Honda powered cars of Piquet, Senna, and Senna's team mate, local favourite Satoru Nakajima, could only qualify in 5th, 7th and 11th places respectively.

During the qualifying session there was controversy when Nelson Piquet made comments in the local media publicly insulting Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell, Mansell's wife and both drivers ' families.

His explanation was: " Remembering Nigel Mansell's move on Nelson Piquet, I just decided to give it a try.

At the start, Mansell's snaky start almost took Prost out and the McLarens blasted by them with Piquet getting by Prost as well.

Mansell's team mate Nelson Piquet finished the season ranked third.

Mansell's tyre blew in spectacular fashion and Piquet, in the lead at the time of the incident, was brought in for an unscheduled pit stop soon afterward by Williams to prevent the same happening to his tyres.

Piquet rejoined to finish in fourth, ahead of Laffite in the second Williams and Nigel Mansell's Lotus.

Clint Mansell's soundtrack for the film was also well-regarded, and since their first collaboration in 1996, Mansell has composed the music to every Aronofsky film.

English composer Clint Mansell's score for Requiem for a Dream has been well received, and its main theme Lux Aeterna has gained wide usage in popular culture and has featured in a number of film trailers.

It was Mansell's sixth and last Grand Prix victory for the 1987 season.

On the pole was Senna in his first drive for McLaren with a time almost two seconds slower than Mansell's 1987 pole time.

Ayrton Senna took pole from Alain Prost with a lap time that was almost a second faster than Nigel Mansell's 1987 time despite the restriction in turbo boost from 4. 0 Bar to 2. 5 bar for 1988 ( a drop of approximately ).

Prost retired rather than have Senna as a teammate at Williams for the 1994 season, which saw Senna killed at San Marino and Mansell's return to Williams for four races later in the season.

Soon after Gerhard Berger also passed the McLaren, leaving Senna exposed to the attacks of Nigel Mansell's Williams.

Three times world champion Ayrton Senna's first F1 win in 1985, Nigel Mansell's notorious black flag incident and subsequent collision with Senna in 1989, Jacques Villeneuve's overtaking Michael Schumacher around the outside of the final turn in 1996, and Riccardo Patrese's being launched airborne in a near-backward flip after colliding with Gerhard Berger on the main straight in 1992.
