This Hungarian GP was arguably one of the most famous of all time simply because of the hype surrounding the event. After Bernie Ecclestone's elaborate plan to expand the sport, F1 finally saw its appeal go beyond the 'Iron Curtain' and head to Hungary for the very first time.

It is said that 200,000 people showed up for this historic event and they got their money's worth all right.

The Brazilian duo of Ayrton Senna and Nelson Piquet began on the front of the grid after qualifying and quickly established dominance over the remaining field.

The battle for top-spot intensified till it came to an all-or-nothing point for Nelson Piquet who finally got one over his compatriot in the most epic way possible. He overtook Senna in a stunning move on the outside into turn one, a move that is talked about till date.
