F1, Mexican GP 2018: Top 5 Races of All-time

#1 1990: Prost wins as Mansell Stuns us all

Ayrton Senna seemed to have the win confirmed before the final few laps.

The best Mexican Grand Prix of all-time though has to be the 1990 iteration, thanks in large part to an incredible final few laps.

Gerhard Berger qualified his McLaren on pole with Riccardo Patrese doing an excellent job in his Williams to start P2. Ayrton Senna was in third, Nigel Mansell's Ferrari in 4th and Alain Prost - unhappy with his setup - starting down in 13th.

Patrese surprised everyone at the start to lead into Turn 1, but it didn't last long for the Italian, Senna using his Honda power to good effect and promoting himself into first on Lap 2. Berger followed in the Brazilian's wake as well to make it a McLaren one-two.

Senna then built what appeared to be an insurmountable gap to the rest of the pack, but that wouldn't last forever.

World Champion, Alain Prost, was slicing his way through the field and - after Berger's pit-stop - was up to second by Lap 54 of 69. Senna had bolted too early on his tyres and, as a result, was struggling for pace.

On Lap 60, Prost was in the slipstream of Senna and dived down the inside of his great rival, Ayrton had no defense on his clapped-out rubber. Senna then fell into the clutches of Mansell and was down to third but things would get even worse.

Senna was hemorrhaging time to the Ferraris and the reason soon became evident, as his rear-right blew with just five laps remaining and he was out of the car once he eventually returned to the pits.

Gerhard Berger had pitted earlier in the race for fresh tyres, a move that didn't seem to be paying off.

However, Mansell's spin had put the Austrian right on him and a daring dive down the inside on Turn 1 meant that Ferrari's 1-2 seemed to be off. Mansell kept with the McLaren, though, and pulled off one of the most daring overtaking manoeuvres ever seen in Formula 1.

Berger blocked the inside going into the final corner, so Mansell went around the outside of the fearsome Peraltada, the 180mph banked and bumpy 180 degrees Turn 14, a move many thought to be impossible.

It was typical of Mansell, the man knew no bounds when it came to overtaking and that moment is why the corner is now named "Mansell". In the end, Prost was the winner, the Professor pulling off an amazing victory, not too dissimilar to Berger's four years earlier.
