The British Grand Prix was held at Silverstone on 14 July 1991. The 59-lap race was won from pole position by local hero Nigel Mansell, driving a Williams-Renault FW14.

Championship leader, Ayrton Senna, ran out of fuel in his McLaren-Honda on the final lap and was classified fourth. Mansell, took him for a ride on his way back to the pits (picture above and under).

As well as leading from pole position, Mansell led every lap and posted the fastest lap of the race. It was the first of two consecutive grand slams at the Silverstone circuit for Mansell, who repeated the feat in 1992.
