Autosport Retro - 1987 British Grand Prix

As the Formula 1 circus heads to the British Grand Prix, we take a look at one of Silverstone’s most famous races. 

The 1987 British GP provided a dramatic duel between Williams team-mates and championship rivals Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell, culminating in one of F1’s greatest passes. 

In the latest episode of our From the Archive series, host Kevin Turner is joined by Maurice Hamilton and Damien Smith – both were there on that day in July 1987 but had very different viewpoints.
