I have a couple of dodgy photos of Ayrton Senna racing in a Lotus-Honda that I took at the British Grand Prix in 1987, I only just found out that he finished third behind Mansell & Piquet as I had forgotten completely.
There is a good reason that I forgot as it was the year Mansell won and I was a Mansell fan back then, Mansell was 20 seconds behind Piquet with 20 laps to go and every time they came past the crowd went nuts and then they announced over the tannoy that Mansell had gained a second on each lap up to last but one lap when Mansell overtook Piquet.
The funny thing is that I bumped into Mansell at a book signing last year and I started to repeat the race to him, he laughed and said I was there Ha Ha.
