Now I have to say I get all cynical and weary when people say things like Formula 1 isn't as exciting as the old days. Different it's true, but to dismiss the current era so easily ignores all the good qualities that exists. However the BBC have taken to showing highlights of "classic" Grand Prixs as part of their build up to each race. I've not bothered yet this year but I noticed for Monaco this weekend they had the 1961 race which appealed to me greatly. A nostalgic look back at an era full of romanticism. However clicking through to that story revealed a gem even more precious, 1992's race.

'92 was a pretty amazing year for F1; Mansell won a record 9 races that years and dominated convincingly. Sure, Prost took a break that year but that just meant Senna could pay more attention to Mansell. Which brings us to Monaco - the place where Senna could probably win driving a donkey and cart. Mansell won the first five races of the year (a record) and was aiming for a sixth. This was set to be a clash of some titans. The race plays out and the final few laps have gone down in legend; Murray Walker even calls it one of his top five all time GPs.

Even if you find cars and motorsport boring, that clip, with those final few laps... Watching two of the most capable and aggressive drivers in history slugging it out is sublime.
