Mansell remembers how fans invaded the track after his win that year, an experience he descirbes as "amazing". One of the best remembered moments was the year before when he gave Ayrton Senna a lift home after the Brazilian had run out of fuel, enjoying the ride on the Williams as Mansell soaked up the plaudits.

Johnny Herbert(08 of11)
When you win your first grand prix it's not a bad idea to make it your home race and Benetton driver Johnny Herbert did exactly that in 1995.

This weekend he'll be driving Sir Jackie Stewart’s 1973 World Championship-winning Tyrrell 006. (credit:Mike Hewitt via Getty Images)

David Coulthard(10 of11)
David Coulthard won two of the races that many drivers dream of winning - the British and Monaco grands prix - and he won them both twice. His two Silverstone wins came in successive years - 1999 and 2000 - at the height of McLaren's powers and before Michael Schumacher and Ferrari's domination began. When he's not on BBC duties this weekend, Coulthard will be behind the wheel of Mark Webber's 2012-winning Red Bull RB8. (credit:Tobias Heyer via Getty Images)
James Hunt(11 of11)
A Silverstone celebration would not be complete without reference to James Hunt and it is former F1 driver and World Sportscar champion, Martin Brundle, who will take time out from his Sky Sports duties to step into Hunt's McLaren M26 to pay tribute to his 1977 British Grand Prix victory.
