Nigel Mansell broke the record for most consecutive wins at the start of a Formula 1 season on this day in 1992 at the San Marino Grand Prix.
From the outside it appeared to be an easy victory ahead of his team-mate Riccardo Patrese but from inside the cockpit Mansell told a different story. "It was very tough and I finished the race with cramp and muscle spasms on my right side," he said.
"It was 32 degrees and I think I must have lost 8lb in weight. It was not a simple race – we had several 'alarm calls' with oil and water, then Gerhard [Berger]'s accident and a marshal out on the track when we were doing 200mph."
