Nigel Mansell won the Spanish Grand Prix on Sept. 29, 1991, at the Circuit de Catalunya, which hosted the race for the first time. He and Ayrton Senna raced wheel-to-wheel on a damp track, a contest that ended with Senna spinning and finishing fifth. The result kept Mansell’s fading championship hopes alive.

The two drivers entered the final two rounds separated by 16 points, with 10 points available for a win. Alain Prost finished second, earning his last podium as a Ferrari driver. Their team-mates followed: Riccardo Patrese finished ahead of Jean Alesi.

Michael Schumacher took the final point in sixth place. The result extended his points-scoring run across his first three starts for Benetton, after leaving Jordan.
