Overtake in the Monaco tunnel?

Post

I'm sure someone went around the outside of someone else in the tunnel, I know it was quite a few years back but I can't for the life of me remember. Someone help me out?

Googling it wasn't much help!

Yeah I just found the video and that's what prompted the memory about a successful one. I'm sure it was Senna/Mansell. That era I think.

Either that or I've completely lost the plot and this isn't a thing, in which case I'll go back to playing pokemon on my emulator.

I think I do remember a red car (woo! specifics!) involved in a successful overtake, but for the love of it, I can't find it. Pokémon's never a bad alternative though.

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

I'm like, 99% certain that this is actually a thing. I swear it was early nineties...

Just asked my dad (another big petrol head) and he said it was Mansell on either Senna or Prost.

Ok, I might be slightly off base here, might have been side by side coming out of the tunnel for an overtake into the chicane...

Depending on the year that could fit my memory of a red car.
