After Mansell won his home Grand Prix, the British spectators invaded the race track to congratulate their hero. Mansell's car was blocked by the crowd, preventing him from driving back to the pits. Eventually Mansell returned to the pits with help from track marshals to attend the podium ceremony. Mansell scored a Grand Slam by leading every lap from pole position and set the fastest lap of the race.

Isle of Man issued a stamp in 1992 to commemorate this famous win.
