As I recall Nige tried to drive round the outside of Ayrton, but then attepted to reclaim the line before he was fully passed, and collected Senna. They were both out of the race, I think Ayrton managed to limp back to the pits. He was sat in his garage when Nige strode in, Ayrton assumed to appologise. Nige disabused him of that notion by grabbing the little brazilian by the throat. Mr. Mansell was then restrained by members of Team Lotus.
The situation for UK viewers was further inflamed by James Hunt declaring that it was senna's fault, when anyone with any understanding of racing could clearly see Mansell made a mistake. I remember a couple of weeks later a very funny bit at the following GP where James was made to eat humble pie and admit he called it completely wrong.
