1992 Williams-Renault FW14B
Pictured is a 1992 Williams-Renault FW14B Grand Prix Car.
It was driven by 1992 World Champion Nigel Mansell and Riccardo Patrese.
In the hands of Nigel Mansell the iconic 'Red 5' would win a total of nine Grands Prix during the season. Eight wins in the first eleven races saw the Englishman wrap up the title that had eluded him for so long in the Hungarian Grand Prix in August with five races still to spare.
A development of the race-winning FW14 of 1991, the FW14B was in a class of it's own. Mansell took victory in the opening five races of the season with team-mate Riccardo Patrese finishing second in four of those.
After clinching the title, Mansell finished second to Michael Schumacher in Belgium, retired in Italy, took win number nine in Portugal, retired in Japan and then ended his season with an accident in Adelaide after a coming together with Ayrton Senna.
With Alain Prost joining the Williams team for 1993 Mansell made the decison to leave Formula 1 and try his hand at Indycar racing for the new season.
In his fifth and final season at Williams Patrese played the role of dutiful number two to perfection. The Italian finished second in South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, San Marino, France and Britain with third positions in Monaco and Belgium.
The high point of Patrese's season was a victory in the Japanese Grand Prix, the last of his long career. The Italian moved to Benetton for 1993 alongside Michael Schumacher.
Unsurprisingly, the Williams drivers finished first and second in the standings, Mansell taking his solitary world title. With a total of ten victories from sixteen races, Williams clinched the Constructors Championship ahead of McLaren and Benetton.
