Nigel Mansell took his fifth GP win in a row on this day in 1992, as his unstoppable march to the F1 championship continued. Today's Great Read revisits his legendary car: the FW14B, which Karun Chandhok drives along with a more modern FW40 variant.
I grew up in an era where the biggest stars in F1 were Senna, Prost, Piquet and Mansell. The cars from the late 1980s and early 1990s were the ones on my bedroom wall posters. Watching Mansell take pole position at Silverstone in 1992 – 2.7sec faster than the first non-Williams – inspired me to chase the F1 dream. That sight of Red 5 charging down Hangar Straight into Stowe and the sound of that Renault V10 is something I can recall instantly – I've seen the VHS tape so many times.
