1992

Williams won 10 races out of 16, and the world title went to Nigel Mansell.

The title was decided in round 11 – Hungarian Grand Prix.

In 1992 the Williams FW14B, with its active suspension, was out of everyone’s reach: Nigel Mansell won the first five races in a row, took nine wins over the season and started from pole 14 times.

Mansell clinched the title as early as August, at the Hungarian Grand Prix, and after the season he left for the American CART series. At the Belgian Grand Prix Michael Schumacher took his first win, for Benetton — a year after his debut at the same circuit.
