Four-time Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel has built quite the car collection in retirement, acquiring Nigel Mansell’s 1992 Williams FW14B Renault and Ayrton Senna’s 1993 McLaren MP4/8 Ford.
Vettel drove both cars at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed, completing demonstrations on the Sunday of the event.
The Adrian Newey-designed FW14B is considered one of the most technologically sophisticated cars to have raced in Formula 1, featuring a semi-automatic transmission, active suspension, traction control and anti-lock brakes.
Mansell dominated the 1992 Formula 1 season with the FW14B, winning nine of 16 races to claim a long-awaited championship win. The British driver became the first driver in Formula 1 history to win nine races in a single season, sealing the title with five races still remaining. However, the season ended in an infamous collision with Senna at the Adelaide Grand Prix.
