How Red 5's 1992 F1 throwback wowed Goodwood
It's 30 years since Nigel Mansell clinched the 1992 Formula 1 world championship by finishing second to Ayrton Senna in the Hungarian Grand Prix. Mansell in the era-defining but scary Williams FW14B was one of the best suited driver-car partnerships in F1 history, and MAURICE HAMILTON was there to witness them being reunited once more for a crowd-pleasing blast at the Festival of Speed
Talk about a grand entry. It’s Sunday at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The sell-out crowd is looking for something special, particularly after Health & Safety appears to have been responsible for the Red Arrows performing over some empty field in the next county. A performance closer at hand is needed to stir the blood.
That seems likely just after 2pm as Formula 1 cars from across the decades gather in the assembly area. Among this tasty collection, there’s a Benetton-Ford B192, Ayrton Senna’s Toleman-Hart TG183B, a McLaren MP4/1, Rene Arnoux in the Renault RS10 and a much-anticipated run by George Russell in a Mercedes W10.
