The 1992 Formula One season was the 43rd FIA Formula One World Championship season. It commenced on March 1, 1992, and ended on November 8 after sixteen races. Nigel Mansell won the Drivers' World Championship, and the Williams-Renault team were Constructors' Champions. British GP: Mansell took a popular pole position in Britain with Patrese making another Williams 1-2 ahead of Senna, Schumacher, Berger and Brundle. At the start, Patrese got ahead of Mansell while Brundle had a superb start, blasting by the three in front of him (Schumacher also got ahead of Senna). Patrese waved Mansell through on the Hangar straight with action behind as both Senna and Berger got ahead of Schumacher. Schumacher quickly recovered and repassed Berger at Priory before the first lap was over. Mansell led Patrese, Brundle, Senna, Schumacher and Berger. Senna put Brundle under pressure but Brundle kept the place. The round of stops changed nothing, with Mansell leading from Patrese, Brundle, Senna, Schumacher and Berger. Schumacher then went wide at a corner giving fifth to Berger. Senna only lasted until lap 53 when his transmission failed. On the next lap, Schumacher passed Berger who was suffering from engine trouble. Mansell took a win which sent his fans wild with Patrese making it one more Williams 1-2 ahead of Brundle, Schumacher, Berger and Häkkinen. There was cause for concern however, as a reckless and misguided track invasion as the race finished, could easily have ended in tragedy. Even so, Mansell overtook Jackie Stewart as the most successful British driver, with 28 wins to Stewart's 27.
