Who was british F1 world champion in 1992?
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.
