Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Williams #racing is delighted to have reunited 1992 Formula One World
Driver's Champion #nigelmansell CBE with his championship winning
car, the FW14B, at the prestigious #goodwoodfestivalofspeed. Closing
out the #event with a triumphant parade lap of the famous hillclimb,
Mansell parked up in front of #goodwood House before taking a spot on
the balcony to greet the thousands of fans who had gathered to
celebrate the 30th anniversary of his title.


Speaking to Nigel after running the historic car up the famous
Goodwood Hill, Nigel said "I'm incredibly honoured to be here at
Goodwood in my anniversary year and not only to see this car again, but
to make the journey up this hill has been a very special moment for
Williams and myself. I am thrilled to be here with the team, and it was
great to be back behind the wheel of this exceptional race car. It's been
a very emotional moment to drive in front of the fans from all over the
world and a memory I am going to cherish."


The FW14B has been run today by Williams Heritage to commemorate
Nigel's spectacular championship win 30 years ago. Nigel's Formula
One career spanned 15 years and saw him score 31 Grand Prix wins
and 59 podiums, as well as the 1992 Drivers' title with Williams. He was
also CART IndyCar World Series champion in 1993.


The 1992 FW14B was the dominant car that year, taking the Drivers'
Championship with a then-record 10 wins from 16 races that season,
nine of which were thanks to Nigel. The 69-year-old set records that
season which are still to be beaten, including the highest percentage of
pole positions in a season (88%) and most wins from pole position in a
season (nine).


Over the course of Festival of Speed this year, Williams Racing
showcased four cars. As well as running the FW14B, the current
Formula One FW44, Damon Hill's 1996 World Championship winning
FW18 and Jacques Villeneuve's title winning FW19 could be seen on
static display.
The #goodwoodfestivalofspeed is an annual hillclimb held in the
grounds of #goodwood House, West Sussex, England in July.
