Williams FW14 & FW14B

[@nanzuke]

Beyond beautiful, one car a ahead of its time! As Master Ayrton said: A car from another world!

[@neilmadray6919]

Master Ayrton...I like it

[@Mr18000rpm]

these cars are way cooler than what we currently have for F1, the last of a breed, 3.5 litre normally aspirated Renault V10 and 18 inch rear tires, a real pavement ripper!

[@F-Man]

Two absolutely amazing automobiles and one absolutely amazing man behind them. Adrian Newey - 20 years on and he's still designing the best Formula 1 cars on the grid!

[@Fenderfan1975]

Renault Sport engine 3.5 had a wonderful sound. Great memories for those years when I was a teenager and followed gp...

[@Crisgo3d]

The Fw14b was from another planet. Its like the perfect car.

[@Sirdiggar]

Mansell looks like he's just got back from clay pigeon shooting in a country manor farm.

[@countrysteppinpimp]

Look at old Nigel showing us the cars secrets real quick nowadays you never get to see a F1 car with its engine cover off like that

[@longslongprong]

The way an F1 engine should sound, like the end of the earth

[@rob46thedoctor]

Thank you nigel, now i can copy that for my f1 car.

[@aguirreignacio]

At the end of the day, it seems that with more safety, of course, this kind of cars are perfectly possible. Big engine, big tires, smooth aerodynamics. Even that kind of electronics are not that complicated nor expensive nowadays. I think some things were artificially complicated by rules.

[@BobbyGeneric145]

I can't believe he actually pulled the covers off! To this day Williams won't say what it all is.

[@bertboutsma]

I love this car. Super cool vid.

[@decoussau911]

Amazing video.

[@robertotakaki]

McLaren-Honda MP-4/4 and Williams-Renault FW-14B - the 2 best-ever racing cars in F1 history!

[@LCSMisterGames]

Ferrari F2002

[@sen5908]

That one in the video was the 91 car, no active suspension yet, brand new semi automatic gearbox

[@gold333]

The 14B was bloated and relatively overweight because it was never designed to be active but became so in '92. The 15C was drawn as an active car from the outset and was considerably faster.

[@nicolasgarcia248]

It was desing for this suspensión, actually, the 89/90 Williams was also desing for this type of suspensión, but they later chose not to use it

[@YkSeven]

O carro que Senna merecia ter guiado...

[@SerbanManea]

another little bit of.... you got that? *ahem*

[@franciscoaparecidodasilva7397]

top😎👍

[@ElectoneGuy]

Williams could have won the 1991 championship if not for the unreliable transmission in the early part of the season. The FW14 was a much better car than McLaren's MP4/6, but McLaren had the reliability and took crucial points early on that culminated in the championship.

[@ccanaves]

And McLaren had some driver called Senna. Any other driver and Mansell would be a 2 time WC.

[@jacksmith4460]

so Nige didn't bin it because he was a fucking mad man then? it was the conditions lmao

[@flakey7832]

i'm not supposed to, but... here you go

[@Sirdiggar]

Still rate the McLaren MP4/4 the best F1 car ever.

[@Apaleutos24]

Sirdiggar very true by all accounts...

[@ElectoneGuy]

It definitely had the best winning percentage of all time, but McLaren and Honda were really the only team in 1988 to develop their car. All the other teams did very little in 1988 as the rules were to undergo a major change in 1989.

[@monteiro5306]

I agree. 👍

[@vulcanproject]

The Williams was the biggest technical leap by some distance. It was light years ahead and rivals were shocked and scrambled around to catch up. They found the best way- just ban it, it was too good. If the FIA hadn't *purposely* changed the rules because of this car and it's 1993 successor there is no way Benetton would have produced a challenger in 1994. And by produced I mean still cheat hard to win. Williams would have dominated completely until Newey left.

[@danigonzalez4299]

Indeed

[@danigonzalez4299]

Let's never forget that Senna won with a far superior car every single time he also won the WDC. The Fw14B was more advanced, but McLaren copied easy most of it's technology.

[@nicolasgarcia248]

Si no me equivoco mclaren tuvo suspensión semi activa...y solo en el 93, cuando Williams usaba el fw15... bastante superior al 14b

[@gilbertoclaudinopereira1736]

O carro certo nas mão erradas .

[@IIXRATEDIIHiTMAN]

Shows how advanced this car was when McLaren only managed to integrate proper independent active suspension into road cars in the past 3 year...

[@nicolasgarcia248]

But, this car was always on the same 5km of track over an over again, not on a route or a street ..and if the Sistem get lost the entire suspensión is a disaster...

[@jeancunhaj700]

Época de ouro da f1 quando o piloto era piloto de verdade e guiava a maquina que dava gosto de ver o quao habilidosos eles eram, agora qualquer um pode guiar um f1 basta ter dinheiro e sabe a ordem dos botões kkkkkkk

[@angrypants7619]

Mansell, about as interesting as Andy murray

[@No.Handle31]

I think your mad comparing the two. Mansell was a real great.

[@caseycolgan4141]

Nigel talking to us like he's on the golf course. god damn, imagine if they had given senna the drive like they should have in 92, at least in 93. Guaranteed he wouldn't be showing 'top secret' parts of the technology. nahh... hed be showing you pole after pole after pole. At least then youd have known a guy whos just as committed as this car was special.

[@dblue7711]

you think Mansell was less commited than Senna??? Look at their head to head racing. Senna may have been more gifted but Mansell had balls. The FW14B qualified 2.7 secs A LAP faster than any other car in the first race but tellingly Mansell was 1.9 secs faster than Patrese.

[@Den77nis]

Mansell is a good driver but no real world champion, active suspension did him the biggest career favour in 1992

[@vulcanproject]

Nonsense comment. Mansell could have walked away with 3 titles instead of just the one. He was unlucky not to be a multiple world champion. He developed later in his career into a better driver in his mid 30s. Admittedly the car was the class of the field in 1992 but it doesn't take anything away from Mansell. The fact he went straight to the USA in 1993 into a new car, totally unknown circuits against experienced quality opposition and beat them all is an indication of how good he was. The only man to hold both F1 and CART Indycar titles simultaneously. He nearly won the Indy 500 too at his first shot!

[@nicolasgarcia248]

Well, Hamilton have the merc, Schumi had the Ferrari, damon/Jacks/Nigel/prost had the Williams...prost, Senna and Mika the mclaren, Alonso with Renault,Piquet the brabham A great champion need a great car...otherwise would be like Alonso with the mclaren/honda

[@posniknelb6114]

im sorry mate but you talking out of you uneducated arse

[@sen5908]

Nobody wins a world championship in a bad car
