Season 1992 in Formula 1: "Everything I've Ever Dreamed of"

Season 1992 in Formula 1: "Everything I've Ever Dreamed of"

The season in 1992 in Formula 1 started without any particular changes in terms of drivers and teams. In an equal battle for the top of the world, experience meets youth to remind ambitious debutants that to achieve their dreams, they have to work hard.

For years, Nigel Mansell missed the world title. 12 years after his debut in Formula 1, the Brit is waiting for his moment. The Williams-Renault driver convincingly wins the first five starts of the season and makes a serious claim in the battle for the trophy. In the end, despite the competition, Mansell won 4 more. Thus, after the Hungarian Grand Prix, five races before the end of the season, he secured the first and only world title of his career. And he also became the first driver to win 9 races on the Formula 1 calendar in one season. Second in the standings is his teammate Ricardo Patrese. Michael Schumacher sensationally placed third. The Benetton-Ford driver, who made his debut last season, won one start on the calendar - that of the Belgian Grand Prix, which, against the background of Mansell's dominance, was enough for a place on the podium. The future 7-time world champion also recorded two fastest laps. This happens at the Belgian Grand Prix and the Australian Grand Prix. Defending world champion Arton Senna failed in the endeavor and after only 3 wins in the season, settled for 4th position.

In constructors with two drivers at the head of the order, Williams-Renault easily won the world title. Second is McLaren Honda, and third is Benetton-Ford. Fourth-Ferrari.

The Scuderia is experiencing some difficulties after parting ways with three-time world champion Alain Prost at the end of last season. The Frenchman was replaced by Ivan Cappelli and missed the 1992 race. After a one-year absence, Prost returns to Formula 1.
