Please click the pictures for a larger image.

Unique and Exclusive Piece of Formula One History. 

This is the steering wheel that was used by Nigel Mansell on the Williams FW14B for the first 7 races of the 1992 championship winning season. Used to secure 6 pole positions and win the first 5 races of the season.

The year began with five straight victories, all from pole position, which gave Nigel an unassailable lead in the World Championship that he was never to lose.

The sixth race of the year was the now legendary Monaco Grand Prix. Again on pole position, Nigel quickly asserted his dominance over the race, pulling away from Ayrton Senna’s Mclaren Honda with relative ease. With less than ten laps to go, his FW14B suffered a lose rear wheel that required an unscheduled pit stop. Returning to the race behind Senna, an intense battle ensued all the way to the flag, with Nigel never more than a car’s length behind the Mclaren all the way to the finish.

Next time out in Montreal for the 1992 Canadian Grand Prix, Nigel again found himself battling for the lead with Ayrton Senna, who had taken his first pole position of the year. Early in the race the two drivers disputed the lead at the chicane, resulting in Nigel’s first retirement of the year as he crashed through the gravel trap, coming to rest someway down the pit straight following Senna’s refusal to yield the lead of the race. During the recovery of the stricken FW14B, the working mechanicals of the steering wheel were damaged hence this item was decommissioned.

At the 1995 Spanish Grand Prix, Nigel Mansell signed it at the request of Richard West, then Marketing boss of the Williams Team. This race would be the last in Nigel Mansell’s long and distinguished Formula One career. The steering wheel was part of the Williams family’s private collection of memorabilia and is provided with full documentation from the Williams Team.
