Now 25 years after its competition debut at the 1992 South African Grand Prix, the Williams FW14B is still one of the most iconic grand prix cars of all time, and frequently features in ‘top-ten’ selections of the most successful Formula One cars through the years.
The car’s white, blue and yellow livery became synonymous with Williams’s success from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, and of course has become inseparably linked to the race number ‘Red 5’ and Nigel Mansell’s distinctive helmet colours.
The FW14B dominated the 1992 season, thanks in part to its active suspension system, which provided a stable platform to exploit Adrian Newey’s unrivalled flair for aerodynamic design.
However, the active suspension was just one element in the ‘package’ that brought the FW14B and Williams so much success.
The car was powered by a peerless Renault V10 engine, and featured a blown diffuser and traction control, plus pioneering electronic control systems that would soon become commonplace in Formula One.
To celebrate its rich history and success, we've put together this handy infographic that looks at what's inside this famous Formula One car that helped power it to victory time and time again.
