PICTURED: Jenson Button drives Nigel Mansell’s 1992 Williams at Silverstone

Ahead of the British Grand Prix, the ex-F1 world champion took the legendary Nigelꦦ Mansell’s 1992 Williams for a spin.
“It was unbelievable,” But🐭ton reacted. “I did the seat fitting in it, already it was pretty emotional just sitting in that car.




“It was the car of probably a lot of our ch😼ildhoods. It stood out because of the way Nigel 🐻was driving it.
“I remember sitting on the sof🌌a with the old man, watching all the races and seeing him clinch the title.
😼“I got in there, it’s tiny inside! The♛ seat is fine because I drove it but the pedals, the steering wheel… it’s so small!
“Once you get on track? The sound of the engine… you never know🌞 what to expect when it’s 31 years old.
“You’re sat so high in the car but the visibility is amazing.𒁃 You can see so much compared to modern cars.
♚“It’s bloody quick! In a straight line it’s impressive🔯. But the high speed is sensational, far beyond what I expected.”
