Vettel describes feeling of driving Mansell’s FW14B

Sebastian Vettel felt like he had been transported back 30 years when he drove the Williams FW14B in a Silverstone demo run.

The four-time World Champion had the chance to take the FW14B out onto the track at Silverstone, the car which took Nigel Mansell to his title in 1992, and the one which Vettel now owns.

There was also a very modern twist to Vettel’s experience, as he drove the FW14B running on a carbon-neutral fuel, a nod to the future which Formula 1 is chasing.

Just to make the occasion that bit more special, on top of the fact that it happened on Vettel’s 35th birthday, an emotional Mansell met Vettel on the track once the action had finished.
