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

Ahead of t🍸he British Grand Prix, the ex-F1 w🔥orld champion took the legendary Nigel Mansell’s 1992 Williams for a spin.
“It was unbelievable,” Button reacted. “I🌊 did the seat fitting in it, already it was pretty emotional just sitting in that c🦄ar.




“It was 𓆏the car of probably a lot of our childhoods🔯. It stood out because of the way Nigel was driving it.
“I remember sitting on the sofa 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 be🎃cause 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. 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.”
