The Williams FW14B is one of the most dominant title-winners in F1 history, winning nine out of that season's 16 races. The FW14B was one of the iconic cars designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, who went on to oversee the design of Vettel's four title-winning Red Bull cars the start of the 2010s.

The car features the famous red number five on the nose, the number Mansell would also use on route to the CART championship in 1993 having left F1 as reigning champion.
