Race Summary
Nigel Mansell continued his perfect start to the 1992 season with a dominant second consecutive victory at the Mexican Grand Prix, leading another Williams one-two finish that emphasized the team's overwhelming superiority. The Englishman controlled proceedings from pole position with metronomic consistency, never seriously challenged as he extended his championship lead. Mansell's measured performance demonstrated that Williams' South African triumph was no fluke - they possessed a technical advantage that would reshape the championship battle.
Riccardo Patrese again finished second for Williams, cementing the team's early stranglehold on the championship. The Italian drove a solid race but remained well off Mansell's blistering pace, highlighting the gap between the teammates. Michael Schumacher claimed his first podium finish of the season for Benetton in third place, announcing his arrival as a serious contender and demonstrating the young German's prodigious talent despite inferior machinery.
The race continued Mansell's remarkable consistency in converting pole positions into victories, establishing a pattern that would define the season. With two wins from two starts, the Englishman had sent an ominous message to his rivals that 1992 would be his year. Senna's retirement with electrical problems highlighted McLaren's struggles with their increasingly uncompetitive Honda-powered package.
