San Marino Grand Prix 1992 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Nigel Mansell made it an unprecedented five wins from five starts at Imola, rewriting Formula 1's record books with a display of dominance that had never been seen before. The Englishman controlled the San Marino Grand Prix from pole position with characteristic authority, leading every lap to extend his perfect championship start. Mansell's relentless consistency and the FW14B's technical superiority had established an early-season advantage that appeared insurmountable.

Riccardo Patrese finished second for Williams, delivering another solid supporting performance that secured maximum constructors' points for the team. The Italian was again comprehensively beaten by his teammate but drove a clean race to ensure both Williams cars finished on the podium. Ayrton Senna salvaged third place for McLaren, though the defending champion was clearly frustrated at being unable to challenge the Williams duo with his increasingly uncompetitive machinery.

The race underlined Williams' complete technical domination of Formula 1 in 1992, with their active suspension and electronic driver aids providing an advantage that rivals struggled to match. Mansell's fifth consecutive victory was a historic achievement that put him on track for the most dominant championship performance in decades. With 50 points from a possible 50, the title already appeared to be a formality.
