When I think back, I have two racing cars I would call great. First, the Brabham BT49B, and second the Williams FW14\u2014not the \u201cactive\u201d car, but the 1991 car. They were by far the best to drive and gave a great feeling coming back to the driver. They were also winners of Grands Prix for me, but most of all a great pleasure to drive. The Williams FW14 gave me two victories, one at Mexico and the other in Portugal. I made a poor start, in Mexico. I think we started three times for some reason and I ended up 4th or 5th behind Nigel (Mansell). I was able to get back into the race, and overtook Jean Alesi and Ayrton Senna. I passed Nigel too, I think he had engine problems, and led the race from there to the finish. Portugal was less eventful, I was on pole and it was a flag-to-flag victory. The FW14 was designed by Adrian Newey and had a V10 Renault engine. Strangely, all these years later, Adrian is still building winning GP cars at Red Bull, with Renault power, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
