Red Hot Five ! - Mansell's historic Williams F1 winner sells for a whopping £2.7million.

A classic Formula One car that Nigel Mansell drove to his only World Championship victory has sold at auction.

The Williams-Renault FW14B took the British racer to the crown in 1992 and is regarded as one of the greatest cars of all-time.

Mansell won nine out of the sixteen races that season and also secured a further three podium finishes as he romped to the title.
