Chris Harris on The 1990 Williams-Renault FW13B Formula One Car - Hungarian Grand Prix Winner

- This is one for all you F1 fans out there! As an introduction for its arrival on Private Sales by Collecting Cars, Chris Harris dives into the archives with former Head of Williams Heritage, Jonathan Williams, to discuss the history of the grand prix winning 1990 Williams-Renault FW13B Formula 1 car.
This car is now available on Private Sales by Collecting Cars: collectingcars.com/for-sale/1...
With a striking design that any aesthete can appreciate, the FW13/13B model is a particularly notable racer from Williams’ history, claiming three Grand Prix wins across the 1989 and 1990 seasons. That achievement is all the more impressive considering the dominance of Senna and Prost over those two years; between them winning 21 of the 32 races.
Chassis FW13B-08 is arguably the most impressive of all, securing not only pole position in qualifying, but taking its driver to outright victory at the Hungaroring in 1990, leading from start to finish.
Finding a car that has spent 25 years in its team’s private collection is unusual, but another factor that makes this chassis especially rare is that it retains the original Renault RS2 3.5-litre V10. Most of these powertrains were scrapped in period, so it is remarkable to find a car still running its correct and fully functional ‘works’ engine.

This is the sort of content the cosmos wants you to produce rather than the Top Gear centrist stuff. Thank you. I hope you enjoy doing what you were destined for - I absolutely love it.
I seriously couldnt agree any more. This was breath taking.
Amen 🙏🏻
Absolutely awesome interview. Thank you so much. Cheers.
Thank you, glad you're enjoying!
centrist? How is this not like some of the features did?
The amount of knowledge Mr. Jonathan Williams has is mind-blowing.
We need to get him on podcast!
Was just about to post a request for him on the podcast! No offence to the Collecting Addicts but they’re not a patch on the amazing conversations Chris did initially!
@@hazzaj9414exactly. Nicky Grist!!
Collecting Cars is allowing Chris to grow and develop.
I am really happy to hear them not disallowing ;)
Chris - collect cars, grow and develop...
Chris had "grown" many years ago, what we are lucky enough to see now is a man happy just to be himself and with no desire to impress.
He is such a remarkable journalist, not purely because of his own talents/abilities, but because he is happy to praise those who he has learnt from.
Glad you're enjoying!
What a treat it would be to have a series of hour long programs with Jonathan Williams talking about each FW car from the 90’s.
We like the sounds of this
There is a tour of the museum with Johnny on CZcams it’s fantastic
@@Trollhater-mb8ne The videos with Peter Windsor? Yes, highly recommended.
Chris Harris on: Race car History. ❤️
Please do more racing stories like this. We need more historical looks into racing than the oversubscribed world of super cars we’ll never have. Great work.
💯
I think I could listen to Jonathan Williams and Chris Harris talk about Formula 1 for a week and still not be bored. Stellar work!
Some people still don’t realise just how good Nigel Mansell was. One of the best F1 drivers ever.
@@elfredo70 Yep thats why Number 5 is white.
One of the best? From how many? The best is the last Championship winner not winners of almost forgotten seasons that current era DTS people would describe as 'untrue' or 'insane.' NM was overrated. He was a fast wise man but his moaning is a soul destroyer 😅😅
And a nice guy.
Once I was part of a guard stopping fans mobbing Nige when he raced a Sierra in the BTCC series at Silverstone.
If Nigel spotted a fan in a wheelchair or on crutches , he would go over to them and spend many minutes chatting.
For sure one of the Good Guys.
@@samuelgarrod8327 Well he was racing in an era when you had 4/5 people with a shout of winning the WDC. Rather than the 1 horse winnners of the past 15 years.
Be real man. He was soundly beaten by Prost and DeAngeles in a same car.
Top Gear kicking the can was the best thing to ever happen to the Internet.
That was THE Pinnacle of the sport. 3.5 V10 manual. The sound and visual drama. Driver skills were paramount! Very unlike contemporary equipment which has more resemblance to playstation than exciting racing. Pitcrew in shorts and no helmets is just a sight to behold 👍👏
The thing about that Mansell story that went untold - the first time Nigel got in the car and went around the track, he immediately came into the pits and said "go to the truck and get me the softest springs you've got". After they were fitted, Nige went two seconds quicker than the car had ever gone around that circuit. That's why Patrick felt they'd wasted 1990 - they'd (at Boutsen's behest) gone completely in the wrong direction in terms of car setup.
Good pilots drive cars fast. Great pilots help build them faster.
That's right, although Head has also stated 3 seconds! Having both Boutsen and Patrese was a mistake - although I rated the latter - and I'm somewhat surprised that Renault didn't apply pressure to get an out and out Number 1, though I believe Williams did try. Boutsen was never top draw and was only really at Williams by default.
@@djh29971agreed total mystery.
@@djh29971 Didn't Renault along with ELF insist on Prost after Nigel had rewritten the record book in 1992?
Patrick head said it was the anti roll bar, boutsen had been used to a really stiff anti roll bar, fitting a softer one then setting the car up around that he said if nigel was in the car in 1990 hed have been within touching distance of the championship, probably second but giving Senna a run for his money closer than Prost did in the Ferrari.
He also Reckoned Nigel would have been even more dominant in the 93 car than in 92, as Prost struggled with the active suspension which was most advantageous to the aggressive drivers like Mansell and Senna, not the smooth drivers like Prost.
Brilliant, just bloody brilliant! Great car with that amazing documented history. Chris, can we please have an extended interview with Jonathon Williams.
Cannot understand why anyone would downvote this; crazy.
Thank you, glad you're enjoying! We need him on the podcast!
This era of F1 was sadly before my time, but thank you for this conversation as I learnt so much!
F1tv has old races available to watch. It is incredible!
Glad you enjoyed!
What a machine!! I was 13 when this car was winning races, remember watching those races with my dear old dad, thanks for bringing back those memories, miss you Dad, peace
As an F1 nerd of not-quite-FW-13B-acquiring means, I’d love to be able to buy a book like the one presented here. Williams ought to consider a small run of these books for the slightly less well heeled enthusiasts among us.
Great video. I clicked to see the car but stayed for the story. An amazing time in F1.
LJK Setright, Russell Bulgin, Chris Harris: Legends
The first two died of cancer.. three times lucky for Harris?
@@petesmitt ...not a prediction, but a gravitas meter👍.
3 guys whose opinion really counts.
Wow, that didn’t feel like 17 minutes. I legitimately got goose bumps when the book was shown with the run sheets. Incredible stuff. Please Chris, more of this!
The story I heard about Nigel Mansell testing the FW13 was that he told them to put on the softest springs they had and suddenly the car was fast. This story was from Jonathan Williams on Peter Windor's CZcams channel.
The best era in F1 in my opinion, late 1980's to mid/late 1990's. That howling exotic sound and titanium sparks flying out the back. I can't even care about the modern Formula 1 since they went V6 turbo 😢
Since they became Play Station and owned by Americans. Formula One is now garbage
@@mohamedalkaboom nothing but the truth.
wec is now the best racing series there is.
Fantastic content and production (and where has Jonathan Williams been hiding? - love to hear more from him)
Thank you, glad you're enjoying!
He’s been at Williams heritage, instead of where he should have been…
Video
the level of joy in the eyes of Chris Harris !
Absolutely awesome interview. Thank you so much. Cheers.
Fantastic interview Chris! Thank you
That was one of the best videos/interviews I’ve seen for a while. What a knowledge and memory Jonathan has. 👏🏼👏🏼
What a beautiful piece of work this video is, Chris looks so excited to be there. Such a brilliant video
Amazing interview! I could watch this on and on. Brilliant
Wow .... what a wonderful film.
I am old enough to be around in those days and was always a huge Williams fan. Sublime to see Johnathan being interviewed by Chris.
Thank you Collecting Cars !
Amazing content. I can vividly remember watching Budapest 1990 on Eurosport while on holiday in Portugal.
Highly emotional. Having been the avid F1 follower on TV in those days, this somehow feels like a part of my own history.
Thanks to all involved in this production.
With the podcast and these kind of videos this channel is going to blow up big time. Chris at his best.
Superb video with a very knowledgeable interviewee.
I feel this video was made specifically for me. It’s 100% right up my alley. The subject matter, the time period and the content. Perfection.
That was a wonderful video.
Love these type of one on one interviews !!!!👍🇦🇺
A great era of F1 and the best sounding cars.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
What a great story and a great video. I enyoj watching someone with your passion Chris and your knowledge about motorsport telling stories about history of racing. Great job
A great video and conversation.
Incredible car and incredible video. This is the fantastic stuff we like seeing from you Chris
Absolutely fascinating video. In nerd heaven with this Chris, we need more content like this. Maybe a series on old single seaters, sportscars, touring cars and rally cars.
This was incredible viewing! A perfect in depth look into not only this beautiful machine but F1 in that era, for a purist this made my week thankyou for uploading this masterpiece for an old school F1 fan
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic content!
Chris Harris doing best, just been Chris Harris, asking, insightful questions, more importantly, listening and then adding value at every step, we love you, Chris!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Collecting Cars needs to be an hour long TV episode to show the world how to make automotive content.....Chris sets the bar...
Wow wow wow! That must've been such a pleasure to produce! Great content & I've never wanted to win the lottery so much in my life!!!
What something like this gives the viewer is a true, heart of your soul talk. Jonathan Williams' knowledge, his calm precise manner is wonderful. And Chris, his memories, pleasure and admiration of the people and the cars is so good to watch. First Class
This was nothing but Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
What a brilliant and fascinating look into the history of F1 racing in the 1990s. Thank you!
This might be the best 2023 car video. Thank you, Jonathan and Chris
The touch is well and truly with Chris harris in terms of motoring journalism.... great content...
More of this Chris, give us more please!
This is great, love the racing car stuff. We'll done Chris, and Mr Williams, nice guy. Have subbed.
Brilliant,
Would love to see some more Mansel content.
A fascinating insight and a great watch, what an incredible era of racing.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Please release a version of that book for public purchase :) None of us normal people who watched the mighty FW13B on the TV back in the day can afford the car but we might able to afford the book. Have a great Christmas to Chris and the whole team at Williams! Thanks for the great video
What a fabulous video 👌
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
That was WONDERFUL !
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Fantastic watch - beautiful car and what a gentleman JW is. Could listen to him talk for hours
A pleasure to listen to a couple of very wise and very good communicators, talk about such a cool car.
That was Awesome. i was really hoping for a start-up
What a great story… love these videos Chris does..
And this is why i barely watch " traditional" tv . Your knowledge and integrity shines through. Cheers.
Chris Harris just gets better and better
Simply loved this
This is pure journalism. This is so far beyond what Chris would have been allowed to do with Top Gear. Well done. Chris. Well done.
What a wonderful video. Hate to think how much it would cost to rebuild the engine though :O
I’m 51 years old, and to this day I still use a Canon camera because of the Williams F1 cars of this era. Great content Chris, more please !,
man. I am such a fan of Williams as a team in general. Lot's of effort and passion
More of these please
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Such an era of Formula I.. I was fortunae enough to have family living in Monaco so for decades from 1964 well into the early 2000's I was @ Monaco watching the FI spectacle.. Getting to the Hungaroring would have also been tremendous.... Anyway, Thank You very, very much Mr. Harris for sharing this beautiful FI creature with us mere mortals.. & now I think I'll go watch your older review of the Audi RS4's..... Cheers...
Great story Chris, enjoyed your book too
This was fantastic.
Williams , the 'guy in the chair' has always been such an inspiration for me. It proves that, no matter how much adversity you might face - you can forge ahead and still come out on top
Ive stood next to this car with nigel mansell as he gave a small group of us a private tour of his museum including all his cars and trophies, unforgettable day. What a guy and what a driver !
A thing of beauty.
Wow amazing!
Though my interest in the sport was really cultivated during the mid 2000s it wasn't until recently I reached the same conclusion as Mr Williams; that I prefer the note of the early 90s V10 engines over those shrieking early to mid 2000 engines that originally captured my imagination during my formative years. This was a pleasure to watch and listen to, many thanks.
I was at the Grove Heritage Museum a few weeks ago, well worth a visit for anyone who has followed F1 going back 30+ years.
Whoa how did I miss this
Absolutely epic
Fantastic 👍
Fascinating stuff.
Chris Harris you gem, you are my face of britain 😄 greetings from 🇸🇪
cool interview that Mr H.
Just awesome
These videos are my favourite kind of advertising
We think this is Chris Harris at his best, please do more!!
I've been a Williams support since back when Alan Jones was driving.
I was obsessed with Williams. I even wrote a letter to them asking about the best way to become and engineer. I got a lovely letter back from one of their engineers telling my the path way. Unfortunately at the time, I need a job and ended up as a draughtsman for a formwork company that was a US subsidiary. As I spent quite a few years in the US, I knew imperial and metric, so I got the job.
I used to ride motorcycles and I bought an Arai lid at the motorcycle show for a steal and then sent it to Mike Fairholme (sp) to paint it as Mansell's replica.
I was so pissed off when Mansell went to Ferrari.
Alas these days, we're lucky to get a few points.
I'm also pissed as Newey for jumping ship to the team that started him off.
Fabulous
We need more old F1/lemans/rally etc videos like this!
I LOVE THIS! ❤️
Wow. Nothing more than just wow
One of my favourite F1 cars. Iconic livery with the unique intake and suspension “humps” with that monster Renault 3.5 V10.
damnn these 90's and 80's cars looked so so good
Every time I watch Chris Harris talking about cars like this, I get an idea what it's like for people to talk to me about Cars.
You can hear the Passion for everything about this car.
What an amazing film.
Such a shame Johnny isn’t still at grove , he’s a lovely guy. It’s not the same at work with no family members there.
That book is amazing, want it!
Thierry Boutsen is one of those awesome F1 names from my teen years in the 80's, watching F1 when ever I could find footage on Canadian TV.
I remember being 8 or 9 watching F1 every weekend and hearing the v10’s howl round the track it makes my hairs stand on end as i’m typing this, hell of an era for the sport
Wow! What a story that was.
Do we ever really appreciate Nigel Mansell? As a teen I took my 125cc to his garage nr Wimborne and looked at his Ferraris…….what a time to be alive
