Pre-season
The four major teams all kept at least one driver from 1991, with the two main title challengers both fielding unchanged driver lineups.

- Williams likewise retained Nigel Mansell and Riccardo Patrese.
- Ferrari replaced Alain Prost with Ivan Capelli.
- Benetton retained Michael Schumacher, now paired with Martin Brundle.
