I think, as has been said, that it's simply a case of Boutsen being out of contract at the end of the year and, knowing that Mansell was signed, he 'jumped before he was pushed'.
I always had the feeling that Boutsen wasn't a great fit at Williams whereas Patrese certainly was. Riccardo was always very much a team player, and worked hard with Renault to develop the car/engine combination that was to prove so successful.Riccardo Patrese - 256GPs 1977-1993

When did Mansell announce his 'retirement'?

Looked up on Wiki and Boutsen was on a two year contract.
Williams and Mansell were talking throughout 1990 but were stalled because Senna was using Williams to renegotiate with McLaren - hence Mansell's 'retirement'.
I know that Patrese had a strong working relationship with Williams (did Boutsen sense this?) but out of interest (Arrows?) how long did Patrese initially sign for Williams?

just Remember Mansell had already said he was retiring at Silverstone in July and I think he started negotiating with Williams and Renault pretty soon after that, so Boutsen just jumped before he was thrown out.
