What is ungrammatical about: "Jack believed that Bob said that Nancy saw Bill drove fast yesterday"?

What is ungrammatical about this sentence?

Jack believed that Bob said that Nancy saw Bill drove fast yesterday.

At the moment I have found out that the main verb,believed, is tensed, and the suboordinate clauses are complements of the verb. However, I am struggling with finding a mistake in this sentence. The only thing I can think of right now is that the word ''that'' is optional in tensed subordinate clause complements, but I am not sure if that's the actual error
