B194

The Benetton B194 was a Formula One car designed by Rory Byrne and used by the Benetton team during the 1994 Formula One season.

Whether it was illegal or not, Benetton B194 made history. Not just because of it light, fast, reliable, but because it showed that not everyone could get the maximum out of it.
Taming this beast helped Michael Schumacher win the 1994 Formula 1 World Championship title.

Micheal Schumacher won six of the first seven races of the season after his main rival, Ayrton Senna was killed at the San Marino Grand Prix.

Other teams suspected the B194 was not legal, due to the high competitiveness of such a comparatively underpowered car. The FIA launched an investigation and a start sequence (launch control) system was discovered in the cars’ onboard computer systems but no traction control. In the end, the governing body could not prove the systems had been used so the complaints were dropped. Schumacher himself was subject to controversy, after being disqualified from the British Grand Prix and then the Belgian Grand Prix which allowed Damon Hill to cut into the German’s points lead and as they came to the final race in Australia, Hill, and Schumacher were separated by one point.
