Benetton was a colourful team. Literally and metaphorically. The team that made Michael Schumacher and Ross Brawn, to the Renault outfit that gave us Fernando Alonso to now floating around at the back not doing much. Via Lotus, that is...
A lot of people will point to their downfall as being 'Michael left' but there's a bit more to it than that. After all, one man can't change a whole team's destiny. Sure, there were others that also went to Ferrari, but getting things back on track seemed near impossible despite having, in theory, everything needed.
Over engineered cars, drivers that can't develop... It adds up.

@zinddy in Aiden's older videos about backmarker teams of the 80's and 90's, Roberto Moreno always ends up showing up, driving for any team that would take him, and often as a replacement when the original driver got injured, giving him the name of Super Sub, eventually he appeared in so many of Aiden's F1 story times people started asking for a video specifically about him and his career, eventually leading to Aiden promising it if he could get 100k subscribers, that he would eventually make a video about him.

Italian here. Benetton is a Venetian surname with the main stress on the last syllable. BUT the Italian racing press did sometimes use the English pronunciation, probably because they had heard it so much from English speakers. OK, an Italianised version of the English pronunciation, if it makes sense

He screwed over Brundle Twice as well. Aguri Suzuki spoke in recent years of his 1995 - he apparently told Mugen Suzuki would have the Ligier seat for the full season (Lie) and also neglected to tell Brundle he would be sharing the car with Suzuki. This after buying Ligier to get the Renault contract for Benetton, and then swiping the Mugen Engines from Minardi at the last minute too (the aforementioned Suzuki deal.)

Btw, most Italians pronounce Benetton roughly the way you do. The correct pronunciation would probably be BenetTON with the stress on the last syllable but literally no one outside of Veneto says it like that

@ibex485 Месяц назад

When assessing Benetton's performance in 1996, remember Schumacher wasn't the only person who had left for Ferrari. A number of key people from Benetton were poached by Ferrari also. Not only would this have affected the design & development of the car, but also at races with setting up & operating the car. Benetton are also a team which historically usually went well at low downforce tracks (even when they didn't have particularly powerful engines) as their design philosophy gave a higher priority to mechanical grip, as this was relatively cheap compared to maximising downforce. (Jordan did the same. It's also one reason why both teams tended to do well in the rain.) Berger was also somewhat of a specialist at Hockenheim, Monza & other low downforce tracks.

@simonkevnorris Месяц назад

Ross Brawn and Rory Byrne were part of the group that joined Ferrari along with Michael.

@demdjen77 Месяц назад

Ross Brawn and Rory Byrne joined Ferrari in late 1996 when the '96 Benetton was almost finished.

@ibex485 Месяц назад

@@demdjen77 The relevant date is when they stopped working for Benetton. When staff are due to leave for another team it is routine for them to be put on 'gardening leave' or at the very least restricted duties. My point was also that not having them available during the season was a significant hinderance. F1 cars (especially in that era) are pure prototypes which are continuously developed through the season. Also designing the car is only half the challenge, you also need to be able to set it up for changing tracks & conditions to be able to utilise the performance potential of its design & construction. Things were very different then to how it is now. Practice sessions mattered far more as the teams had to do their setup work at the track (not in advance on simulators as they do now).

@demdjen77 Месяц назад

@@ibex485 Ok, understood. The 1997 Ferrari definitely wasn't a winning car as we say at the beginning of the season. Ross and Rory did some updates during the year. I remember Schumacher was very dissapointed when he found out during the 1st test that the car still had massive understeer like F310. About the simulators.... please tell this to TeamLH... they believe Schumacher was in major advantage because of the Fiorano track :)

@ibex485 Месяц назад

@@demdjen77 That's no surprise, for 1997 they used the F310B - an evolution of John Barnard's F310. It wasn't until 1998 that they had a car fully designed by the new dream team. The F310's understeer might not have been bad. Schumacher liked/needed a car with a lot of rear instability for his driving style. (Which made cars almost undrivable for his team mates.) He was one of the first to use what's now the default style of going into corners deep, having the car rotate sharply and taking a straight exit - which maximises traction/acceleration & braking performance by keeping the car straight during those phases (but at the expense of lower miminum corner speed). (As opposed to the classic style of taking the corner in a smooth arc following a path of least resistance and carrying as much speed through the corner.) Having Fiorano was certainly an advantage for Ferrari in the days before testing was restricted, but not a huge one (otherwise the other big teams would have followed suit, or at least built permenant test facilities at existing tracks). By the time the simulation tools became advanced enough, testing was heavily restricted/banned anyway. So Fiorano can only be used for 'filming days' and running old cars. (Although a private test track could be more of an advantage, if trying to sneak in some testing using loopholes - everyone uses filming days for shakedowns & aero testing, there are some suspicions about what Ferrari may have been doing.)

Little known fact, back in 2000 Flav really, _REALLY_ want to get rid of Alex Wurz. He disliked Alex so much, that when Alex begged for a new racing shoes to fit the car Flav scorned him instead. So when he was dropped and got replaced by Jenson, once Alex was hired as McLaren test driver it was basically a liberation for him.

Seeing the Benetton reminds me how much I miss the days of teams using different colour rims. The white on the Benetton, the gold on the Ferraris and Jaguars and the orange on the Arrows. Those wheels looked so much better than plain old black or silver that most were using.

@ibex485 Месяц назад

Benetton's front torque transfer system connected the front wheels together via unpowered 'driveshafts' and a differential. Its purpose was to aid braking performance. When braking one tyre will generally lock up before the other, if the car is steering while braking with the weight shift to the outer side of the car the inner unloaded tyre will tend to lock up more easily. The aim of the torque transfer system was to spread the forces of braking between both front tyres - transferring some from the unloaded tyre to the one which had more grip and allowing the driver to brake deeper into the corner. Fisichella used the system, but the added weight of the system (I remember a number of 5-7Kg, which may or may not be accurate) and where it was on the car was an issue with Wurz and he couldn't use it. Wurz was much taller (6ft iirc) and thus heavier than Fisichella. And although his car would still be on the weight limit with it, it left him with less ballast to position for adjusting the car's balance. (An significant issue for all tall drivers, such as Berger, Coulthard & Hill.) BAR tried a copycat system a few years later.

For someone who has been watching the whole life of the Enstone team (and longer!), this was really interesting. It took me back to the time of small children wondering what the hell I saw in motorbikes and cars going around tracks (until number 1 son decided bikes were cool and would come and watch them with me. I regretted it when he got his first bike 🥴). The older they got, the more weekend time I had to expand the types of racing I could watch, but F1 had always been "my time" when it was on. Nowhere near as often as now! Now there are grandkids of that age, but they don't live close enough to stay on the weekends 😢. Congratulations on reaching the 100k! You bloody deserve it.

My controversial opinion was that if Berger was on his late-80s/Early 90s form in 1997 he could have had a shot at the championship. He had some brilliant drives that season and he was like 500 years old too and had an infection. I still feel he's one of the best to never be a WDC, and I rate him above single champions like Scheckter, Jones, and Keke (with all do respect to them, especially Keke.)

Worth pointing out that Schumacher's driving style was completely at odds with Berger & Alesi. Michael had a very oversteery-pointy car, whereas Gerhard & Alesi preferred a planted back end and found Michael's set-up un-driveable. Schumacher also tested the Ferrari '95 car pre season and said it was good enough to win the Championship, much to the chagrin of John Barnard. Benetton had the dual issue of having to design a completely different car and losing a driver who was bluntly in a different league to Gerhard and Jean. Signing them was a tad lazy as Gerhard was treading water and Jean was the modern day Chris Amon, so it was always going to be downhill the way it was run.
