Benetton Method Ltd., commonly referred to simply as Benetton, was a Formula A single constructor that participated via 1986 to 2001. The team was owned because of the Benetton family who run an internationally chain of clothing stores of the same name. In 2000 the group was purchased by Renault, but competed as Benetton with the 2000 and 2001 periods. In 2002 the workforce became Renault F1.The Benetton Group entered Formula One to be a sponsor company for Tyrrell within 1983, then Alfa Romeo throughout 1984 and 1985 and then Toleman in 1985. Benetton Formula Ltd. was formed at the tip of 1985 when the particular Toleman team was sold on the Benetton family. The team began with BMW engines then later switched to Ford then Renault and lastly Playlife.
Parker Stevenson turned 60 on June 4.
The team was managed by means of Flavio Briatore from 1990 until finally 1997. In about 1991, TWR acquired a one-third stake inside team, bringing in Tom Walkinshaw and Ross Brawn to operate the engineering operations. Rocco Benetton, the youngest son connected with Luciano Benetton joined the team as Leader in 1998 and dismissed from your job Briatore. He replaced him together with Prodrive boss David Richards, who lasted only for just a year when he also was fired, due to a disagreement with the Benetton family about foreseeable future strategy. Following Richards' departure, Rocco Benetton managed the team for several years until its sale in order to Renault.The Benetton team is better known for its achievement with Michael Schumacher, who accounts for 19 from the team's 27 career advantages and their 2 drivers' competition. After switching to Renault motors, they also won this constructor's championship in 1995 using Schumacher and Johnny Herbert. After 1995, Schumacher moved to Ferrari together with Ross Brawn, Rory Byrne and 11 other key figures from his two championship winning times with Benetton.
About March 16, 2000, the team was offered to Renault for $120 mil US. As part of the restructuring, Renault brought back Flavio Briatore seeing that team manager. The team still used the Playlife engines (although descended from Renault motors) that they had been using going back two years. The drivers were Giancarlo Fisichella as well as Alexander Wurz. The team scored 20 details, as well as 3 podium coatings in 2000 at Brazilian, Monaco and Canada.During their final year in 2001 the people, Jenson Button and Giancarlo Fisichella, were often on a corner two rows of the actual grid. This was in part assigned to the new 111-degree wide angle engine. But continued development helped Benetton to leave Solution 1 on something of any high, and the cars' functionality lifted. Button and Fisichella scored 10 points with the team, including a podium end for Fisichella in Belgium.
Through the 1994 season, some rival teams advertised Benetton had found ways to violate the FIA-imposed prohibit on electronic aids, including traction control and launch control. On investigation, the FIA discovered "start sequence" (kick off control) software inside the Benetton B194 cars, and a variety involving illegal software in rival teams' cars likewise. FIA had no evidence the application was ever used, so teams found while using the software received little to help no punishment. No traction control software was found to stay the Benetton cars, however. Flavio Briatore, Benetton's chief in 1994, said in 2001 that will "Our only mistake was that at that time we were too young and the ones were suspicious".
Over the 1994 season Benetton removed a fuel filter through the refueling rig used during pit stops. This may have resulted in a fire that happened during Jos Verstappen's primary pitstop at Hockenheim. This resulted in further inquiries from the FIA, during which, the refuelling rig manufacturer made clear that in their opinion the modification would have resulted in 10% higher flow rates compared to the rules allowed[citation needed]. Again the team proceeded to go without substantial punishment.
