I've been following this thread with interest and can now offer full and final judgement on Hill's world championship win - you could have put a monkey in that williams and it would have won the championship. Hill was in the right car at the right time, nothing else. Mediocre at best.

Right, so when you were referring to the Kraut Wunderkind, it was all a good bit of jolly fun.
Oh dear Les, you sound more and more like Tony Blair.

Would you take the terms "Limey" or "Kipper" as an ethnic slur?
You are beginning to sound like a common troll!

OK firstly it was never disputed that traction control sofwtare was on the car, what was disputed was whether it was used in any way. Now as it is quite plain that you can hear the traction control working on an F1 car it would be safe to assume that as it was never heard from the 1994 Benetton then its use must have been very limited if at all.

Come come, there's more than one way to skin a cat. F1 has some very bright engineers and they are expert at going right up to the limit with respect to regs and will exploit any loophole or inconsistency if it can give then a good advantage, especially if difficult to spot
Face it, you just want to believe they cheated and that is about the sum total of your evidence. Could it not just be that Schumacher was a better driver than the rest? Just a thought

For my 2p.
Schumacher is an excellent driver and one of the finest ever.
However, it would not suprise me in the least if the car was running something it should not have been running - or at least something that was traction control in everything but name. Can't call it traction control but as near as dammit is.
Thats the way they work - minor loop holes in the rules.
For the longest time Benetton/Renualt cars get off the line better than everything else.
