Book excerpt: A behind-the-scenes look at the Benetton Formula 1 racing team. As the 1998 season unfolds, all eyes will be on Benetton, curious to see how its new boss David Richards will run the team after the departure of the flamboyant Flavio Briatore, and perhaps even more significantly, whether Benetton's novice driver partnership of Giancarlo Fisichella and Alexander Wurz is more successful than the highly experienced former Ferrari pairing of Gerhard Berger and Jean Alesi. It also shows how the Italian-based, family-fashion empire uses Formula 1 as a marketing tool.
Download or read book Benetton Formula 1 written by Pino Allievi and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benetton's story is a rather anomalous one. It arises from the dream of an industrialist--who has never made cars but instead pullovers--to race his cars in the Formula 1. It was a dream that became a reality in an extraordinarily effective manner. It was a phenomenon, a unique and probably unrepeatable event that overturned the parameters of the world of Grand Prix.Today, Luciano Benetton can look back with pride and mull over how good his team was during those 19 years on the track, first as sponsor and then as constructor. He can remember the figures who took part in the adventure and recall the major events in each season and the numerous drivers, the best being Michael Schumacher, who was unknown when first hired. Benetton as an adventurer in a field not his own and Formula 1 as the backdrop to a thousand episodes that cannot be overlooked--this is the basis for the story that unfolds for the protagonists of this book, which covers a busy, in some ways raging, epoch. Men can now allow themselves the luxury of telling the story, sometimes even contradicting each other, of what happened between 1983 and 2001, with their own behind-the-scenes anecdotes, technical details, secrets and emotions.

Book excerpt: The birth of a Grand Prix team does not occur every day -- or every season for that matter, Formula 1 is an extremely difficult business to break into, and very few new arrivals survive beyond their first year. That's why the racing world took note in 1997 when a new team bearing the name of race legend Jackie Stewart gained a foothold in the sport. The team has, in fact, been in the news since 1996, when Stewart and his son, Paul, first announced their intentions. Racing Stewart tells the story of this remarkable adventure, charting in full for the first time ever, the birth of a Grand Prix challenger. Hamilton and Nicholson were granted unparalleled access to the team from Stewart's initial decision, giving them a behind-the-scenes look at the peaks and valleys that are an inevitable part of gaining acceptance in this ruthless sport.

Download or read book Benetton written by Damien Smith and published by Evro Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2023-09-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unconventional, flamboyant, ground-breaking, colourful, controversial -- the Benetton Formula 1 team was all of those things. Defying perceptions as the rebels of Formula 1, Benetton achieved great success, particularly in the two glorious seasons of 1994 and 1995 when the team swept aside the big names -- Williams, McLaren and Ferrari -- to claim back-to-back World Championship titles for up-and-coming Michael Schumacher. This book tells the entire 1986-2001 history of the Benetton team for the first time with insightful contributions from many of the key participants, including Flavio Briatore, Alessandro Benetton, Pat Symonds and Rory Byrne. Beginnings: after three seasons in F1 as a sponsor, Benetton purchases ailing Toleman and creates its own BMW-powered team for 1986, taking a first win that year with Gerhard Berger. Growing in stature: with Flavio Briatore arriving to run the team and using Ford engines, Benetton edges towards consistently strong performances, including two consecutive wins for Nelson Piquet at the end of 1990. The key driver: the inspired signing of Michael Schumacher takes Benetton closer to glory during a 1992-93 high-tech period that sees the Williams team reign supreme. The breakthrough year: Following tragedy, black flags, disqualifications, a pitlane inferno and political maneuvring, the tumultuous 1994 season ends with Schumacher sealing the World Championship title for Benetton after a controversial clash with rival Damon Hill. The best year: Transferring to Renault engines, Benetton dominates in 1995, Schumacher taking a second consecutive crown thanks to nine wins and Johnny Herbert supporting to help deliver the constructors' title too. The hangover: After Schumacher's departure to Ferrari and the loss of factory Renault engines, Benetton struggles to maintain its status in 1996-97 with Gerhard Berger and Jean Alesi, achieving just one win in those two seasons. Farewell: A prolonged period of decline concludes with Renault's purchase of the team at the end of 2001. With a lavish array of images accompanying the authoritative text, Benetton: Rebels of Formula 1 will delight all Formula 1 enthusiasts.
