DC testing the Benetton 192:

I need some backstory on the 1995 McLaren Schumacher test.

In the meantime, to stay on topic, one of the coolest-looking cars of the mid-90s (shape-wise, not livery-wise)

It's David Coulthard, he borrowed it at the Monaco GP because his helmet kept steamming up

HEY! The thread title is ONE old F1 pic per post. ADMIN BAN PLS.

(Also cool Ligier pic, I know he tested it but never saw the pic )

Mmm. Both ligier and sauber had carbon copy cars of the team schumacher was racing for

Ha, I forgot how much of a piss-take the Ligier was!

Flavio bought a large share in Ligier in 1993, basically to strip them of the Renault engines that he couldn't get for Benetton at that point.

In 1995, he 'promoted' Tom Walkinshaw from chief engineer at Benetton to 'run' Ligier, and so we ended up with this:



The early B195, of course, had the same weird engine cover bit...



Somewhat incredibly, Walkinshaw was able to successfully argue that they were sufficiently different:



Apparently, the JS41 was signed for by Frank Dernie, despite it being a literal clone of Rory Byrne's design. And people griped about the Red Bull and Toro Rosso...

Stefano Modena in the Jordan 192 before SASOL sponsorship was secured.

This was my view of the famous taxi ride after the 1991 British GP. Shortly after taking this photo I was picked up (literally) by a police woman and taken back to the spectator area.

Belgian GP 1998, Eddie is airborne...

Ah, that is one of the pictures from *after* someone thought to tell Damon about the tape on his ear! Obviously wouldn't happen these days.

That must have been one hell of a party that night

I miss me some good underdog win, it's been a while.

We had Herbert's win at the Ring in 1999, Vettel at Monza in 2007 and Button's win at Melbourne in 2008. It has been long overdue.
