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. With a lavish array of images accompanying the authoritative text, this is a book that will delight all Formula 1 enthusiasts.
