Car for sale, one careless owner, €2.5 million o.n.o

If you have 2.5 million euros burning a hole in your pocket, then why not get yourself off to eBay and treat yourself to a piece of Formula 1 history. You can be the lucky owner of the Benetton B194… in which Michael Schumacher won his first F1 title way back in 1994.

The B194 which comes with a bucketload of spares, has a retuned Cosworth engine, is in its original  livery and is in perfect condition - save for the rear wishbone, knackered by the dastardly German cheat when he callously robbed Damon Hill of the title at the season ending Australian Grand Prix.

Bear a grudge, us?  Never.

So, French men do come second

So, French men do come second

Former F1 drivers dominated the Le Mans 24 hours this weekend, with Alex Wurz (Benetton, McLaren and Williams) Marc Gene (Minardi and Williams) and David Brabham (Brabham and Simtek) winning the classic for Peugeot.

Meanwhile, the all French sister car driven by….  most of France’s F1 drivers of the last fifteen years, Sebastien Bourdais (Toro Rosso), Franck Montagny (Super Aguri) and Stephane Sarrazin (Minardi) came in second.

Peugeot bosses, Le Mans chiefs and French motorsport fans were not sure whether to laugh or cry.
