This is the car in which Michael Schumacher won the 1994 Formula One championship after a controversial crash at the last race of the year. Although Nigel Mansell took the pole, Damon Hill lined up in third place on the grid with Schumacher in second. Schumacher took the lead at the start, with Hill second behind him. The order between the two remained the same until lap 36. Hill was catching Schumacher when the Benetton driver went off the track, hitting a corner wall with his right side wheels before pulling back onto the track. Hill had rounded the fifth corner of the track when Schumacher pulled across the track ahead of him to the left. At the next corner Hill attempted to pass Schumacher; the two collided when Schumacher turned in. Schumacher was eliminated on the spot. Hill attempted to continue the race and pitted immediately, but retired from the race with irreparable damage to the car's suspension. As neither driver scored, Schumacher took the title.
