TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM - 1994
In 1994, Benetton, Schumacher's Constructor, was embroiled in a huge controversy where they were accused of using illegal traction control software to give their cars an unfair advantage over others. During the Brazilian Grand Prix, Senna made a pitstop while leading the race, with Schumacher just behind him. Benetton made a quick stop sending Schumacher ahead of Senna, and the German won the race eventually as Senna spun out of track. This led to allegations that Benetton used a system that made pitstops quicker than other teams. There was not enough proof to prove Benetton guilty of using traction control software, which was deemed illegal at that time, and the season ended amidst a storm of arguments. FIA asked Ferrari, Mclaren and Benetton to submit their car's racing design for review, following allegations of traction control systems being used. Mclaren and Benetton submitted their design blueprints after FIA's deadline forcing FIA to fine them for $100,000 each. Subsequently, FIA made several rule changes that took into account both driver safety and constructors' ethics.
