Benetton won the 1995 Constructors’ Championship with Michael Schumacher and Johnny Herbert as its drivers.
The 1995 season was Benetton’s first and only Formula One Constructors’ Championship. The team used Renault V10 engines and scored 137 points across a 17-race calendar, finishing ahead of Williams. Michael Schumacher won his second consecutive Drivers’ Championship, while Johnny Herbert made a major contribution with victories in Britain and Italy.
Schumacher won nine races during the season, matching Nigel Mansell’s single-season record at the time. Herbert’s two wins were his first victories in Formula One and helped turn Benetton’s driver pairing into a championship-winning combination. Benetton secured the constructors’ title at the Japanese Grand Prix, one race before the finale.
The season also included controversy: Benetton and Williams lost points from the Brazilian Grand Prix after fuel irregularities. Even with that deduction, Benetton remained champion. The title was especially notable because it ended the long period in which Williams and McLaren had dominated the championship.
