A flashy launch in Venice and four wannabee F1 winners
Eighteen years ago, back in the days when F1 teams tried to outdo each other with flashy launches, Benetton opted for Venice and its beautiful Piazza San Marco to present its 2001 car and a quartet of young drivers. Surrounding the Renault-powered B201 were full-time racers Jenson Button and Giancarlo Fisichella - the ones with the glasses - and test drivers Mark Webber and Fernando Alonso.
