About the season

Schumacher retained his title with Benetton, which also delivered the team's only constructors' championship in its history. The Schumacher-Hill rivalry turned bitter, with the pair colliding twice during the season, at the British and Italian Grands Prix, and Schumacher accusing Hill of deliberately "brake testing" him in France. Mid-season it emerged that Schumacher would leave Benetton for Ferrari in 1996, tasked with ending the Scuderia's championship drought. Many judged the Williams the faster car, yet Benetton's race strategy repeatedly out-maneuvered them. Michael Schumacher won the 1995 Drivers' Championship with 102 points (Benetton), 33 points ahead of the runner-up. Benetton won the Constructors' Championship with 147 points, 29 points ahead of the runner-up. Across 17 completed races this season, there were 211 retirements. 5 different drivers won a race this season. Michael Schumacher took the most race wins, 9 in total. Schumacher won the season-opening race, the Brazilian Grand Prix. The Argentine Grand Prix saw the most retirements of the season, with 17 drivers failing to finish. The most dominant win of the season came at the Spanish Grand Prix, with a margin of 52.0 seconds. The season's biggest upset win came from Schumacher at the Belgian Grand Prix, starting from grid position 16. The closest finish of the season came at the European Grand Prix, with a gap of just 2.684 seconds. Blundell made the biggest gain of the season at the Japanese Grand Prix, from grid position 23 to finishing 7 (up 16 places). Hill won the Australian Grand Prix, the final race of the season.
