How much would you pay for arguably the most infamous car in F1 history?
Michael Schumacher's championship-winning Benetton B194 is up for sale on eBay... and bidding currently stands at 2.6 million euro.
That’s the very car used by Schumi in 1994 to completely-accidentally-but-quite-comprehensively bump Damon Hill, his closest title rival, off the track in Adelaide in the final race of the season, thereby claiming his first F1 title.
If you've no idea what we're talking about, watch the video below and prepare to be lightly outraged. Cynical doesn't even begin to cover it.
The controversial Benetton was lovingly rebuilt after its Australian crash, and now lives in Toronto, Canada. If you choose to bid, you'll get plenty for your cash: not only a race-spec F1 car, but also a truck loaded with spare parts, including two sets of wheels and plenty of spare wings.
Just in case you, er, accidentally crash into someone...

I watched the clip -- again and again. Clearly Baby Hill ran into the back of Schumi. Why are all these jealous little wannabees claiming to be drivers?It was their elder relatives (Graham, Gilles, Ayrton) who were good. These guys are just cashing in on the family name!

If someone DID actually buy it, then how'd they drive it? I suppose from past and present drivers, it's HARD! You'd need to be god! Is STIG bidding? I think so........
