I know, I've already done this video, but not having the rock music behind is better, right? Jazz for life and stuff...
The Option 13 Scandal is my favourite motorsports story. How it was all in within the carnage that was the 1994 season and how it tainted the legacy of one of the greatest drivers of all time.

It dawned on me, Senna's death was the "perfect storm". Beginning with Newey not getting the FW16 right, and Briatore launching his mafioso mode that very same year, combined with Schumacher being a fantastic driver, and Senna being a competitive animal determined to dominate in 1994, this placed Senna in a weird backfoot, able to pull off miraculous poles because he was "Senna", but having to "drive like hell" in races to find himself rowing against the tide rather madly, especially in Imola. Then, a suspension rod entering his helmet through a rubber gasket around the visor and piercing his brain, that was way too freakish. Perhaps, had he known things would turn around later in the season, or if the FW 16 had been more competitive earlier in the season, he would have been less anxious, or less eager to beat a car that was using illegal artifices, and, on top of that, being driven by a sensational driver.

There was a great video on Flavio Briatore where engineer Willem Toet explains how the Benetton team found a loophole in the 1994 regulations which allowed for software limiting RPMs depending on which gear the car was in as part of the engine management system. So, technically they did have a form of traction control that wasn't covered under the rules 🤣👍🏻

Honestly, Cheating in motorsport is often as interesting as the racing itself. Option 13, Toyota's WRC Restrictor plate, Penske and Smokey Yuenick's antics over in the states, they're all some of my favorite things in motorsport. To echo what you said in the first one of these - I want to see an Option 13 film about this.

Not just Smokey Yuenick- Look up some of the work Junior Johnson did in the NASCAR scene. They would do something super illegal on the exterior to hide any of the little cheats they did so the officials wouldn't notice them, then raise hell when they called out the blatant stuff to throw them off the scent. Junior Johnson was the reason NASCAR adopted the choreographed pitstop too, because he would run out into the pits during the pitstop and work on the car himself 😂 Nowadays the inspections have gotten so advanced it seems like all the car owners and crew chiefs are running out of ways to innovate the sport

The stuff the NASCAR guys did was nuts. Connecting the gas tank to the chassis so it would hold gallons and gallons of extra gas. Inflating basketballs in the tanks so that when tested they could hold the right amount of gas, then deflating them after inspection. Filling the chassis with ball bearings to make minimum weight and dropping them on the way to the green flag. Drivers used to sneak shots of NOS during qualifying laps. There’s a legend that Smokey Yunich is the reason for over half the NASCAR rule book.

Can you do a quick episode about how high tech 90’s F1 teams really were? Like consumer grade laptops back then were the dimensions of a briefcase... yet I watch the 90’s adelaide GP’s and each team has paper thin almost MacBook spec laptops... on the sensible end it’s because they’re rich and are in a position to provide data that advances computer tech, and why racing games were so good from 95 onwards (F1 95 being wire models scanned into a world) The out there end of the argument? Time travellers.

I wouldn't be surprised if the laptops they were using then were ahead of the curve as tech companies also were integral to the telemetry which was also really starting to gain ground at the time. No time travel...just a lot of money and nerds who love racing.

I noticed you mentioned Mark Blundell at one point there. I think he holds the speed record for Le Mans after the chicanes were put in on the Mulsanne, because the turbo waste gates on Group C Nissan got stuck leading to him punching above 1100 horsepower by the end. The onboard footage of the lap is crazy, and Blundell hit 238mph at one point. He got pole by 6 seconds due to the fortuitous malfunction. It's one of my favourite Group C stories

​@@joebone3151Main problem is how little run-off there is at the end if you've got cars approaching at that speed. Parabolica at Monza was approached at ~220 mph by F1 cars in the mid-2000s. It has a larger run-off than the Mulsanne corner and a much higher entry speed, as it's not a basically right-angle, 60 mph corner. Cars approaching at 230, 240+, then slowing to that speed is just too dangerous - especially with multi-class racing. The chicanes on the Mulsanne are relatively quick corners, so the problem of cars slowing with big speed differences is minimised.

@@RunDub Yes, that could be true, although one would think that even after a few GPs, after a few failures they would of got a possible working launch control system to be fully reliable, or certainly more reliable. Especially with all the testing time available back then, away from the GPs. Thus one would expect as the season progressed, that the system would develop and the amount of launch failures would decline. What actually happened doesn’t seem to support that. To continue to rely on a faulty launch control system, to the point it’s loosing you significant ground at the start of a good percentage of GPs, throughout the whole season, seems a strange decision / risk to take.

@@nickmaclachlan5178 a F1 car using launch control does not have wheel spin like the B194 sometimes had. You can easily see this in 93 and later in 2001. So its pretty obvious that Benetton did not have a "classic" launch control. Indeed the truth is they used a very clever system, which used air pressure in the airbox, rpm,.ambient air pressure and gear to determine the velocity of the car, and "tune" the traction of the car/available torque/power of the engine by spark cutting. As the track conditions sometimes change during a session or a race, sometimes even within minutes(high pressure region coming, track getting "more rubbered in"), as did the grip of the track, this system sometimes was working better and sometimes was useless. It was a very clever system invented by Benetton to "tune" the traction of the car. But it was not a "classic" traction control working with wheel sensors etc. Some now may say - but it affected the traction of the car so it was traction control- if you argue like that, than every team emulated traction control sooner or later, because they all had ways to improve traction and emulate some kind of traction control. Benetton only was the first team to find the best way to emulate some kind of traction control. All the teams worked on something like that. Benetton just did better job in that regard and were able to make such a system work.

I think that's the most frustrating thing about the B194. All the key players either can't or don't tend to talk about it in detail. I'm sure Schumacher's ability was a big factor and it's hard to gauge car performance because his teammates were nowhere near him. Schumacher called the car difficult to drive but he never looked like stacking it, most of the time. Is the blown diffuser stuff actually confirmed as fact?

The Ford being a sole V8 on the grid, might it have had a better drivability through throttle application? Indeed top speeds were low, but lap times good.

The indeed odd noise under traction limitation sure is suspect, though.

Ayrton's instinctive sense as to how to push any car to the limits was - and probably still is - unique and unmatched, and even despite the technical issues with the FW16 (of which he was painfully aware), he was absolutely convinced that there was something hinky going on with Benetton - apparently even going as far as to listen out for the engine noise coming from Schumacher's car on the grid.

If all these teams have had the necessary data and the know-how, it could be exploited with a bit of trickery. You can't undo everything at the flick of a switch. The fact that Moseley thought this was pure folly. Hence we got the clusterfuck of a season that was 1994. Almost literally out with the old and in with the new. In typical F1 fashion.

I do remember Jos complaining that his car was basically a thrift shop of hand me downs, he never got the top notch car like Schumi. I always thought that was because Benetton couldn’t actually afford to run two cars full ops. But years later Jos was asked about the option 13 thing, he was well away from Benetton by then, and he still zipped his lips. He was ‘not at liberty’, as they say. Which is a clear statement in itself, someone still had a few strings to pull. Then Renault/Piquet jr happened. All very Ludlum, with Briatore in the middle of it. There is a personality type that HAS to break a rule, however small and insignificant, as proof of power. Even if you can do a thing smooth, easy and legal, that’s not on. Complying with rules is the ultimate sign of weakness. Bria is very much that type. If you get a sachet of sugar with your coffee, he’ll snatch yours so he can have two.

One thing I've never understood, as a computer programmer myself, is how/why do you examine source code to check what a system does or is capable of? From the sound of everything, they're coding in 'C' and the code has to be compiled into executable machine code to actually run on the car. So who guarantees that the software on the vehicle is the same program as the source code provided for analysis? Couldn't the teams provide one version of the source code but compile a different version? Can anyone explain who stands over the team and says, "This is the source code you gave us. Now flash that exact code on to your microcontroller(s) and don't change it after our backs are turned"? Or does the investigating team examine the binary code after compilation? I've always thought the FIA never had a clue about how computer code works whenever I read stories about option 13.

Also like you sayed, Schumacher won not only one Start in the beiginnig of 1994, wich is basicly not possible with a TC. With a TC, he sholud destroy every Start of the first 3 Races.

From what I understand the reason schu was so fast was that he was left foot braking. The only problem is that it uses more fuel than right foot braking. This is not a problem in the refuelling era. It’s not clear who was also LFB at that time, but in 94 both schu and hakk were LFB. Coulthard definitely wasn’t. This can be confirmed by a live bbc broadcast, Johnathan palmer stated that brundle couldn’t use the two pedal set up in hakks car. As Adrian alluded to in his video, Brundle wouldn’t have been able to if he wanted due to old injuries. But it proves the point. A lot of the older drivers couldn’t left foot brake. Including senna.just to add some information from frank dernies podcast, the Benetton had very high levels of rear traction, hence the sometimes lightening starts, despite having a temperamental clutch. Senna had a lot of problems in the ‘94 Williams, including it being too cramped for him.

Best driver in the best car with all other top drivers retiring had FIA worried it would be too easy or something.

Williams already had the best car before they added electronic aids (they only lost the championships in 1991 due to unreliability and blunders), so avoiding a Williams-Senna total domination wasn't a compelling argument for the ban anyway. It really was because they were worried about safety, and the 1993 season proved them right: Senna and Andretti had several crashes because of active suspension behaving weirdly on kerbs, Zanardi crashed heavily at Spa, Berger slid across the track exiting the pits at Estoril, all because of failures of electronic aids.

However the question remains: when is it that FIA actually decided to ban? I really don't remember that but the way it went after - cars basically the same but stripped out of driver aids - makes me think it was a last minute thing.

The traction control hardware controls were already part of the engine control system. Ignition (cut or retard) and (sequential) fuel cut are good strategies. Braking control is not required. I don’t really have an opinion on wether option 13 was a thing or not, but 2/3 power control strategies would have been available for use as traction control and would have been adequate. Also, Launch control (esp in 1994 implementation) doesn’t require TC. Launch control maintains a pre determined RPM when moving off the line. Driver floors the throttle and the launch control does keeps the engine at the target RPM while the driver manages clutch slip without having to modulate the throttle. Big plus in a car that has a clutch the size of a saucer. In this setup there is no need for a wheel speed sensor. Nowadays TC is seen as part and parcel of launch, but technically it is a different system. So it’s feasible that launch, TC or a combo of both could be implemented using ignition and fuel controls by anyone who dared run the risk of being found out. Both systems are very audible.

I started working on a NASCAR Cup team in 1994 and we and everyone else were cheating like crazy. A few of my favorite were we made a deck lid that you could adjust the spoiler down during qualifying at super speedways like Daytona. We also had nitrous that would spray through a rivet in the fire wall and we used it during qualifying and had to change the carburetor jets for qualifying since you needed more fuel with the nitrous. Then in the late 90s we got to be good friends with an engineer at MSD and he had modified a MSD box for his son’s late model race car and we were very interested in it and we used it for quite a while and never got caught. Somehow it would drop the rev limiter if it started to lose traction. I don’t know how he actually got it to work but it did and no one was the wiser. You always run 2 ignition boxes and 2 coils so you have a backup and the driver would just switch ignition systems after he got up to speed because it was noticeable that something was different if you launched with that box, it would cut out when you hit the throttle to hard so it was only switched on ar top speed.
