It wasn't as good as what Ferrari and McLaren are now. The Benetton of that time was more like BMW-Sauber is now. Just have a good look. Where was Schumacher's team mate of 1994 to ever be seen? Damon Hill's team was up there most of the time. David Coulthard was it not? Benetton-Ford was up there because of Schumacher. The Ford V8 that powered it was inderior by far to the Renault V10 that powered Williams. Also not surprising Williams won the constructors championship easily that year. Given Benetton were actually crap and there was only 1 Schumacher and not 2, the constructors title was just not possible. So now if Lewis Hamilton were instead driving for BMW-Sauber instead of McLaren or even Ferrari, then he would probably be crap. Robert Kubica who is as far as I am concerned better than Lewis Hamilton should beat him virtually every race if both were at BMW. And dare I say it, if Robert Kubica were in Lewis Hamilton's McLaren seat instead, he would long be 2008 world champion by now.
We've been here before, Kiki. The B194 was not inferior to the FW16 at all. The FW16 started off as a very difficult car to drive. Its mechanical grip was very poor in comparison to the Benetton B194 and there were several aerodynamic problems with the car: the low nose design was outdated compared to Benetton's design and the rear end of the car was very skittish (which probably contributed towards Senna's fatal accident). The B194 certainly had traction control and was very likely to have had launch control as well. Williams also went backwards for a time with the development of the car. Before the San Marino Grand Prix, new parts were put onto the car and Senna was very critical of them. It was not until the second half of the season that Williams got on top of the car's flaws. Only Senna's brilliance made the car look in half decent at the start of he season.
Absolute rubbish, if you are talking about the Adelaide incident. And i'm not even a Schumacher fan!
Hill was far too eager to get past Schumacher, he should have waited to make his move. He even admitted that himself.
Schumacher had just went off the track.
What! Schumacher deliberately turned his car into Hill's Williams. There can be no excuse for this absolutely disgusting piece of driving from Schumacher.

All of this sounds very nice, but if you scratch below the surface you find your case deeply flawed. At the start of the 2006 season, the Renault was vastly superior to the Ferrari. It was not until the second half of the season that Ferrari's development muscle kicked into life. When it did, Alonso was left in the dust of Schumacher. In fact, Schumacher did will to remain in contention for the title with such mediocre equipment. In 2005, the McLaren was easily the fastest car on the track, but was very unreliable. Raikkonen would smoke the entire grid - Alonso included - and then his car itself would go up in smoke. You could make a very compelling argument that Alonso was the second-best driver in each of his championship-winning seasons. For an analysis of 1994, see above. To me, the seasons that you have brought into discussion suggest that Schumacher was a very good driver but that Alonso was not quite so sharp.
Whatever happened, there was a few iffy decisions that led to Schumacher's 2 race ban. He was like Hamilton is today in the FIA's eyes back then.
Silverstone - he was in the wrong
But there was always something funny about what happened in Spa.
Mosley and co had always been out to get Schumacher since he had begun his career.
And yeah I do admit that Adelaide was a bit iffy - but Schumacher wasn't really someone id have trusted. Hill should have waited 
I shall talk about the 1994 British Grand Prix first. As you probably know, Schumacher was to be penalised for overtaking Hill on the formation lap. Schumacher, for some reason or other, seemed to ignore this penalty. Not before long, marshals were waving the black flag at him. Again, Schumacher seemed to ignore them. Benetton claimed that they had some communication difficulties with the stewards and were not aware that Schumacher was to be penalised. On television, members of the Benetton team were remonstrating with the officials for some reason or other. Soon after, Schumacher came into the pits for a stop-go penalty. On the face of things, it would look like Benetton did not get the message that Schumacher was being penalised, but later realised he was getting black-flagged and told him to stay out whilst they sorted out the problem. There have been numerous communication difficulties with the stewards anyway, so it's not unbelievable that there was some communication breakdown between they and Benetton. The stewards are basically a law unto themselves and the FIA would, of course, want to save face, so it's no surprise really that Benetton were said be to wrong and penalised. I don't, however, believe that the punishment was given to favour Hill's title bid. At this stage, he was a million miles behind Schumacher in the title race. Hill only got back into the title because of Schumacher's subsequent punishments. I also don't think that the stewards penalised Schumacher to give Hill a chance of winning the British Grand Prix. Schumacher did wrong, so had to be penalised no matter what track he was at. The problem was either Benetton chancing their arm or a communication breakdown between the team and stewards. Personally speaking, I think it was a bit of both. Later in the season, Benetton lost their appeal against the disqualification and the FIA also decided to ban Schumacher for two races. This is where I think Schumacher was treated a little harshly. First, on the face of things, it seemed that Benetton's pitwall crew stuffed up, so it was unfair to specifically target the driver for this. Second, Schumacher had already been rightly disqualified from the British Grand Prix for his offence, so a single-race ban or a pretty severe grid penalty would have been more fair. I'm also not sure, however,that this was done to help Hill's title bid. If the FIA or anybody else really wanted to scupper Schumacher's title chances or make the championship battle more exciting, they could have disqualified Benetton completely from both championships or gave them a nasty punishment for running launch control and almost certainly some form of traction control. Also, in the mid-1990s, the FIA often gave out heavy-handed penalties and Schumacher's sin, in their eyes, was pretty bad - exactly the sort of thing they clamped down on. I'll concede, though, that the FIA also have form in making decisions to spice up the end of a championship.
The second penalty of the season was also fairly controversial. Schumacher was disqualified because the skidblock was worn out too much. Benetton claimed this was because of accident or something Schumacher had during the race. The FIA didn't buy the story and disqualified him. To be honest, I think the FIA were probably right, for you would expect to be able to tell the difference between a skidblock that was intentionally too small or had been worn out throughout the race and one that had been damaged in an accident.
Overall, I would say Schumacher was very lucky. The Benetton did have some illegal electronic aids on it - the dogs on the street knew it, but it was tough to prove - so he could well have been excluded from the championship or severely penalised if the FIA really wanted to favour Hill. Furthermore, Schumacher's stunt in Adelaide was worthy of disqualification or exclusion from the championship (like what happened in 1997), so, again, the FIA could done that against Schumacher to favour Hill. As separate issues, however, the two-race ban was a little draconian, but the disqualification he incurred in Belgium was fair enough.
