The Benetton B201 was the car with which Benetton competed in the 2001 Formula One World Championship, and it was the last car constructed and raced by Benetton. It was driven by Giancarlo Fisichella and by Jenson Button, who moved from Williams, with Mark Webber as test driver. It used the new Renault RS21 engine with an unusually wide 112 degree angle, and the team switched from Bridgestone to Michelin tyres. The car was launched in Piazza San Marco in Venice. The season began poorly, with Fisichella qualifying 17th in Australia and calling the car undriveable, and a major update at the midpoint of the season brought a clear improvement in the second half.
