Benetton B190

The Benetton B190 was a Formula One racing car designed by Rory Byrne together with technical director John Barnard, and Benetton raced it from the third round of the 1990 season. It was powered by the Ford HBA4 V8, a development of the engine designed at Cosworth for exclusive use by the team, which gave roughly 650 horsepower. It was the team's first naturally aspirated car with the air box above the driver's head. The small, light engine let the team run less downforce and keep up in a straight line with the V10 McLaren-Honda and Williams-Renault cars and the V12 Ferrari. Nelson Piquet and Alessandro Nannini drove it until Nannini's helicopter crash after the Spanish Grand Prix.
