My mistake, I thought it was Jordan.   Did MShumacher ever race with
Jordan?

> Frank Williams always dumps his World Champions.

Not 100% true, but close enough I guess :-), for some strange reason,
FW's drivers always seem to clinch titles at the end of their contract
period, or with very short time to go, so when those guys come back to
him and say "Hey, I'm the reigning WC, I really should get a pay rise"

Guess what happens next, FW doesn't believe in putting too much money
into his drivers, he puts them into his cars instead, and so far he
seems to know what he's doing

Yep, a couple of races in his rookie season, Benetton picked him up
rather quickly though and EJ got a nice fat check

IIRC, he drove his first ever F1 race with Jordan (Spa 1991) and was grabbed
up pretty quickly by Bennetton which he continued the season with. He won
his first race at Spa the following  year with Bennetton.

Funny, more than a few managers are quoted as saying the exact reverse of
that, and which has always been my understanding: the DWC comes before the
CWC every time.  Eg, Ferrari were *not* happy with the CWC, they had to
make sure of winning the DWC.  McLaren and Williams have only been playing
the "Team" game with no named #1 drivers because they've known for the last
3 years they had no chance of winning the DWC with any of their drivers.

That's my understanding of the situation anyway, the CWC is just a ***y
prize, the DWC is what they all strive for ;o)

Nope - he only drove the one race iirc. As for EJ getting a nice fat
check, that took several years, and a trip to the law courts to sort that
one out, and afaik the exact results of that process have never been
revealed.

Could well be you're right, I don't follow the in's and out's of F1 that
closely anymore, I just seem to remember some comment from EJ that the
check he got from Bennetton paid for his engines or words to that
effect, I'm getting old and my memory is failing me
