Benetton Group entered Formula One as a sponsor of Tyrrell in 1983, then Alfa Romeo in 1984;
this arrangement was extended to both Alfa and Toleman in 1985. Benetton Formula Ltd. was
formed at the end of 1985 when the Toleman and Spirit teams were sold to the Benetton family.
The team saw its greatest success under Flavio Briatore, who managed the team
from 1990 to 1997. Michael Schumacher won his first Drivers' Championships with the team
in 1994 and 1995, and the team won their only Constructors' title in 1995. From 1996, the team
raced under an Italian licence although it continued to be based, like Toleman, in Oxfordshire in
England. The team was bought by Renault for US$120 million in 2000 and was
rebranded Renault F1 in 2002.
In 1979, Benetton first sponsored their (then amateur) local rugby team, A.S. Rugby
Treviso. Benetton Rugby has since become a major force in Italian rugby, with 11 league titles
and supplying many players to the national team. [30] Benetton Group has also sponsored Treviso
Basket (1982–2012) and Sisley Volley (1987–2012).
