Yeah, Schumachers car was borked. I think Hill mentioned this in his Biography - if he had not attempted the move, he would have been WDC that year. I am not sure if Benetton ever confirmed or denied the damage. It's one of those moments that goes into F1 folklore like Mansells exploding tyre, and the 2 Senna / Prost collisions etc.
