While the Benetton B194 might've not been to Lehto's liking, there's no doubt that his still very sore neck also contributed to his lack of success in the '94 season. In fact, he's been quoted during the 1994 Monaco GP weekend saying "I couldn't feel the steering wheel in my hands, so I never knew whether I was turning too much or too little coming into a corner". Being four seconds off Schumi is quite impressive in those circumstances.
Briatore ruined Lehto's F1 career, which is a shame because he had a lot of potential. But that's probably a subject for another topic.
