Berger had chosen not to renew his contract with Benetton and although rumours suggest he was then unable to find a seat, a number of indicators point to the fact that he had decided to retire some time ago. At the Austrian Grand Prix, when asked what his future held he replied, "I see a lot of sun and a lot of beach!"
Gerhard?s retirement from Formula One represents the end of an era.
