Damon Hill, Coulthard's team-mate, started the race in second, but dropped down to third behind Schumacher at the start. Hill remained behind Schumacher for the majority of the race, before losing his front wing in a collision with Alesi and dropping back due to the resultant pit stop. He then spun off the track on lap 58 when running in fourth position, leading to his retirement. Alesi looked set to win the race after starting the race with dry weather slick tyres on a damp track, but was held up in lapped traffic and overtaken by Schumacher two laps before the end of the race. Schumacher's win kept him at the top of the Drivers' Championship, 27 points ahead of Hill. The German driver only needed a further three points to secure the title. Benetton were now 20 points ahead of Williams in the Constructors' Championship following Schumacher's win. |
