Qualifying

In qualifying, Ayrton Senna was on pole position but Michael Schumacher's second place was a surprise to many. There were allegations that the team had found a way around the new F1 electronic regulations which banned the most sophisticated electronics which helped the drivers. These included fully-automatic gearboxes, traction control and launch control - a system which allowed a driver to simply push the accelerator fully on when the start was given without needing to pay attention to wheel-spin or gear changes.

Race

At the start Alesi overtook Schumacher for second place, but Senna kept the lead. This lasted only a lap and a half before the German moved back up to second and chased after Senna. Alesi dropped back quickly while Hill was struggling with handling problems in fourth. Wendlinger was fifth and Verstappen sixth. On lap 21 Senna and Schumacher pitted together. The Benetton stop was very fast and Michael emerged ahead and began to pull away. At the halfway mark, on lap 35, Martin Brundle, Verstappen and Eddie Irvine, fighting for seventh place, came up to lap Eric Bernard's Ligier. Brundle had a mechanical failure and his McLaren slowed. Bernard had to lift off and Irvine moved to the left, straight into Verstappen, who had been trying to overtake. At 200mph the Benetton went on to the grass and veered right into and over Irvine and was launched into a series of somersaults, hitting Brundle as it went. A rear wheel of the car hit Brundle's helmet but amazingly everyone emerged unscathed. The Benetton B194 was designed by Rory Byrne for the 1994 F1 season. ...

The order remained the same at the front after the second pit stop until lap 56 when Senna spun out of the race while trying to catch Schumacher. This left Hill second, Alesi third and Barrichello fourth in Hart's 250th race. Katayama was fifth (which was his first points) and Wendlinger sixth, however all of those ended up a lap behind as Schumacher lapped the whole field. Brian Hart Ltd. ...
