Race

At the start both Schumacher and Senna got away well but Michael was slightly quicker. Senna's car twitched as they braked but the Brazilian decided it was best not to slam the door. Schumacher was worried that Senna would power ahead at the exit of the corner and so he lifted slightly. He said that this was to ensure that the Ford engine was in the right rev range at the exit. Senna was not expecting it and lifted off while Hakkinen was not ready for a sudden hesitation by Senna and crashed into the back of the Williams, tipping the car into a spin. Senna's car took off Larini while there were various bumps further back in the field as everyone tried to get through.

With Senna standing beside the track watching (and listening for traction-control) Schumacher drove away form the rest of the field at a remarkable pace while Hakkinen ran second. Damon Hill tried to pass him on lap four and spun off as a result. He rejoined ninth and charged back to fourth by the time of the pit stops. While making his own stop Hakkinen's McLaren stalled. He rejoined but the hydraulic system was fading and the Finn parked the car soon afterwards. This left Schumacher with a lead of half a minute over Berger with Barrichello chasing him. Traction control systems, on current production vehicles, are typically (but not necessarily) electro-hydraulic systems designed to prevent loss of traction (and therefore the control of the vehicle) when excessive throttle or steering is applied by the driver. ...

Hill had pitted and had dropped back again but was still charging hard. He would eventually climb up the order to second place but then went out with a gearbox failure. When the various strategies had been played out Schumacher was the winner with Berger second. Brundle had been third but his race ended with a Peugeot engine failure. Barrichello earned his first podium with third, Christian Fittipaldi survived to finish fourth ahead of Frentzen and Erik Comas (Larrousse). This was Frentzen's first points in Formula One.
