Notes

• Fastest Lap: Jean Alesi 1:29.413
• Pole position: Damon Hill 1:30.346
• Pedro Diniz was involved in two major incidents during the race. First he collided with Luca Badoer, whose Forti was flipped and landed upside down in the gravel, bringing out the safety car. Trackside marshals were heavily criticized for their delay in aiding Badoer's escape from the car. Diniz managed to continue and made a pit stop, only to retire when he came back onto the circuit and his Ligier burst into flames, because a safety-valve in the fuel tank had jammed open.
