Race
Michael Schumacher took his fifth victory from six races, finishing ahead of main title rival Damon Hill – although he was 33 points behind Schumacher after the race – who was over half a minute behind Schumacher at the race's conclusion. Ferrari driver Jean Alesi completed the podium, and teammate Gerhard Berger remained the only other driver on the lead lap in fourth place. Respective teammates of the top two, David Coulthard and JJ Lehto finished the race in the final points-scoring positions of fifth and sixth, which was Coulthard's first points in Formula One, and also Lehto's last. Although, Lehto wouldn't have gained these points if it hadn't been for Christian Fittipaldi being disqualified for having an underweight car, which came home 6th.
During the race, Erik Comas became the first ever driver to be penalised for speeding in the pitlane; he received a stop and go penalty.

Famous quotes containing the word race:
“Why should a man desire in any way
To vary from the kindly race of men,
Or pass beyond the goal of ordinance
Where all should pause, as is most meet for all?”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“I write mainly for the kindly race of women. I am their sister, and in no way exempt from their sorrowful lot. I have drank [sic] the cup of their limitations to the dregs, and if my experience can help any sad or doubtful woman to outleap her own shadow, and to stand bravely out in the sunshine to meet her destiny, whatever it may be, I shall have done well; I have not written this book in vain.”
—Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)
“Nothing has caused the human race so much trouble as intelligence.”
—John Michael Hayes (b. 1919)
