1995 Formula One season
Encyclopedia
The 1995 Formula One season was the 46th season of FIA
Formula One
motor racing. It featured the 1995 FIA Formula One World Championship, which was contested over 17 races from March 26 to November 12, 1995. For the second year in succession, the Drivers' Championship was won by Michael Schumacher
, the Benetton
driver defeating Damon Hill
of Williams
by 33 points. Benetton
-Renault
won the Constructors' Championship, defeating Williams
-Renault
by 29 points.
The season was highlighted by the rivalry between Schumacher and Hill, with Schumacher winning nine races and Hill winning four races. Benetton and Williams drivers dominated the field, victorious in all but one race, the Canadian GP won by Jean Alesi
in a Ferrari
. During the season, Ferrari proved to be competitive in most races but poor reliability prevented both drivers and team challenging for the championship. Jean Alesi, Johnny Herbert (Benetton Renault) and David Coulthard (Williams Renault) all won their first races in F1.
now at the Nürburgring
circuit. The Argentine Grand Prix
was the only newly announced race, with it taking place at the Autódromo Oscar Alfredo Gálvez
circuit. The circuit was due to kick off the calendar on March 12, but there were doubts over whether the circuit would be ready in time. There were also doubts over round two at Brazil
, with the previous year's death of Ayrton Senna
hitting Brazil motorsport very hard. The third race in Japan
was also under threat, as it was due to take place at the TI Circuit
. However, the circuit was badly affected after the Great Hanshin earthquake
, which hit the local infrastructure hard. The San Marino
round, Spanish
round and the Italian round
were also under threat, with safety works taking place and the Circuit de Catalunya
in financial difficulty. On February 6, a revised calendar was announced, with the Argentine Grand Prix moved to April 9, despite the fact it had now received official clearance from FIA safety inspector Roland Bruynseraede
. The Pacific round was moved due to the Kobe earthquake, with it now one week before the Japanese Grand Prix
. The European Grand Prix
was moved forward seven days, leaving just a seven day gap between the Portuguese
and European rounds. However, some tracks still needed clearance to race.
Although 14 teams and 28 drivers respectively were on the official 1995 entry list, the Larrousse
team with drivers Éric Bernard
and Christophe Bouchut
never turned up at the circuit for any of the on-track sessions. This was due to the team running short of money: in the period prior to the event, with French government aid not forthcoming and a 1995 chassis not yet built, team owner Gérard Larrousse
elected to miss the first two rounds of the season in the hope of competing from the San Marino Grand Prix
onwards. No funding ever arrived and it was too late for them to build a car for the season. There were some arrangements with the DAMS
Formula 3000 team, but DAMS bosses wanted to buy Larrousse and run the team themselves. However, on February 13, the boss of DAMS, Jean-Paul Driot announced that they had abandoned plans to enter Formula One
for 1995, as he could not find a good amount of sponsorship to run the team at a competitive level. Driot said he intended to return to Formula 3000 and prepare for an F1 bid in . Larrousse's withdrawal, in addition to the collapse of the Lotus
team after the end of the 1994 season
, dropped the number of participating cars to 26, guaranteeing all the entrants of a race start, without the threat of failing to qualify, for the first time since the 1994 Canadian Grand Prix
. The threat of a drivers' boycott over the terms of their 1995 Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile
(FIA) Super Licences
, which allowed the FIA to demand promotional appearances and forbade the drivers from criticising the championship, was defused by the governing body prior to the race, ensuring full driver participation.
Of the teams that did appear, all had completely new chassis to cope with the revised Technical Regulations, which stipulated a variety of changes including the reduction of engine capacity and the size of aerodynamic wings, the introduction of more stringent crash testing, the raising of the cars' ride height, and more rigorous testing of fuel specifications all with the aim of reducing speeds and increasing driver safety, a process which had begun in the aftermath of the deaths of Roland Ratzenberger
and Ayrton Senna
during the weekend of the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix
. The cars were still in various stages of development heading into the new season; the Footwork FA16
and Simtek S951
chassis arrived at the event with virtually no testing, having been completed shortly beforehand. There was one new team in the shape of the Italian Forti
outfit, whilst the Benetton
, McLaren, Footwork
, Jordan
, Pacific
, Ligier and Sauber
teams had all changed their engine suppliers in the course of the off-season. Of the initial 1995 drivers, Pedro Diniz
was the only complete rookie, whilst Andrea Montermini
started his first race after failing to qualify for the 1994 Spanish Grand Prix
due to injury. Mika Salo
and Domenico Schiattarella
had competed in two races, with Taki Inoue
competing in one race the previous season.
Minardi
had been expected to run with Mugen-Honda engines, but at the last minute, Ligier boss Flavio Briatore
persuaded the Japanese engine supplier to supply Ligier, leaving Minardi in a mess. Their car was designed for the Honda V10 and parts were already being made. The Minardi team had to work flat out to build a brand new car with a Ford ED
engine. Team owner Giancarlo Minardi
announced he was taking legal action against the Japanese supplier. The status of Ligier and who its owners were was coming under scrutiny. The news that Martin Brundle
had signed with them for 1995 brought up rumours that Tom Walkinshaw
was the new boss of the team. Walkinshaw's move to Ligier from Benetton (where he had been Benetton's Engineering Director) was part of the deal between Flavio Briatore
and FIA's Max Mosley
the previous year to get Benetton
off the hook for the use of an illegal fuel filter in the 1994 German Grand Prix
. Benetton admitted that the filter was illegal and was let off, on the understanding that major changes would be made within the team. Briatore appeared to have asked Walkinshaw to control Ligier. Controversy surrounded the Ligier JS41
car, with rival team owners comparing it to the Benetton B195
car because of their similar design, the only apparent difference being the engine in each car. Commenting on the design similarities, Walkinshaw said:
At the front of the field, Michael Schumacher
and Damon Hill
in the Benetton and Williams
cars respectively were the favourites to battle for the Drivers' Championship, with Schumacher anticipating a "struggle" for the championship. Bernard Dudot, Renault Sport's
Chief Engineer, said that he believed Benetton was less well-prepared than Williams, as the former team had changed its engine supplier to Renault, whereas Williams had been in partnership with the company since .
McLaren were also concerned about the standard refuelling equipment provided for 1995 by suppliers Intertechnique, having suffered a major leak in a test of the new rig outside of its factory. Intertechnique had redesigned the fuel equipment, which was used by all of the teams, in the wake of a pit lane
fire suffered by driver Jos Verstappen
during the previous year's German Grand Prix
. The new fuel rigs, in addition to being half the size of the 1994, also featured longer nozzles, and were designed to lock onto the car before any fuel could begin to flow. Intertechnique traced the problem to a fault valve within the equipment, which caused 10 kilograms (22 lb) of fuel to leak, and modified the parts accordingly. It was only the seventeenth race since refuelling had been reintroduced to the sport at the start of the 1994 season.
Another rule revision meant that the minimum weight limit of 595 kilograms (1,311.8 lb) applied to both car and driver together. Prior to the first session of the season, all of the drivers were weighed to establish a reference weight to be used on occasions when the two were weighed separately, or if the driver was unavailable to be weighed. As such, a small competitive advantage could be established if the driver attempted to register a weight as heavy as possible, so their actual weight when driving the car would be lower.
The Formula One regulations changed prior to the 1995 season. The most significant change was the to the engine capacity. This was reduced from 3.5 Litres to 3.0 Litres, in order to reduce speeds. All of the cars were fitted with cockpit side protection, and the cockpit opening was made larger than the 1994-spec cars. The front and rear wings were modified to reduce downforce
, thereby reducing cornering speeds. These changes were in reaction to the deaths of Roland Ratzenberger
and Ayrton Senna
at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix
, who both died of head and neck injuries. Some of the F1 circuits were changed, with larger run-off areas featuring at tracks such as Monza
and Imola
.
The Benetton team had Renault engines for the first time, after running Ford V8s for several years. Michael Schumacher
won nine out of the seventeen Grands Prix, and won his second World Championship. Schumacher's main title rival was Damon Hill
, who was driving for Williams-Renault. Hill and Schumacher were involved in some very close battles at numerous races, including at the 1995 Belgian Grand Prix
, where the two championship contenders fought wheel-to-wheel for extended periods.
Damon Hill
received criticism during 1995, after several incidents that were attributed to driving errors. The 1995 British Grand Prix
was overshadowed by a controversial collision between Hill and Schumacher, and Hill was widely blamed for the accident. Hill also suffered with mechanical problems in his Williams-Renault.
Jean Alesi
won the 1995 Canadian Grand Prix
, which was his first and only victory in Formula One. Alesi also nearly won the European
and Japanese
Grand Prix, only being passed by Schumacher with a few laps to go in the former, and retiring with a driveshaft bearing failure in the latter.
Nigel Mansell
made a brief return to Formula One with McLaren. The McLaren-Mercedes cockpit was initially too small for Mansell, and he had to miss the first two races whilst McLaren redesigned the monocoque
. His eventual return for the 1995 San Marino Grand Prix
was disappointing, and he was outpaced by Häkkinen. After another disappointing race at the Spanish Grand Prix
Mansell and McLaren parted ways, and Mark Blundell
drove the second McLaren for the remainder of 1995. Mika Häkkinen
was seriously injured in a crash during practice for the 1995 Australian Grand Prix
. The fast actions of the medical crew, including performing an emergency tracheotomy
, saved his life, and he later returned to the track in . Later that year, Mansell revealed that he intended to "fight for the championship with Williams", but the Williams team chose David Coulthard
instead.
One of the rookies for 1995 was Taki Inoue
who drove for Footwork Arrows
. During First Qualifying for the 1995 Monaco Grand Prix
his car stalled on the track, and the session was stopped in order to recover the car. A course car driven by Jean Ragnotti
was travelling too fast and Ragnotti was unsighted by the barriers on the twisty circuit. Ragnotti's car crashed into Inoue's stranded car, flipping the Arrows. Inoue was knocked unconscious but he recovered and took part in the race on Sunday. At the 1995 Hungarian Grand Prix
Inoue's car retired with a mechanical problem. He got out of his car and grabbed a fire extinguisher in order to put out a small fire on his car. Inoue then walked into the path of a course car, and was knocked over. Inoue bounced off the front of the car and collapsed on to the grass. He suffered minor leg injuries.
The Simtek team pulled out after the Monaco race
.Despite being on the entry list, the Larrousse team did not contest any races.
, the famous Lotus
name disappeared from the grid along with Larrousse
, with Forti
entering the fray. Minardi
had been expected to run with Mugen-Honda engines, but at the last minute, Ligier boss Flavio Briatore
persuaded the Japanese engine supplier to supply Ligier, leaving Minardi in a mess.
The status of Ligier and who its owners were was coming under scrutiny. The news that Martin Brundle
had signed with them for 1995 brought up rumours that Tom Walkinshaw
was the new boss of the team. Walkinshaw's move to Ligier is part of the deal hammered out last year by Flavio Briatore
and FIA's Max Mosley
to get Benetton
off the hook for the use of an illegal fuel filter in the 1994 German Grand Prix
. Briatore appeared to have asked Walkinshaw to control Ligier.
.
Drivers did not finish the Grand Prix, but were classified as they completed over 90% of the race distance.
Note: Benetton Renault and Williams Renault were not awarded Constructors Championship points for their placings in the Brazilian Grand Prix as the cars were deemed to be using illegal fuel.

McLaren were also concerned about the standard refuelling equipment provided for 1995 by suppliers Intertechnique, having suffered a major leak in a test of the new rig outside of its factory. Intertechnique had redesigned the fuel equipment, which was used by all of the teams, in the wake of a pit lane

. The new fuel rigs, in addition to being half the size of the 1994, also featured longer nozzles, and were designed to lock onto the car before any fuel could begin to flow. Intertechnique traced the problem to a fault valve within the equipment, which caused 10 kilograms (22 lb) of fuel to leak, and modified the parts accordingly. It was only the seventeenth race since refuelling had been reintroduced to the sport at the start of the 1994 season.
Another rule revision meant that the minimum weight limit of 595 kilograms (1,311.8 lb) applied to both car and driver together. Prior to the first session of the season, all of the drivers were weighed to establish a reference weight to be used on occasions when the two were weighed separately, or if the driver was unavailable to be weighed. As such, a small competitive advantage could be established if the driver attempted to register a weight as heavy as possible, so their actual weight when driving the car would be lower.
Season review
The 1995 F1 Season featured several dramatic incidents, including seven Grands Prix affected by rain and 4 Grands Prix were red-flagged on the first lap of the race.The Formula One regulations changed prior to the 1995 season. The most significant change was the to the engine capacity. This was reduced from 3.5 Litres to 3.0 Litres, in order to reduce speeds. All of the cars were fitted with cockpit side protection, and the cockpit opening was made larger than the 1994-spec cars. The front and rear wings were modified to reduce downforce
