, Hockenheim

, who died the monday after the previous F1 round, the British Grand Prix.
started the race from the pole position
alongside Michael Schumacher
. After making a good start, Hill spun in the first corner on the 2nd lap sending his car across a gravel
trap and into a tyre barrier, ending his race.
Schumacher was left leading David Coulthard
and Gerhard Berger
, who was promptly assessed a 10 second stop-and-go penalty for jumping the start of the race
. The penalty dropped Berger to 14th position though he fought back to finish back in 3rd place. Berger denied jumping the start, claiming that though his car did move slightly when he put it into gear, it was stationary when the green light came on to start the race.
Benetton
's 2-stop strategy for Schumacher prevailed over the 1-stop strategy Coulthard was on, as Schumacher pulled away from the field giving himself enough room to make his second pit stop
and remain in the lead. Schumacher became the first German to win a World Championship German Grand Prix
. His car broke down after the race had finished, as did that of team-mate Johnny Herbert
and Aguri Suzuki
(whose car caught fire).
Initially it was believed that Hill spun off due to oil
laid down on the track from overfull oil tanks - as it is common practice for teams to fill the oil tanks prior to the start of the race. A few days after the race, however, the Williams
team discovered that Hill's car had in fact suffered from a driveshaft failure leading to his accident. Shortly before he went off, Murray Walker
commented that he had noticed blue smoke coming out of the back of Hill's car; the reason for this was never discovered.
The blown Ford
engine of Pierluigi Martini
spelt the end of the Italian's F1 career, as he was replaced in Minardi
by Pedro Lamy
for the next race.
