The '''1994 Monaco Grand Prix''' was the fourth round of the 1994 Formula One Season. Held at the Circuit de Monaco, Monte Carlo on May 15, 1994, it was the first race since the deaths of [[Roland Ratzenberger]] and [[Ayrton Senna]] at the {{F1 GP|1994|San Marino}}. As a mark of respect, the front row of the grid was left empty, and the flags of Brazil and Austria were painted on the track at the position of the first two grid slots.

The '''1994 Monaco Grand Prix''', otherwise officially known as the '''[[Monaco Grand Prix|LII Grand Prix Automobile de Monaco]]''' was the fourth round of the {{F1|1994}} [[FIA]] [[Formula One|Formula One World Championship]], held at the [[Circuit de Monaco]], Monte Carlo on [[May 15|15 May]], 1994.<ref name=GP>'Monaco GP, 1994', ''grandprix.com'', (Inside F1 Inc., 2014), https://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr552.html, (Accessed 02/08/2019)</ref> The race, which was the first to be held since the deaths of [[Roland Ratzenberger]] and [[Ayrton Senna]], would see [[Michael Schumacher]] sweep to his first career [[Grand Chelem]].<ref name=GP></ref>
   
  +
The build up to the race was dominated by the fallout after the [[1994 San Marino Grand Prix]], with FIA president [[Max Mosley]] having launched an investigation into slowing the cars down.<ref name=GP></ref> {{Williams-Renault}}, meanwhile, would only run [[Damon Hill]] in Monte Carlo as a mark of respect to Senna, with the officials opting to leave the front row completely empty in honour of Senna and Ratzenberger.<ref name=GP></ref>
−
The race was won from pole by {{Benetton-Ford Cosworth}} driver [[Michael Schumacher]], his fourth consecutive win. It had been Schumacher's first pole position. Second place was taken by [[Martin Brundle]], with {{Ferrari-CON}}'s [[Gerhard Berger]] in third.
  
  +
  +
Unfortunately practice would be marred by another huge accident, with [[Karl Wendlinger]] demolishing his {{Sauber-Mercedes}} at the Nouvelle Chicane.<ref name=GP></ref> The Austrian racer was left unconscious by the impact, and would spend several weeks in a coma, while the Sauber-Mercedes team withdrew their other entry of [[Heinz-Harald Frentzen]].<ref name=GP></ref>
  +
  +
With that Mosley opted to publish the new regulations, which heavily restricted front and rear aero, as well as improved the safety of the cockpit.<ref name=GP></ref> These new regulations were to be enforced in two stages, with the [[1994 Spanish Grand Prix|Spanish]] and [[1994 Canadian Grand Prix|Canadian Grand Prix]] the deadlines.<ref name=GP></ref> [[Niki Lauda]], meanwhile, would announce the reformation of the [[Grand Prix Drivers' Association]] on Friday morning.<ref name=GP></ref>
  +
  +
[[Qualifying]], meanwhile, would see Schumacher sweep to his maiden [[pole|pole position]], although he would technically start from third due to mark of respect for Senna and Ratzenberger.<ref name=GP></ref> His closest challenger would be [[Mika Häkkinen]], who gave the German ace a good battle in his {{McLaren-Peugeot}}, while [[Gerhard Berger]] snatched third from Hill.<ref name=GP></ref>
  +
  +
Schumacher would go on to make his familiar strong start, leaping away from Häkkinen to deny the Finn a chance of lunging his way past into Sainte Devote.<ref name=GP></ref> Hill, meanwhile, managed to out-drag Berger into the first corner, only to throw a dive to the inside of Häkkinen and put both into the wall.<ref name=GP></ref>
  +
  +
Unsurprisingly their accident caused a the rest of the field to bunch up and try and find a way through, meaning Schumacher gained a huge lead.<ref name=GP></ref> Indeed, it was such an advantage that the German ace would be able to pit without losing the lead at all, with Berger leading the chase from teammate [[Jean Alesi]].<ref name=GP></ref>
  +
  +
The race proved to be fairly processional from that moment on, until [[Mark Blundell]] dumped oil at Sainte Devote shortly after half-distance.<ref name=GP></ref> Schumacher almost went sliding into the barriers when he hit the slick, while Berger went skating down the escape road and hence left the door open for [[Martin Brundle]] to slip into second.<ref name=GP></ref>
  +
  +
With that the race was effectively over, with Schumacher also collecting [[fastest lap]] after his stop to secure his first ever Grand Chelem.<ref name=GP></ref> Brundle duly claimed second to record his best ever F1 result for McLaren-Peugeot, while Berger completed the [[podium]] for {{Ferrari-CON}}.<ref name=GP></ref>

Formula One had been devastated with the death and destruction caused at the previous round of the world championship at San Marino.<ref name=":0">(1994). Who else but Schumacher?. Duke Video: Great Britain</ref> The three time world champion, Ayrton Senna along with rookie driver Roland Ratzenberger had both lost their lives over the course of the weekend whilst competing at the circuit.<ref name=":0" /> In respect of the fallen drivers', their teams Williams and Simtek had decided to field only one car for Monaco. Damon Hill and David Brabham would have to carry the hopes of their teams on their own.<ref name=":0" />

In response to this, Senna's old friend, teammate and rival, Gerhard Berger began to seriously contemplate retirement from the sport.<ref name=":0" /> Berger left Imola with absolutely ''"no desire" ''to get back into a racing car.<ref name=":0" /> There were fears among Ferrari that Berger had quit the sport when he refused to attend a test session for the up-coming Monaco Grand Prix.<ref name=":0" />

Berger had began to question his willingness to take the risk in Formula One to which he noted ''"I earned good money, I was driving for good teams. I was winning races, pole positions, quickest lap. Basically not a lot to prove, so what is the point still to take risk in what was every day work in this job."''<ref name=":0" />'' ''

However despite the fears, Berger returned to the Formula One paddock ahead of the beginning of the Monaco Grand Prix weekend.<ref name=":0" />'' ''Berger, realised that nothing else could replace his ''"love"'' for Formula One.<ref name=":0" /> Berger further commented, ''"Basically you don't love anything else. I have a company at home, I would have a challenge in my company but what I love is driving racing cars."''<ref name=":0" />
  +
  +
The FIA under the leadership of Max Mosley began working immediately to overhaul the regulations in regards to safety.<ref name=":0" /> In the immediate aftermath of Ratzenberger's fatal accident, both Senna and Schumacher proposed that the pit-lane speed limit be implemented for the next round of Monaco.<ref name=":0" /> Following Imola, a pit lane speed limit had been approved for all future races.<ref name=":0" />

===Imola Impressions===
  +
A third straight victory for [[Michael Schumacher]] ensured that the German ace had a commanding lead in the Championship after the opening three rounds, leaving San Marino with 30 points to his name. [[Damon Hill]] was officially his closest challenger, although the Brit was already 23 points behind, and only ahead of third placed [[Rubens Barrichello]] on count-back. [[Gerhard Berger]] was next, level on six points with stand-in teammate [[Nicola Larini]], with twelve drivers on the board.
  +
  +
In the Constructors Championship it had been another strong afternoon for {{Benetton-Ford Cosworth}}, who left Imola with almost double the points of their closest challengers. Indeed, {{Ferrari-CON}} had established themselves in second after Larini's podium, although with only sixteen points to Benetton's 30 the Italian squad still had room for improvement. {{Williams-Renault}}, meanwhile, were up to third, level with {{Jordan-Hart}}, although their entire season had been thrown into chaos as a result of [[Ayrton Senna|Ayrton Senna's]] death.

During the morning practice, Wendlinger loses control of his Sauber exiting the tunnel and flew into the barriers at the ''Nouvelle Chicane.''<ref name=":0" /> Wendlinger was extracted from his car with serious head injuries.<ref name=":0" /> Sauber decide to retire their one remaining car of Frentzen from the race.<ref name=":0" />
−
===Q1===
  
   
  +
However there was some positive news when the FIA confirmed that his condition was ''"serious but stable."''<ref name=":0" />'' ''The telemetry data demonstrated that Wendlinger had braked 13 metres too for the ''Nouvelle Chicane ''and had crashed.<ref name=":0" />

=== Friday ===
  +
The non-track day of the Monaco weekend saw the drivers' and team personnel attend the traditional social events.<ref name=":0" /> However before the attempted relaxation could commence, the drivers' gathered for an emergency meeting to discuss the increasingly dangerous new cars.<ref name=":0" /> Aside from the death's of Senna and Ratzenberger there had been very serious accidents for Lehto, Alesi, Barrichello and most recently the grave injuries of Karl Wendlinger.<ref name=":0" />
  +
  +
There to rally the shaken race drivers in the meeting was Niki Lauda, the three time world champion whom had most infamously survived scarring and death during his old career.<ref name=":0" /> In San Marino, Senna, Berger and Schumacher had planned to reform the Grand Prix Drivers' Association (GPDA) for the Monaco race.<ref name=":0" />
  +
  +
<nowiki> </nowiki>Although Senna had now departed, the GPDA was as planned recreated before the Monaco race.<ref name=":0" /> At the conclusion of the meeting, Lauda led the assorted drivers' to meet the most numerous and eager press.<ref name=":0" /> Lauda confirmed the reformation of the GPDA to the world and announced that both Berger and Schumacher, Christian Fittipaldi and himself would serve as the directors' for the organisation.<ref name=":0" />
  +
  +
Lauda noted the GPDA's first plan of action was to work alongside the FIA to ensure there was ''"immediate action for the next three Grand Prix's circuits" ''in terms of improving the safety standards of the races.<ref name=":0" />
  +
  +
FIA President, Max Mosley immediately responded to the demands made by the GPDA.<ref name=":0" /> That afternoon he hosted a press conference to which he announced that the next race in Barcelona would see all cars have a mandatory smaller diffusor, raised front wing end plates and smaller overall front wing size.<ref name=":0" /> Mosley then noted ''"the effect of that for those that are not technical is that the downforce on the car will immediately be reduced."''<ref name=":0" />'' ''The cars were expected to have 15% reduced downforce ahead of this race.<ref name=":0" />
  +
  +
In two races time in Montreal, Mosley planned to increase driver head protection by increasing the overall size of the cockpits.<ref name=":0" /> The weight limit for the car would be increased to 25 kilograms to adjust for the heavier requirements.<ref name=":0" /> Furthermore, Mosley announced that the wishbones would be strengthened to help prevent a wheel detachment, the airboxes on the engines would all be removed as well as mandatory pump petrol being used on all cars.<ref name=":0" />
  +
  +
== Qualifying ==
  +
Schumacher had set the fastest time during the Thursday session, however on Saturday the McLaren of Häkkinen would set the new benchmark.<ref name=":0" /> Häkkinen's lap time proved to be blindingly fast, he was eight tenths quicker than Schumacher and had improved his personal best by two seconds.<ref name=":0" />
  +
  +
Despite fears for his retirement, Berger was performing well and was running third fastest behind Häkkinen and Schumacher.<ref name=":0" /> Although Häkkinen appeared to hold control over the session, towards the end of the session, Schumacher set a new lap time to which meant he went a whole second faster than the McLaren.<ref name=":0" />
  +
  +
<nowiki> </nowiki>Schumacher's qualifying time was described as ''"staggering" ''and ''"near perfect" ''to which none of his rivals could find a possible answer to his time.<ref name=":0" /> In describing his lap, Schumacher commented ''"I just knew this was the lap that the tyres would perform 100% and was going to make a big step compared to the first lap. In the last corner I came really sideways and I lost quite a lot."''<ref name=":0" />

=== Report ===
  +
Ahead of the race, a minute of silence was held on the grid in memory of Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna after their deaths at the San Marino Grand Prix.<ref name=":0" /> The first row of the grid was left empty ahead of thee race, the grid positions painted in with Brazilian and Austrian flags.<ref name=":0" /> Senna's Brazilian racing compatriots, Rubens Barrichello and Christian Fittipaldi held a Senna liveried Brazilian flag which read ''"Adeus Ayrton."''<ref name=":0" />
  +
  +
Schumacher took a commanding lead of the race as behind him, Hill collided with the rear of Häkkinen which forced the McLaren to spin into the escape road at ''Sainte Devote.''<ref name=":0" />'' ''Behind them there was further chaos when Morbidelli and Martini crashed before even reaching the first corner.<ref name=":0" />
  +
  +
Häkkinen had meanwhile stalled his car and was out of the race whilst Hill had damaged his suspension and was forced to also park his car.<ref name=":0" /> Schumacher began to pull away as behind him came the Ferrari's of Berger and Alesi whilst a short distance behind them were Fittipaldi, Brundle and Blundell.<ref name=":0" />
  +
  +
By lap twenty, Schumacher began to exert his authority on the field having lapped the entire field up to eighth position.<ref name=":0" />
  +
  +
After forty laps, Berger was a long way distanced from Schumacher's lead, however he himself had a sizeable lead to Brundle's third position.<ref name=":0" /> However when Blundell suffered a blown engine at ''Ste Devote'', Berger spun on the oil of the stricken car.<ref name=":0" /> Three corners later, Brundle whom had quickly caught Berger then overtook the Ferrari around the outside at ''Mirabeau.''<ref name=":0" />
  +
  +
Although Brundle had made it to second, he had no chance of catching Schumacher's Benetton whom would take another victory without anyone to challenge him at the flag.<ref name=":0" /> With Brundle and Berger completing the podium, the final points positions went to De Cesaris, Alesi and Alboreto.<ref name=":0" />

Revision as of 22:15, 2 August 2019

The 1994 Monaco Grand Prix, otherwise officially known as the LII Grand Prix Automobile de Monaco was the fourth round of the 1994 FIA Formula One World Championship, held at the Circuit de Monaco, Monte Carlo on 15 May, 1994.[1] The race, which was the first to be held since the deaths of Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna, would see Michael Schumacher sweep to his first career Grand Chelem.[1]

The build up to the race was dominated by the fallout after the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, with FIA president Max Mosley having launched an investigation into slowing the cars down.[1] Williams-Renault, meanwhile, would only run Damon Hill in Monte Carlo as a mark of respect to Senna, with the officials opting to leave the front row completely empty in honour of Senna and Ratzenberger.[1]

Unfortunately practice would be marred by another huge accident, with Karl Wendlinger demolishing his Sauber-Mercedes at the Nouvelle Chicane.[1] The Austrian racer was left unconscious by the impact, and would spend several weeks in a coma, while the Sauber-Mercedes team withdrew their other entry of Heinz-Harald Frentzen.[1]

With that Mosley opted to publish the new regulations, which heavily restricted front and rear aero, as well as improved the safety of the cockpit.[1] These new regulations were to be enforced in two stages, with the Spanish and Canadian Grand Prix the deadlines.[1] Niki Lauda, meanwhile, would announce the reformation of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association on Friday morning.[1]

Qualifying, meanwhile, would see Schumacher sweep to his maiden pole position, although he would technically start from third due to mark of respect for Senna and Ratzenberger.[1] His closest challenger would be Mika Häkkinen, who gave the German ace a good battle in his McLaren-Peugeot, while Gerhard Berger snatched third from Hill.[1]

Schumacher would go on to make his familiar strong start, leaping away from Häkkinen to deny the Finn a chance of lunging his way past into Sainte Devote.[1] Hill, meanwhile, managed to out-drag Berger into the first corner, only to throw a dive to the inside of Häkkinen and put both into the wall.[1]

Unsurprisingly their accident caused a the rest of the field to bunch up and try and find a way through, meaning Schumacher gained a huge lead.[1] Indeed, it was such an advantage that the German ace would be able to pit without losing the lead at all, with Berger leading the chase from teammate Jean Alesi.[1]

The race proved to be fairly processional from that moment on, until Mark Blundell dumped oil at Sainte Devote shortly after half-distance.[1] Schumacher almost went sliding into the barriers when he hit the slick, while Berger went skating down the escape road and hence left the door open for Martin Brundle to slip into second.[1]

With that the race was effectively over, with Schumacher also collecting fastest lap after his stop to secure his first ever Grand Chelem.[1] Brundle duly claimed second to record his best ever F1 result for McLaren-Peugeot, while Berger completed the podium for Ferrari.[1]

Background

Formula One had been devastated with the death and destruction caused at the previous round of the world championship at San Marino.[2] The three time world champion, Ayrton Senna along with rookie driver Roland Ratzenberger had both lost their lives over the course of the weekend whilst competing at the circuit.[2] In respect of the fallen drivers', their teams Williams and Simtek had decided to field only one car for Monaco. Damon Hill and David Brabham would have to carry the hopes of their teams on their own.[2]

In response to this, Senna's old friend, teammate and rival, Gerhard Berger began to seriously contemplate retirement from the sport.[2] Berger left Imola with absolutely "no desire" to get back into a racing car.[2] There were fears among Ferrari that Berger had quit the sport when he refused to attend a test session for the up-coming Monaco Grand Prix.[2]

Berger had began to question his willingness to take the risk in Formula One to which he noted "I earned good money, I was driving for good teams. I was winning races, pole positions, quickest lap. Basically not a lot to prove, so what is the point still to take risk in what was every day work in this job."[2]

However despite the fears, Berger returned to the Formula One paddock ahead of the beginning of the Monaco Grand Prix weekend.[2] Berger, realised that nothing else could replace his "love" for Formula One.[2] Berger further commented, "Basically you don't love anything else. I have a company at home, I would have a challenge in my company but what I love is driving racing cars."[2]

The FIA under the leadership of Max Mosley began working immediately to overhaul the regulations in regards to safety.[2] In the immediate aftermath of Ratzenberger's fatal accident, both Senna and Schumacher proposed that the pit-lane speed limit be implemented for the next round of Monaco.[2] Following Imola, a pit lane speed limit had been approved for all future races.[2]


Imola Impressions

A third straight victory for Michael Schumacher ensured that the German ace had a commanding lead in the Championship after the opening three rounds, leaving San Marino with 30 points to his name. Damon Hill was officially his closest challenger, although the Brit was already 23 points behind, and only ahead of third placed Rubens Barrichello on count-back. Gerhard Berger was next, level on six points with stand-in teammate Nicola Larini, with twelve drivers on the board.

In the Constructors Championship it had been another strong afternoon for Benetton-Ford Cosworth, who left Imola with almost double the points of their closest challengers. Indeed, Ferrari had established themselves in second after Larini's podium, although with only sixteen points to Benetton's 30 the Italian squad still had room for improvement. Williams-Renault, meanwhile, were up to third, level with Jordan-Hart, although their entire season had been thrown into chaos as a result of Ayrton Senna's death.

Practice Overview

Thursday Practice

During the morning practice, Wendlinger loses control of his Sauber exiting the tunnel and flew into the barriers at the Nouvelle Chicane.[2] Wendlinger was extracted from his car with serious head injuries.[2] Sauber decide to retire their one remaining car of Frentzen from the race.[2]

However there was some positive news when the FIA confirmed that his condition was "serious but stable."[2] The telemetry data demonstrated that Wendlinger had braked 13 metres too for the Nouvelle Chicane and had crashed.[2]

Friday

The non-track day of the Monaco weekend saw the drivers' and team personnel attend the traditional social events.[2] However before the attempted relaxation could commence, the drivers' gathered for an emergency meeting to discuss the increasingly dangerous new cars.[2] Aside from the death's of Senna and Ratzenberger there had been very serious accidents for Lehto, Alesi, Barrichello and most recently the grave injuries of Karl Wendlinger.[2]

There to rally the shaken race drivers in the meeting was Niki Lauda, the three time world champion whom had most infamously survived scarring and death during his old career.[2] In San Marino, Senna, Berger and Schumacher had planned to reform the Grand Prix Drivers' Association (GPDA) for the Monaco race.[2]

Although Senna had now departed, the GPDA was as planned recreated before the Monaco race.[2] At the conclusion of the meeting, Lauda led the assorted drivers' to meet the most numerous and eager press.[2] Lauda confirmed the reformation of the GPDA to the world and announced that both Berger and Schumacher, Christian Fittipaldi and himself would serve as the directors' for the organisation.[2]

Lauda noted the GPDA's first plan of action was to work alongside the FIA to ensure there was "immediate action for the next three Grand Prix's circuits" in terms of improving the safety standards of the races.[2]

FIA President, Max Mosley immediately responded to the demands made by the GPDA.[2] That afternoon he hosted a press conference to which he announced that the next race in Barcelona would see all cars have a mandatory smaller diffusor, raised front wing end plates and smaller overall front wing size.[2] Mosley then noted "the effect of that for those that are not technical is that the downforce on the car will immediately be reduced."[2] The cars were expected to have 15% reduced downforce ahead of this race.[2]

In two races time in Montreal, Mosley planned to increase driver head protection by increasing the overall size of the cockpits.[2] The weight limit for the car would be increased to 25 kilograms to adjust for the heavier requirements.[2] Furthermore, Mosley announced that the wishbones would be strengthened to help prevent a wheel detachment, the airboxes on the engines would all be removed as well as mandatory pump petrol being used on all cars.[2]

Qualifying

Schumacher had set the fastest time during the Thursday session, however on Saturday the McLaren of Häkkinen would set the new benchmark.[2] Häkkinen's lap time proved to be blindingly fast, he was eight tenths quicker than Schumacher and had improved his personal best by two seconds.[2]

Despite fears for his retirement, Berger was performing well and was running third fastest behind Häkkinen and Schumacher.[2] Although Häkkinen appeared to hold control over the session, towards the end of the session, Schumacher set a new lap time to which meant he went a whole second faster than the McLaren.[2]

Schumacher's qualifying time was described as "staggering" and "near perfect" to which none of his rivals could find a possible answer to his time.[2] In describing his lap, Schumacher commented "I just knew this was the lap that the tyres would perform 100% and was going to make a big step compared to the first lap. In the last corner I came really sideways and I lost quite a lot."[2]

Race

Report

Ahead of the race, a minute of silence was held on the grid in memory of Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna after their deaths at the San Marino Grand Prix.[2] The first row of the grid was left empty ahead of thee race, the grid positions painted in with Brazilian and Austrian flags.[2] Senna's Brazilian racing compatriots, Rubens Barrichello and Christian Fittipaldi held a Senna liveried Brazilian flag which read "Adeus Ayrton."[2]

Schumacher took a commanding lead of the race as behind him, Hill collided with the rear of Häkkinen which forced the McLaren to spin into the escape road at Sainte Devote.[2] Behind them there was further chaos when Morbidelli and Martini crashed before even reaching the first corner.[2]

Häkkinen had meanwhile stalled his car and was out of the race whilst Hill had damaged his suspension and was forced to also park his car.[2] Schumacher began to pull away as behind him came the Ferrari's of Berger and Alesi whilst a short distance behind them were Fittipaldi, Brundle and Blundell.[2]

By lap twenty, Schumacher began to exert his authority on the field having lapped the entire field up to eighth position.[2]

After forty laps, Berger was a long way distanced from Schumacher's lead, however he himself had a sizeable lead to Brundle's third position.[2] However when Blundell suffered a blown engine at Ste Devote, Berger spun on the oil of the stricken car.[2] Three corners later, Brundle whom had quickly caught Berger then overtook the Ferrari around the outside at Mirabeau.[2]

Although Brundle had made it to second, he had no chance of catching Schumacher's Benetton whom would take another victory without anyone to challenge him at the flag.[2] With Brundle and Berger completing the podium, the final points positions went to De Cesaris, Alesi and Alboreto.[2]

Post-Race

A frustrated Berger had finished third after having lost the position to Brundle when he spun on the oil of Blundell's blown engine.[2] Berger admitted after the race, "I saw too late the oil flag and I lost about nine or ten seconds and so Martin was just behind me."[2]

During the race at Monaco, Lamy had become the first driver to exceed the pit lane speed limit and was subsequently given a $5 000 fine.[2]

Milestones

Standings

A fourth dominant victory of the season had left Michael Schumacher with a daunting lead in the Championship, the German holding a perfect score of 40 points after four races. That left the German thirty points clear of second placed Gerhard Berger, meaning the Austrian racer would have to win three Grand Prix just to draw level. Behind, Damon Hill had slipped to third ahead of Rubens Barrichello, with fifteen drivers on the scoresheet.

In the Constructors Championship it had been another strong day for Benetton-Ford Cosworth, who left Monte Carlo with an eighteen point lead. Their closest challengers were still Ferrari, who left the Principality with 22 points, while McLaren-Peugeot were up to third. In truth the Anglo-French squad were level on points with Jordan-Hart, but considered ahead on count-back, while Williams-Renault had slipped to fifth
